Reviews

“It's all cheap and cheerful, especially that midi music, but it's a free Minesweeper variant. I'm quite charmed by it. Feels like a freeware game I might have got off a cover disc with cheery RPS fanzine PC Gamer in the late 90s.”

About This Game

Introduction


MineSweeper Rush is a new 2D casual game that follows classic Minesweeper rules and adds new features for a fast-paced, competitive experience.
The minefield grows upward continuously. When you hit a mine, the game does not end immediately—instead, two new rows are quickly added.
Clearing a row happens when you mark all the mines in it. If there are fewer than four rows, four new rows appear along with bonus points.
As your score increases, the game speeds up. This racing element means every second counts and makes the challenge even tougher.
You can choose from three modes: Easy, Normal, and Hard, or change the board size and the number of mines using shortcut keys.
Your high score is recorded on one of five leaderboards so you can compare your speed and accuracy with other players.

Gameplay


Right-clicking a block puts a question mark on it. A block gets a flag only when it is confirmed to have a mine.
You can mark a block by clicking the number next to it, and the game will automatically place flags based on the situation.
Four different drag modes help you clear mines faster and score more points in less time.
An AI system keeps the game fair. If no safe move exists, clicking a mine will not cause a penalty.

Features


A built-in tutorial shows you how to play quickly, while the help menu provides clear pictures and step-by-step instructions on rules and strategies.
Background music and sound effects build excitement and help you focus during the race.
Six different skins are available to reduce eye strain during long, fast-paced sessions.
The game window can be resized to perfectly match the board size and your screen resolution.
A hidden cheat mode displays solvable blocks and automatically clears mines, making it easier to learn quick strategies.
Various number display styles help you see the game state clearly, so you can plan your moves rapidly.
