There's no question about it! Mines in Space is the best minesweeper game in the app store! Mines in Space has 4 different minesweeper games with multiple difficulty levels. It also has a "Final Frontier" mode, multiple backgrounds, ranks, stats, and achievements.
Mines in Space's modes are Classic, Impostor, UFO Finder, and Rocket Shuffle.
Classic mode plays like any normal minesweeper game, except you are timed to complete it. On harder modes, the playing field can get very large, so you have to scroll around a lot.
Impostor mode adds a unique twist to minesweeper. Mines are hiding behind asteroids, but some are impostors instead. You have to find mark which asteroids have impostors hiding behind them before you run out of time.
In UFO Finder mode, you do the exact opposite of classic minesweeper. Instead of avoiding the mines, you are finding the UFOs. You must tap all the spots mines are located before time is up.
The final mode, Rocket Shuffle, gives you a solved minesweeper field that was vertically shuffled. You then must move the columns up and down to fix the puzzle.
Each mode includes an easy, medium, hard, and expert difficulty.
Final Frontier mode is like a story mode with no story. There are 100 levels to complete. The levels increase in difficulty as you progress.
One of my favorite features of Mines in Space is its stat and achievement system. You are ranked based on how many games you have won. You also have an achievement page with 24 achievements. Each row has to do with the progress a different mode. The bottom row has random achievements including "Lose 400 games", "Play for 20 hours total time", "Play each puzzle mode on all difficulties", and "Gain 20000 XP". Each achievement has a name. For example, the achievement "Complete 20 Hard UFO Finder games" is named "Area 51".
The game keeps track of the total games played, total games won, and total time played along with lots of other stats.
Mines In Space contains 6 galaxies (backgrounds), Milky Way, Andromeda, M32, Pegasus, NGC 147, and Ursa Major.
It is obvious this game is the best minesweeper in the store. It is very polished and addictive. My only complaint is that there is no free-play mode; all the modes are timed. At 99 cents, you have no excuse to skip this app.
