About MINES*
Minesweeper. But you’re standing on it.
MINES* takes the classic you know by heart and puts you on the board. Every tile is real ground, every number is a warning, and every mistake has a blast radius. Walk the field, read the clues, flag the danger, and clear the board without becoming part of the scenery.
Poke it with a stick
Your trusty stick is your main tool. Probe the tile in front of you to reveal what’s underneath, plant flags where you’re sure (or fairly sure) a mine is waiting, and go slowly through the parts that feel wrong.
Throw stuff at the problem
Not feeling brave? Pick up whatever’s lying around and lob it. Thrown props set off mines from a safe distance. That clears a path, though it’s not always the path you wanted.
Better with friends, worse for friendships
Team up with up to 4 friends in online co-op. Split up the board, ping suspicious tiles, argue about the numbers, and watch your teammate confidently step on the one tile everyone told them not to. You can also bonk them with your stick. For coordination purposes.
A world that fights back
The campaign takes you through biomes that each bend the rules. Tides roll in and change the ground under your feet, rocks fall from the sky, and every new area gives you a new way to get launched across the map.
Come back every day
- Campaign: progress through five biomes with a steadily climbing difficulty.
- Daily Field: a new board every day. Same field for everyone, compare your runs on the leaderboards. But you only get one shot.
- Achievements and unlocks: earn new sticks and wardrobe items so you can look good while making bad decisions.
FEATURES
- Play Minesweeper in first or third person with real logic and real consequences
- Solo or online co-op for 1-5 players
- Probe, flag, ping, throw, and occasionally bonk
- Biomes with their own hazards and twists
- Daily Field challenge with leaderboards
