I'm want to share my clone of the classic Minesweeper game for mobile platforms.

Minesweeper Go as opposed to classic version adds a lot of features oriented for advanced players. 

Beta version of the game released on Android play market, installation link can be found on facebook.com/minesweepergo just tap Play Game button

Here is a small list of key features:

  • Game playback
    Each game is recorded and you can playback it any time you want.

  • Advanced chording
    Chord can be applied recursively so players can achieve fastest board solving times.

  • Personal comprehensive score board with various benchmarks.

  • Advanced benchmarks.
    Minesweeper Go calculates players 3BV/s values, Taps count, Taps/s, RQP, IOS, IOE and some other stats that are valuable for advanced players.

  • Explicit Non-Flagging (NF) mode.
    Game is made with No-Flaggers in mind

  • 3BV control feature
    You can generate a custom minefield with predefined 3BV value.

  • Online World Ranking table 
    All players can participate in World Ranking. Each player records can be viewed (and replayed) by other players to make sure of theirs authenticity.

  • Cheats.
    Undo on fail, etc.

Some of other features are in progress and will be implemented soon. Notable ones are here:
- Tournament mode
- Themes
- Board save/restore
- Playback speed tuning and rewinding options

Thanks.

Minesweeper GO update (v1.0.34) is ready!

While playing minesweeper sometimes you'll get to that point that you can't move forward by using logic so you'll have to pick squares randomly.
This update brings some unique features that will help you resolve or completely avoid such annoying situations.

Changelog:

  • Magic Wand of Luck. Depending on the state of target square after magic wand is charged appropriate action will be applied: flag will be set if there is a mine or square will be uncovered if it is safe.
    This is powerful tool so to keep balance you no longer have any excuse to make a mistake. You will lose instantly if try to use magic wand while any logical solutions exist.
  • Guess Free mode. In this mode logical solution is guaranteed for any minefield. You can turn on guess free boards in game settings.
  • Smart Hints. Smart hint shows you tile configurations with safe squares that can be uncovered given the current state of the board. They not only indicate safe squares but also explain why they are safe.
    The mechanism of generating hints doesn't have access to yet uncovered squares. It only knows as much as a player knows.
  • A lot of improvements and bug fixes

Get update on Google Play

I'll appreciate any feedback and advice how game can be improved.
Thanks
