Pretty good game! My only issue with it is that there seems to be no system to prevent guessing spots. I know the sonar and lives system counteract that a bit but the issue still exists. If you're unlucky enough, the sonar/lives only delay the inevitable.
I think the way to do it is by storing the board as a list that tells the locations of tiles and whether they're mines, so if you want to know if a tile is a mine, just check of "X/YT" exists, for example. At least that's how I did it, and it worked out well
I'm pretty sure the hardest part is just getting the numbers to be accurate, which I also struggled with for the longest time before switching to lists instead of the "touching" block
Whenever I play the game for a while, it freezes, and I can't click anywhere, although the clock continues to run. I am running it via the Android download on Chrome OS.
Hii guys! So, I have a new idea for a new boss! Here are his stats:
Instead of regular Arabic numerals, I'll use Roman numerals! So, if the game runs out of Arabic numerals at 10, we'll start a new order of numbers, this time using Roman numerals.
The boss will be called "I", or "Roman One". He doesn't do anything in Minesweeper itself, but he does on the screen. Have you seen the "Touhou gameplay" on YouTube? That's exactly how the boss works! He'll throw those dots (like in the video) in different directions, and if we touch them five times, the player dies. At first, he just stands there, but if we've cleared half the area, he'll start moving — not slowly, not quickly, just.. in middle!
I think you all get it. I didn't come up with a design; I'm too lazy.
Thanks for reading this post! Maybe the developer himself will read this post. That would be cool.
the answer depends on the type of clock, digital or analogue
for analogue clocks, their time is indicated by the minute hand (longer hand), hour hand (smallest hand), the numbers (and ticks) on the outer edge of the clock, and sometimes a second hand (typically coloured differently or extremely thin).
the hour is displayed just by the last number that the hour hand touched, seen in the image.
the minute (and by extension, the second, but let's focus on the minute) is displayed with both the hand and some math. The last number the hand touched is multiplied by 5, then focus on the smaller ticks, which act as individual minutes, meaning you can add up the ticks that the hand has passed AFTER the last number it touched.
And then once you have your hours and minutes (and seconds, depending on the clock), you now have your time. The time on the clock is 10:10:35.
for digital clocks... they literally just show the time for you.
I hope this short read helped you understand how to read analogue clocks better:
(I meant this comment as a joke, but I ended up getting invested into writing like this XD)
Hi lamn, you can use my MS+ number assets in my "MS+ True Final Boss Theme" project on Scratch (If you have an account, that is). If you don't know where to find it, go to my creator page and click the Scratch link.
If you know how to look inside other peoples' project's and know how to backpack/export things, you don't need to read the rest of this text.
From there you can scroll down to the "Studios" section and click on "Minesweeper Plus". You'll see 3 projects in there (or 4 depending on when you see this comment). Click "See Inside" and backpack or export the "numbers" sprite (you can backpack the "tile" sprite too, but there's only the ep.1 assets in there), and then upload it to your project. Backpack a sprite by using the backpack thing on the bottom (If you have account), or export by right clicking the sprite and clicking "export". Back in your project, click on the backpack and drag the sprite into your project, or export the sprite by clicking on the "export sprite" button in the bottom right. Also, searching up "minesweeper plus sprite resource" in your browser, and clicking the first link, you can find the Captain Sweeper assets in the first box when you enter the link.
Thank you for your offer, however, I don't really have many plans on using image assets directly from the game (other than the 9 and 10 numbers and using the numbers to make "18") because I find it funner to remake and draw assets from the game myself. Thanks for the offer, though.
This game has been a really cool surprise! Very fun, very cool twists, excellent work! I also like the sailing theming here as well, I always figured these were landmines, but water mines does make a lot more sense.
Also, quick question, what's the max rank you can get on Adventure Mode?
I saw your stream about sweeping mines...... plus. I'm currently trying to get M on expert and master mode (ep.1). Some other MS+ content creator got M rank on both episodes, normal and master mode (except master mode ep. 2 expert).
no, M is the max you can get, it just takes more effort than S, think of it like a P rank if you've played pizza tower, gotta do it fast and dont get hit
Uhh when I press the download button for Android, it won't work, I accidentally pressed the one beneath it before but I deleted that file, now it won't let me press the Android one
Hi Jorel, I have found a bug in the 2.1 version. When 9 joins the fight with 10 on any difficulty (I assume, I was only playing on veteran), when you click on a mine, you can't click on any other tile, or even 9. You can only click on 10.
Also are there going to be any other bosses after 11? I saw people memeing about it on one of your YouTube posts.
Amazing gameplay and soundtrack, but there's two little issues in my opinion: First, it seems there's a bug that causes a game over screen when tabbing out after clicking continue from beating the 10 boss fight (I'm playing on Windows 10 btw) and it also seems the 10 boss fight is much too easier than the 9.
It'd be nice if there was a switch that allows you to go from selecting to flag instead of holding on mobile, like in this other random minesweeper game
It would be awesome if there was some Speedrun timer for the adventure mode (it should probably only show the time you spend solving the boards and not any cutscenes/menus)
WRT new update (specifically adventure mode): I think the problem with existing difficulties is that they punish noobs by depriving them of resources (health, minecoins, etc.), but if you're a really good player you'll accumulate an excess of resources with nothing to do with them. So the people who need them least are getting them the most and vice versa.
Casual mode seems to mitigate that by just removing the penalty for dying outright but that feels hacky. If you want to keep the arcadey feel of restarting the entire episode when you die then maybe checkpoints at certain milestones could work?
HELL NO, Do you know how many deaths stages 7 & 8 cause me in episodes 1 and 2? I prefer that casual mode stays as it is because I don't intend to repeat the entire episode from the start; it's hell.
Another thing: I had defeated 9 in episode 2 and pressed save and exit, but instead of saving my progress after I defeated 9, THERE WAS NOTHING. It was a nightmare...
i Really like the bosses but the campaign gets boring fast and the fact that my save data corrupted so i have to restart made everything worse so thats why i really would want a full unlock button
open the save file with notepad and copy all the text and paste it to the other save file (which might appear if you start an adventure on the new game)

This game is safe? Cuz i opened it and windows defender said its not safe.
Yes, it is. It says that on every Windows computer before starting the app for the first time.
Ok.
omg its henry
HOLY SHIT IS THAT HENRY STICKMIN FROM HIT SERIES HENRY STICKMIN
No.
ight mb
awww man :(
When do you want to start the collab? (Anytime you want to)
How do i save my game man everytime i wanna go to episode 2 i need to finish episode 1 everytime i get back to the game
redownload the game atp and see if that fixes it, if not ask Jorel personally on Discord
This guy does indeed have cool hat
the coolest of hats
the coolest of the coolest hats
ooo massive upate for my fangameee
I wanna play it so. darn. bad. No like actually. I've been a scratcher for more than 1.5 yrs and I still don't know how to make Minesweeper lol.
I think the way to do it is by storing the board as a list that tells the locations of tiles and whether they're mines, so if you want to know if a tile is a mine, just check of "X/YT" exists, for example. At least that's how I did it, and it worked out well
I'm pretty sure the hardest part is just getting the numbers to be accurate, which I also struggled with for the longest time before switching to lists instead of the "touching" block
Did you see the 12 13 14 15 16 and 17 I made yet?
where are they?
Edit: I found them, and I think they're cool
Thanks! I'll be waiting on 11 for the official version, and also you can use them in your game without my credit.
Note: I won't be back in 11 hours.
Whenever I play the game for a while, it freezes, and I can't click anywhere, although the clock continues to run. I am running it via the Android download on Chrome OS.
Just wondering if you’d ever consider making a version that works on IOS/for the AppStore. Amazing gameplay! :)
So sad that only after like, 100 tries It gives one coin lol
I'm not sure what's more insane:
The fact that it only gives one coin, or the fact that you had the determination to give it 100 tries
Well it didn't take exactly 100, I didn't count though I probably should again lol
Will this game’s executable ever get signed? Windows Defender SmartScreen keeps yelling at me whenever I try to open it.
I just turned it into a taskbar shortcut
yeah but a lot of ppl probably will never play because they think it’s malware
It's not. But the message only appears before the first time you run the game (I think).
Hii guys! So, I have a new idea for a new boss! Here are his stats:

Thanks for reading this post! Maybe the developer himself will read this post. That would be cool.
can confirm that roman numerals would be cool and also annoying as heck 👍
fr
would've been cool if he also made the numbers on the squares also roman numerals :(
I'd kill for a version of Nine where tiles are roman numerals (not saying your idea is similar to Nine)... but I can just code that right now
i disagree with this
this is a REALLY GREAT IDEA
nah i will say this roman numerals are annoying as heck HOW DO YOU TELL THE TIME IF THERE ON A CLOCK AWSER YOU CAN'T
im saying about number on the boss, not ALL numbers on this game
the answer depends on the type of clock, digital or analogue

(I meant this comment as a joke, but I ended up getting invested into writing like this XD)
no
im in desperate need of a settings menu, the music blasts my ears out (the game is fire tho)
technically the game already has one, but the issue is that it's only accessible from the main menu
(why?...)
oh i never noticed it before, i might just be blind lol
because youre supposed to focus on the Mines, not the Menu.
the menu has mines tho
(the transition from the main menu to the game-mode select is literally a mine exploding.
but I get what you mean)
Is there anyway you'll be able to make a version for ChromeOS? I've been looking forward to playing but that is all I have atm...
i don't think many Itch.io games support ChOS anyways
I know, there is no option for chromeOS, only "play in browser"...💔
I wish I could play this but I cant get Linux for my Chromebook 💔
minesweeper on a laptop
i want that yellow thing
what yellow thing, there are many yellow things in this game
Well, there's Nine, the ToXiC wAsTe from 10's decoration, and Captain Sweeper (smiley).
i like calling smiley sweepy
I just call him 'Smiley'
Captain Sweeper
When the custom background and and music will be added?
4/1/2026
HAHA! APRIL FOO- GET OUT
add a non-steam game my beloved
I saved and quit 9 in episode 2 and nothing bad happened :D
for me i lost my quicksave
oof
What computer are you using? (Windows10, Windows11, etc.)
Since it only works on Windows11 and maybe some Windows10 computers.
im using windows 11
Well, I can't help you with that., since this game is mainly supposed to run on Windows11. (I'm very sorry)
I don’t see it on Steam..??? Where did you get that image?
i added it as a non-steam game, you can do this by going in your library and clicking "add a game" and then "add a non-steam game"
oh cool, didn’t know that was a thing
minesweeper plus fangame I'm working on
(started with coding 10 because it's my favourite boss =w= )
(I'll post updates about it under this comment btw, unless I find a better place)

Lamn, thank you for reading the paragraph.
Sincerely, TheFinalBossGuy (minesweeperplus)
Thank you for your offer, however, I don't really have many plans on using image assets directly from the game (other than the 9 and 10 numbers and using the numbers to make "18") because I find it funner to remake and draw assets from the game myself. Thanks for the offer, though.
Your welcome! Also, do you have a Scratch account? I've been wondering for a while.
Yeah, it's KitKat_ytRBLX
I can’t find your Scratch account… (don’t need it for anything in particular, just curious)
KitKat_ytRBLX on Scratch
I was replying to minesweeperplus sorry
oh mb
Just go to my profile, and you should be able to find a link that leads you to Scratch.
I made the UI and clear screen, time to work on the sonar (and maybe centre the clear message?)
don't be fooled, SONAR doesn't work right now, I need to code it :(
I really wonder who it is that I coded ;)
Guys, my game little lagging, i using windows 7 x64 and i have 15fps or something
it's time for a new PC
and a new OS
(I just found out how old windows 7 is, it's older than me)
:(
i have macbook air but i didn't tried to run it if you wanna know
Yo its running ultra fast i like it
dang, fps?
Yeah
you still use 7????? doesn’t that OS have like 9 bajillion known critical exploits?
ikr, that [NONO] older than my existence
the 1 above and to the left of the red tile were 2's
I was brought here by the (surprising) amount of Bara/Yaoi art of this game
ALSO IM YOINKING THAT IMAGE
WHATTTTTT
hes so cute im gonna explode him
in what way
Probably using 9 and 10 lol. (but don't)
is there a way to change the look of the game and the tiles? i dont like the blue tiles, i think they're hard to look at
there are multiple themes for the game, seen in different levels and in free play mode
they're probably talking about adventure or something
do you know how to change them? i only really play freeplay mainly so
there is a theme option in the free play setup screen, just click one of the tiles to switch the them
Check this out, Jorel, 9 Modern Version
also 9
Check my profile. I humanized 9 AND 10, and put the actual bomb beside them. (It took me way too long lol, especially 9)
Also, am I the first one who made 9 with 9 spikes?
I can't post links or images in my comments for some reason.
Oh hey I found you on Scratch
(all I had to do was search minesweeper plus lol)
Does there happen to be a discord server for this game?
Yes. (I'm not in it though)
This game has been a really cool surprise! Very fun, very cool twists, excellent work! I also like the sailing theming here as well, I always figured these were landmines, but water mines does make a lot more sense.
Also, quick question, what's the max rank you can get on Adventure Mode?
losers say it's S
winners say it's M
(winners are correct)
I saw your stream about sweeping mines...... plus. I'm currently trying to get M on expert and master mode (ep.1). Some other MS+ content creator got M rank on both episodes, normal and master mode (except master mode ep. 2 expert).
...so it's S unless you're playing on Master Mode, in which case it's M? What's uh, what's the catch here?
no, M is the max you can get, it just takes more effort than S, think of it like a P rank if you've played pizza tower, gotta do it fast and dont get hit
Ahhh, gotcha
ion even play Adventure Mode
its concerning just a mere emoji can make me start acting unprincipled; uncontrollably devious even
our images perfectly complement each other
Uhh when I press the download button for Android, it won't work, I accidentally pressed the one beneath it before but I deleted that file, now it won't let me press the Android one
I think you gotta click the mac download button instead of the android one, the links are swapped 💔
wow
Hi Jorel, I have found a bug in the 2.1 version. When 9 joins the fight with 10 on any difficulty (I assume, I was only playing on veteran), when you click on a mine, you can't click on any other tile, or even 9. You can only click on 10.
Also are there going to be any other bosses after 11? I saw people memeing about it on one of your YouTube posts.
Other than that, LOVE YOUR GAME!!! :)
minesweeperplus plays Minesweeper Plus
I wanted to show you my Scratch studio where I post audio from the actual game, but I can't fsr
uhm what does 'fsr' mean?
for some reason
oh, I thought it stood for 'for safety reasons' lol
Amazing gameplay and soundtrack, but there's two little issues in my opinion: First, it seems there's a bug that causes a game over screen when tabbing out after clicking continue from beating the 10 boss fight (I'm playing on Windows 10 btw) and it also seems the 10 boss fight is much too easier than the 9.
I'll see if I can recreate the tab-out bug later and attach a video
did you recreate it?
It'd be nice if there was a switch that allows you to go from selecting to flag instead of holding on mobile, like in this other random minesweeper game
I have a hard time telling if that arrow is edited in
Oh yeah it's edited in lmao
I wish there was something I could do with my surplus of coins :(
the most I can do rn is free play 10 and spam sonar whenever I get lazy
buy the totally real and not fake deltahat
I hope the next update (I hope this game is getting updated) will have more things to waste my coins on
It would be awesome if there was some Speedrun timer for the adventure mode (it should probably only show the time you spend solving the boards and not any cutscenes/menus)
Oh and maybe more decorations? Cause seeing the same decoration spammed looks weird, some variation would be nice.
I can now practise A MORE ACCURATE VERSION phase 2 of ten:
(9 was fun to code)
WRT new update (specifically adventure mode): I think the problem with existing difficulties is that they punish noobs by depriving them of resources (health, minecoins, etc.), but if you're a really good player you'll accumulate an excess of resources with nothing to do with them. So the people who need them least are getting them the most and vice versa.

Another thing: I had defeated 9 in episode 2 and pressed save and exit, but instead of saving my progress after I defeated 9, THERE WAS NOTHING. It was a nightmare...
can you unlock bosses in free play by beating them in casual mode?
Yes.
By the way, pretty cool scratch game you're making.
Thanks :D
time to use my newfound skill in making minesweeper in Scratch to make a boss concept I've had for a while
istg if you're making 12 or smth i will scream (also im bad at scratch so congrat)
nope, I'm gonna make 18
I can now practise phase 2 of ten:
by the way, the board is smaller during phase 2 instead of being the same size, so if you can you should make it that way
oh yeah I already did that, but it was mainly just because it was too hard for me to handle at the previous size ;~;
Make this game public in scratch
I mean it's pretty neat how you translated it into scratch, but to practice, why not just use the freeplay mode?
because I haven't unlocked it in free play
I have unlocked it in free play
ALSO PLEASE ADD A FULL UNLOCK AND LEVEL REPLAY TO ALL BOSS LEVELS since this was very frustrating and made me demotivated to redo everything
this happened when i left the game and came back
also episode F does not load
Edit: im in the blood dimension (and really annoyed that i have to redo everything)
im trying to resurrect my save file with black magic now by combinining new and old safe files
update: got my times back but still can't access episode 2 (i just wanted to fight 10)
also a full unlock sounds really nice, unlocking all the boss challenges without having to play the bosses themselves sounds like a dream
i Really like the bosses but the campaign gets boring fast and the fact that my save data corrupted so i have to restart made everything worse so thats why i really would want a full unlock button
hold 9 in the map during adventure
What operating system are you using? (Windows10, Windows11, etc.) Because this game only works on Windows11 and maybe some Windows10 computers.
how to transfer my save data to the new version of the game
are you telling me that when the next update comes out my save data will be gone
open the save file with notepad and copy all the text and paste it to the other save file (which might appear if you start an adventure on the new game)
phew
thank you jorel for removing the scam links when they appear (idk if you are or not but if you are thank you)
More update on my practice even though I beat 10 now:
you forgot phase 2 after u beat 10
I really don't want to code 9, how am I even gonna code the ring of mines around it
(I can always try though >:3
Edit: Yes, I'm going to try adding 9 now, I need all the luck I can get)
I didn't need any luck, it wasn't as hard as I expected
okay I made it now
someone help I can't download it on android!!
Does it show any errors or just fails with no message?
I’m the real bob out there
which is the real bob
(I love these images)
i have the whole spritesheet (from spriters resource but like still) of that guy
oooo
