Minesweeper by Alcamasoft

Minesweeper by Alcamasoft is an Android port that upholds all the original retro Windows 3.1 charm of the old-school title while combining the finest in touchscreen technology. This time around, just like back in the day, you pick out how big you want your minesweeper grid to be, as well as the number of mines buried within in. You can even set it up to customize your grid.

Gameplay in Minesweeper by Alcamasoft are identical to the original. Your aim is to find all the mines scattered around the board -- without setting them off. If you tap on a cell hiding a mine, well, it's game over. But, if you manage to tap a cell and a number is uncovered from underneath, you'll get a hint to help you know the exact number of mines hidden around that cell.

Just like in classic minesweeper, Minesweeper by Alcamasoft puts your skills to the test, competing to beat your own score by adding in a time crunch to the mix. The faster you deactivate all the mines in the grid, the higher your score. Plus, this mode adds in a new twist. Rather than relying on luck to win, you'll have to use your wits and reasoning skills in order to up your score.

Minesweeper by Alcamasoft is an excellent adaptation of the real Minesweeper game popularized back in the 90s in the days of Windows 3.1. Its graphics and relaxing gameplay are a trip down memory lane for some, and just another fun game for others. Regardless, sit back and unwind with this classic retro game now on your Android smartphone.
