Minesweeper Plus Version 2.1

Minesweeper Plus
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

Hello, everyone. I hope everybody had a Happy Halloween. I'm glad I could get this update out before October was over. This is the devlog for Version 2.1 of Minesweeper Plus. Let's go over all the changes/improvements/bug-fixes.

Minor changes:

  • The Episode 2 Stage 4 grids have been modified to make unclickable tiles more distinguishable from non-clickable tiles.
  • Certain Episode 2 stages have been modified to reduce the likelihood of 50/50s.
  • The rate at which the Episode 2 boss speeds up has been reduced across all difficulties.
  • The use of the sonar is now permitted on the Episode 2 boss.
  • Phase 2 of the Episode 2 boss fight now guarantees a safe first click.
  • The sonar now automatically opens a tile or flags it depending on what is underneath it (Auto-Sonar can be turned off in settings.)
  • You can also activate and deactivate the sonar by clicking 'Z' on your keyboard.

Major changes:

New Casual mode for Minesweeper Adventure: Want to go on a minesweeping adventure with minimal amounts of stress? Turn on Casual mode for an easygoing experience.

New Boss Pursuit mode for Minesweeper Adventure: Are you a hardcore Minesweeper that wants even MORE of a challenge? Turn on Boss Pursuit mode for a brutal experience.

Added language support for Spanish: Big thanks to AlexSC and Chinobix for helping with the translations. You can turn on Spanish from the settings menu under the "Language" options.

For Android users, added touchscreen buttons that zoom in and out and pan around the screen: It's not the most glamorous solution, but it's good enough for now, and it should only be temporary while I find a better way to implement. The zoom and pan buttons will appear on larger boards that you can zoom in on.

Bug fixes: 

  • Fixed a bug where some music tracks were unaffected by Master Volume and Music Volume.
  • Fixed a bug where the playtime didn't reset when resetting a game in Free Play.
  • Fixed a bug where a '2' didn't always appear on stage 2.
  • Fixed a bug where bosses appeared on normal stages if you turned them on for Free Play then started an adventure (this is now Boss Pursuit mode).
  • Fixed a bug where the game could freeze sometimes during the Episode 2 boss fight.
  • Other small bugs that aren't worth mentioning.

Thank you for all your support and thank you for all pointing out all the mistakes in the game (it helps me make the game even better). I'll begin production on Episode 3 very soon. I want to try and complete it before the end of the year. That's all for now. Enjoy your November.
