Minesweeper Tetris is a new 2D casual game that combines the best elements of two classic games, Minesweeper and Tetris. The minefield constantly grows upward, and row is cleared when player finds all mines in it.
The game combines the logic-based mechanics of Minesweeper with the fast-paced, score-chasing elements of Tetris, creating an engaging and challenging gameplay loop. Players must use deductive reasoning to identify and mark all the mines on the game board, while also dealing with a constantly growing minefield.
Unlike traditional Minesweeper, the minefield in this game constantly grows upwards, adding a sense of urgency and unpredictability. As the board expands, players must race against the clock to clear rows before the game becomes unmanageable.
Clearing a full row of mines immediately eliminates that row, providing a satisfying feeling of progress. When the game board is reduced to fewer than four rows, a "Tetris" event is triggered, where four new rows are added, accompanied by a substantial score bonus.
The game features straightforward controls, with right-clicks used to mark potential mines and left-clicks to uncover squares. Various "drag modes" streamline the minesweeping process and increase the pace of gameplay. The in-game tutorial and comprehensive help menu ensure that players of all skill levels can quickly grasp the game's mechanics.
Players can customize the size of the game board and the number of mines, allowing them to tailor the difficulty to their preferences. The game also offers five separate leaderboards, encouraging repeated playthroughs and a sense of progression as players strive to improve their scores and compete against others.
Reviewers have praised the unique fusion of Minesweeper and Tetris, highlighting the game's fast-paced, high-stakes gameplay and the satisfying feedback loop of clearing rows and achieving high scores. Many have also commended the game's accessibility, visual aesthetics, and sound design, contributing to an overall enjoyable and polished experience.
