Due to the protests of some groups, at some point, the mines were replaced by flowers that's why it changed its name to Flower Field.Īs with many brilliant games, the rules are simple, but playing MineSweeper is not so simple.

#RETRO MINESWEEPER FOR FREE#

The game we all know today was written by Robert Donner and Curt Johnson and was included for free in Windows 3.1 in 1990. When I play I typically tap the numbers more often than I tap clear spaces, so I wish I could try out an 'inverted' control mode where a short tap was a flag and a bit longer would clear a single space.MineSweeper (also known as Flower Field) is one of the most popular video games ever created. I have one complaint, and it isn't even that much of a problem. With how much I play I earn coins at a very fair rate, and as long as I play well I only have to click out of a short ad every 5 or so minutes, which is very reasonable! The themes are above and beyond, dark mode minesweeper is probably my favorite thing that I never knew I needed. This game is completely different, it's blatantly apparent that real effort and heart was put into making the game as flawless as possible. This should 100% be the first result on the app store, the ones listed above it are basically what I expect: heartless reproductions of minesweeper with little effort just to get ad revenue.
