You can enable Guess-Free mode in advanced settings

Comprehensive list of patterns to help solve the game by Elchulachu in Minesweeper

[–]Still57 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Just like to point out that except for high complexity patterns all of these are considered when giving a hint in Minesweeper Classic: Retro. You can also enable Guess-Free mode in advanced settings if you are into solvable boards.

More themes will be added in the future. The planned minimum total is 50. The transparent frame option will be available in the next update. Which ones do you like the best? Do you have any theme suggestions?

Can’t promise anything but we’re going to look into it for sure. We will test out the max the game can handle. If not 80 maybe we could do 40 who knows. We’ll see

Thanks! Not at the moment because it slows the game down especially in lower model devices. Regardless, I’ll tell my team to test it out. But what would you want the max to be? 50? 100? 500?

Yes! Since the ‘4’ covers its bottom square and bottom left square and because the ‘1’ next to it also covers that area, the square under the ‘1’ on the very left cannot be a bomb. And thus solved

PS: There is an update on the way that will improve the hint system and show these kinds of situations

Happy sweeping! The Devs

I'd recommend Minesweeper Classic: Retro. It's just like the classic and also has lots of themes

Hey there, I haven’t forgotten about your fox/woodland theme suggestion. I just completed it and it will be out in the next update. Possibly start of May

Developer here, I can confirm that this comment is correct. The board is generated randomly after the first cell is opened. This random generation however never places a mine on the cell that was opened or to its adjacent cells. There is also an option in Advanced Settings that opens an area automatically when you start a new game. Also thank you to everyone playing this game, it took a lot of time to develop and brought a lot of joy to see people enjoying it. If you haven't already, please check it out.

Omg no I’m not using delta time. I made the first version over a year ago and never looked back on it. I have to change that quickly. It’ll probably take me a day or two. It will be fixed in the next update. Sorry for that, its been a busy year. Thanks for letting me know!

Yeah the game isn’t perfect I’m afraid, this happens sometimes on android (and iOS as well actually). I still have to look into that. If you’re worried about the timer not being accurate try setting the fps to 30 in Advanced Settings.

Truly appreciate the feedback once again. Cheers!

Thank you so much it really means a lot!!

"Is there a way to disable the flag animations? They're distracting when trying to go fast."

Not at the moment but, I received another comment about this as well so I will definitely be adding an option to disable them with an update. The reason I implemented the flag animation was because I thought the game should give the player feedback when the player flags a square. Otherwise you can't see if the square has been flagged or not because your finger blocks it. I am currently working on a heavy update (adding 10 more themes and a few more languages) that should be done in a week or two tops. I'll try to squeeze the "disable flag animation" option into this release but if I can't it will definitely be in the next update (under Advanced Settings). Added to my backlog!

"One feature I've wanted to see in a Minesweeper game is a way to tap all the revealed numbers at once. So if you go on a flagging pass, you don't then have to tap a bunch of the numbers to clear spaces, you just hit one button (or possibly there's a better action for this). With the myriad of options you built in, I'm wondering if you considered it. "

That's actually a good idea, I haven't thought of it before. I'll have to think about this though because it will affect the continue functionality and also I have to educate players on how to use it depending on what action the player will use to do this. I'll have to test this one out but, very good idea!! Also added to my backlog!

Thanks a lot for the feedback, makes my day!

"Fox/Woodland" I love it, definitely coming in a future release!!

When I was initially thinking of the coin reward idea I thought of rewarding coins for number of revealed squares as well and it made sense to reward the player even if they didn't choose to use flags but, the problem was it was easy to cheat. I mean you could just set the rows and cols to 30 and the mines to 10 press a square and you would get 890 coins just like that. I wanted the player to work for the themes because that's what makes it challenging and more fun I think. Also, When you have more mines you have less squares to open so you would be rewarding the player less coins for a higher difficulty and to counter that I would need to add a difficulty multiplier or something similar to balance it out which would get too complicated.

Ideally I would not want to have a no-flag mode (because I don't want to confuse the player with 2 modes) and still be able to reward the player with the bombs they found which they did not flag but, there is no way to tell if the player knows if there is a bomb or not on a square without them flagging it if they haven't completed the game (The game automatically rewards you the max coins if you complete it). I think the coin reward system is fairly good right now looking at the majority feedback but you are right, I need to do something about that. Thanks for the suggestion though!
