checking its position to see if it's above/below specific edges of the screen, then warping it to the other edge when necessary.
(And fyi, I did not touch the other 10 bossfight, because I wanted to make 18's 2nd phase feel more special and not like... 18 and 10 at once, even if that's literally what it is)
theres even reasoning behind this, 9 did the goofy fucking "run across the top bar where the smiley conveniently is" TWICE (if we're counting 10's second phase), shocked(?) twice (18's first and second phase), and exploded (transition from 18 to devil's convergence), i think i would be dead if that happened to me and probably same with the smiley unless plot armor is just that good
gotta love how it turns into a guessing game at the 2nd 9th bossfight because we just cant make a game in the big 25 almost 26💘💘 OH BOY, THE 10 IS COMPLETELY SAME SHIT!!
if you're going for a S/M rank then yeah i kinda get it but you still can make mistakes you won't die instantly unless you run out of time/click on the boss with safe spots still unrevealed
I made 2 mistakes first time I beat expert ep.1 normal (both on Dead Sea) and I still got an M rank. Seems like Expert is much more generous in terms of ranking.
my human in Christ there is no 9th boss fight. There's only 9 and 10 and neither turn the game into a guessing game unless you set the mine count really high and enable master mode.
that's kinda what it is, but it's actually going underwater, and when it comes back up, if you move your cursor or click in a notiseable manor.... 18 explodes
So, it's kinda like 9 but with a Red Light, Green Light mechanic
very fun game with amazing soundtrack. Only problem i have is that the game doesnt really save. its getting annoying since i have to play through the whole first episode just to unlock the boss for freeplay.
yeah no, I don’t wanna beat the first episode just to get access to the boss every time I load the game. It gets kinda repetitive. It would be nice if a working save feature was added so I didn’t have to beat the first episode every single time.
It saves for me... maybe try redownloading? The game should automatically make a save file in the same folder the executable file is in. Did you run the executable through the zip file or did you unzip it?
Hi! I made an account just to post a comment on this game because I love it so much. This is easily one of my favorite games of all time right now and I cannot commend you enough for everything about it. The visual style, music, gameplay progression, boss fights, unique map layouts, and everything else about it make this game an absolute delight to play. I love how the first episode's levels have mine marker numbers that increase with the levels (as in each map introduces the player to a new number of mines around a tile), it's such an amazing way to have actual game progression in a game as simple as minesweeper. I love the radar tool so much, I think it's such a good addition to minesweeper as a whole because random chance mines are genuinely unfair! Captain Sweeper is my favorite thing ever he is so cute and wonderful. I would like to take his hand in marriage, but I'm already committed to my partners, and something tells me he's already in a hate-filled marriage with the sea.
Anyways, I just wanted to say all this to really drive home to both the creator and anyone skimming the comments, this game is something absolutely special. 10/10. I cannot wait for more episodes. Is there a Patreon or somewhere like that where we can support you?
I see you take suggestions. Could you add tap to flag and hold to open for mobile? I got used to playing with those controls and keep losing because i keep mixing them up. Overall great game i liked it 👍
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.

Ten is behaving a bit funnily now...
(ignore the bad trim on the phase 2 music, there hasn't been a theme made for 18 yet
Also, I changed the style of the numbers on Ten)
as a person who has no idea how to use scratch: how the fuck did you do screen wrapping
checking its position to see if it's above/below specific edges of the screen, then warping it to the other edge when necessary.
(And fyi, I did not touch the other 10 bossfight, because I wanted to make 18's 2nd phase feel more special and not like... 18 and 10 at once, even if that's literally what it is)
what the shit
I'll probably get working on 19 and its intro when tomorrow
I'm glad nobody notised the starting time of the second Phase
only thing i noticed is that the smiley is fucking dead and 18 killed him
Actually, he's just tired.
(Who wouldn't be tired after dealing with 3 different killer explosives back-to-back?)
it would've been funny if 18's explosion actually just fucking killed him and 19 is like hell or smth
theres even reasoning behind this, 9 did the goofy fucking "run across the top bar where the smiley conveniently is" TWICE (if we're counting 10's second phase), shocked(?) twice (18's first and second phase), and exploded (transition from 18 to devil's convergence), i think i would be dead if that happened to me and probably same with the smiley unless plot armor is just that good
OH NO MY WORST NIGHTMARE
If on linux it shows "Permission denied" here's a guide made by yours truly
https://asciinema.org/a/CetvfffYlkExT2Cn5fHiKBGSU
gotta love how it turns into a guessing game at the 2nd 9th bossfight because we just cant make a game in the big 25 almost 26💘💘 OH BOY, THE 10 IS COMPLETELY SAME SHIT!!
i still stand by this even after defeating it
if you're going for a S/M rank then yeah i kinda get it but you still can make mistakes you won't die instantly unless you run out of time/click on the boss with safe spots still unrevealed
I made 2 mistakes first time I beat expert ep.1 normal (both on Dead Sea) and I still got an M rank. Seems like Expert is much more generous in terms of ranking.
yeah the ranking is more generous on the harder modes
my human in Christ there is no 9th boss fight. There's only 9 and 10 and neither turn the game into a guessing game unless you set the mine count really high and enable master mode.
so its like a plus version of 9
and im guessing 19 is a plus version of 10?
Nineteen will be a fusion of 9 and 10
(Edit: The plus version of 10 would probably be 20)
understandable
but now i wonder how that would work
you have 10 seconds and to refill it you have to do something but you also have to click the boss to verify you uncovered every tile?
Wait, which boss are we talking about?
(Oh, are you talking about 19?)
yeh
It seems like 18 is 9 (What's 9*2?) but it goes invisible, and then after like 9-10 seconds (lol) it appears and you can't click anything I guess.
that's kinda what it is, but it's actually going underwater, and when it comes back up, if you move your cursor or click in a notiseable manor.... 18 explodes
So, it's kinda like 9 but with a Red Light, Green Light mechanic
Oh okay. But then how did you flag before 18 went back underwater?
18 doesn't really care about flags
(here are the specifics of what 18 counts as movement (aka what makes it explode):
1. clearing more than 2 tiles
2. moving your cursor over 12 pixels away
when its timer reaches zero, it'll immediately go into its exploding animation)
WHO KEEPS ON DOWN VOTING THIS WHOLE THREAD.
definitely crossbow12
also i absolutely love that the smiley is more of concerned (imo he looks concerned) than scared
awesomesauce
your pfp makes me hungry
omigosh it's the person who made the first ever 9 boss fight omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh
very fun game with amazing soundtrack. Only problem i have is that the game doesnt really save. its getting annoying since i have to play through the whole first episode just to unlock the boss for freeplay.
Beating the episodes to unlock the bosses in free play is the whole point if you want to play them in FP.
yeah no, I don’t wanna beat the first episode just to get access to the boss every time I load the game. It gets kinda repetitive. It would be nice if a working save feature was added so I didn’t have to beat the first episode every single time.
theres a quicksave feature but if you REALLY dont wanna redo all of episode 1 hold a really evil number for a long time
It saves for me... maybe try redownloading? The game should automatically make a save file in the same folder the executable file is in. Did you run the executable through the zip file or did you unzip it?
Can you please add a flag option for android
There actually is, in the settings page, gameplay menu, you can enable hold to flag if you want to.
Ok thanks
ive only completed the first episode, but OMAGAHHH it's PERFECT!!!!
play episode 2 on novice trust me
Yep, you get another completely normal boss fight with no second phases
this game feels like a perfect example of "if you cant make a game, dont make one"✌️
??????
if you cant make a good complaint, don't post one
Why doesnt it save (Im using the 2.1 version)
*18 didn't like that*
45
45 what?
45 coins, that's the coin counter because I was too lazy to add a coin counter above the radar
is this safe??
yes

I'm not the creator, but in the best of my knowledge, no. Also ep.3 is most likely to be the last episode.
Nooo!!! well... Still excited for the next episode! Wish there'd be more though...!
aww :(
y'know what they say, if something isn't going to be made, you may as well make it yourself
my girlfriend was playing and she was constantly getting impossible mines or somehow she would get -1 mines and couldn't continue after that
was she flagging every tile known to man?
You only get -1 mines if you flagged incorrectly... That's user error, not the game's fault
i have a problem, when i want play the minesweeper, minesweeper displays on my second monitor and i cant change that :'v
cant play on my old pc but can on my phone also are you able to release a IOS version ok bye
There's an Android version.
I see you take suggestions. Could you add tap to flag and hold to open for mobile? I got used to playing with those controls and keep losing because i keep mixing them up. Overall great game i liked it 👍
Well, actually the controls are reversed for mobile. It's hold to flag and tap to open.
Yeah i know. I'm suggesting to have a option to reverse them the same way pc has option switch left click and right click.
This game fucking rules but I'd really appreciate a pause button
you tap the face to pause, not the most intuitive but it's a thing
oh sick thanks
okay, this is just getting ridiculous now
Check my profile again.
If you want me to make 21, just tell me.
oh my lawd
(👏👏👏)
Do you want me to make 21? Just note I won't be back in about 30-45 minutes.
eh, you can if you want to, I don't really mind
okee
I finished 21, check my profile yet again.
Anyway, I'll be gone for 17.5 hours.
umm... (Why is he too sus?)
"There are no laws against the mines..."
yes there is "Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention"
THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!
I know you meant bomboclat
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.
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
I redownloaded the game 2 times already it still doesnt save
Then ask a professional
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)
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.
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
