Our take on Minesweeper Extended
Instead of keeping Minesweeper on one familiar flat grid, the game changes the board through hexagonal and three-dimensional modes. Endless mode also replaces a single fixed challenge with a run that grows harder from game to game.
What is Minesweeper Extended?
Minesweeper Extended brings several versions of Minesweeper together.
Classic mode uses the original rules and style. Hex mode changes the board to a hexagonal grid, while 3D mode presents the puzzle from a new perspective. Endless mode continues until the player loses or reaches the end, with each game becoming more difficult than the previous one. The game combines the familiar original format with alternate layouts and an escalating challenge.
