About:
A Rogue Twist On A Cult Classic
It’s Minesweeper for the modern era! Infinity Sweeper combines classic strategy and nostalgia with the replayability of modern roguelikes. Carefully navigate the familiar grid, uncovering the numbered tiles while avoiding the destructive mines. Use your logic to uncover patterns in the grid that indicate the placement of safe tiles, and flag mine tiles to avoid wasting one of your three precious lives. Prepare to overcome Infinity Sweeper’s ever-expanding grid, where one wrong move can set you back to the start.
Procedurally-Generated Progression
Procedurally-generated grids create an ever-evolving experience in Infinity Sweeper. After clearing a board, choose from a selection of modifiers and permanent upgrades to benefit your run. Keen eyes will spot individual tile modifiers that may change what appears on the board. There are new traps to uncover, as well, with some altering the board’s format or destroying certain tiles. Encounter a boss battle every four stages, turning the predicted gameplay into a time-sensitive test of strategy.
Create A Custom Toolkit
Clearing a board rewards players with gold, which can be exchanged for upgrades in the game’s shop. Pick from single-use cards with consumable effects or permanent upgrades for long-lasting advantages. As you clear each boss stage, new hazards will be introduced to the grid, requiring players to sharpen their strategy and alter their approach. Detailed stats are provided for players chasing the skill ceiling. With easy-to-learn yet difficult-to-master mechanics, Infinity Sweeper is a treat for retro players and newbies alike.
