Minesweeper NETFLIX Reviews

Can't believe you've copied World of Mines!

It won’t even open on my iPad Pro 2017. Tried redownloading, nothing. Why?

The game doesn't load. It's stuck on the screen that shows when you open the game.

Faulty programming leads to you failing levels

Love minesweeper. Have loved it for years. If you also like minesweeper, this version is garbage. Don’t bother. After the 10th time of thinking I turned the flag only to blow a mine because I didn’t swipe the dang toggle correctly, I gave up. There are literally dozens of minesweeper apps that solved this problem over a decade ago, how is these developers so unaware?

There’s been a standard set of controls for minesweeper for more than a decade. MinesweeperNETFLIX doesn’t have a way to use those controls. Pass.

I identify all 7 mines and have only one square left.
If I select that last square & inevitably- it’s a mine

How do I get to the next level .??

It’s nice to look at, but not being able to clear tiles or trigger chords from the “flag” mode makes actually playing the game a chore.

It would be great if there was an option to long press on a square while in flag mode to clear it. And I want to trigger a chord in flag mode with just a tap.

Sometimes the flag button stops working when placing the final flag on the map.

I played minesweeper when I was a kid and it’s nice to play a modern take on it. I do notice a bug where you can’t plant a flag using a long press in reveal mode. I have to quit MinesweeperNETFLIX in MinesweeperNETFLIX switcher and open it again to have it work. The choice of locals are sort of strange. Why am I sweeping mines in the Pacific sea? Easter Island, Hawaii, Japan? Why not Miami, LA, or the UK? It’s slightly unsettling to think why the developers choose those locations and takes me out of fully enjoying the game.

While the graphics are pretty good there are two main issues I have with this game. The first is that the game strategy is too easy. Unlike traditional Minesweeper this version uses just 1's and 2's instead of 1's thru 7's to indicate adjacent mines. Not much thinking required. The second problem is that the controls to select a space are poorly design. You have two options. You either have to constantly toggle back and forth to designate a mine or a clear space before touching the space which slows down the pace of play or you can keep the switch on the clear space choice and touch the space quickly to designate a clear space or touch and hold to designate a mine. The problem is that the game is very sensitive to how long you press the space. If you don't hold it long enough it sets off the mine. If you aren't very careful every time you wind up detonating the mine and have to restart the level. And if you are very deliberate it slows down the game too much.

The game looks and sounds great, and controls work well. But if you grew up playing Minesweeper casually on Windows 3.1 then the levels are just too easy, and the only way to progress to harder levels is gradually by doing many easy levels. I don’t think I have the patience to grind through that far; wish there was a Nineties Kid mode to skip them all and get straight to the hard stuff. Also would like a mode where time matters, like the original.

I’ve noticed on a few occasions that when I’m revealing tiles around a number there more than 1 or 2 or 3 bombs attached to that number resulting in me losing when in fact I was playing correctly. Other than that greatly enjoy this revamp of a classic!

Love the theme, love the aesthetics. But it has one critical flaw that completely negates all challenges. Lets say i opened up a number tile 1. If I put a flag on a wrong spot, tapping on 1 should open everything else up and the game should be over. Instead, if the flag is not correctly put on the mine, tapping on 1 would do nothing, and i can safely relocate my flag. This is a complete failsafe solution to all puzzles and needs to be fixed

I would like it if the screen rotated for iPad

Simple logic puzzles make my head go buzzzzz

You practically can’t lose if you flag and click an open tile number. In the regular minesweeper if you flag a wrong bomb and click a “1” next to the flag it will auto open other tiles even if the tiles have bombs and make you lose. For this game I can guess and flag a wrong bomb, but when I click a “1” next to the flag, it won’t open the tiles.

As someone who grew up in the 90s, I have dozens of hours of minesweeper under my belt. This version feels like the perfect modern version of scratching that itch as a teenager

Minesweeper has always been the best game to pass the time. The update is stylish and I keeps your mind fresh! Nice job, Netflix!
