Show HN: Minecrack – A simple, offline Minesweeper game for Android

2•vocenellanotte•2h ago
Hi HN,

I'm a solo indie developer and I built Minecrack, a lightweight Minesweeper-style puzzle game for Android.

Classic gameplay Multiple difficulty levels Works offline No login, no ads (just a clean experience)

The goal was to keep it simple, fast, and familiar — something to play quickly without distractions. I’d love feedback from anyone who’s a fan of logic games, UI minimalism, or retro-style mobile games.

Play Store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vdm.minecr...

Thanks in advance for checking it out!

A couple suggestions/requests:

Ability to tap numbers after flagging all the surrounding mines to reveal the safe adjacent tiles.

Tap to reveal, long tap to flag. It's kinda awkward having to switch to "flag mode".

vocenellanotte•1h ago
Thanks a lot for the great suggestions! I agree — both are solid ideas. The tap-on-number-to-reveal-safe-tiles feature is on my list for a future update, and I’ll look into switching to tap-to-reveal / long-press-to-flag for smoother gameplay. Appreciate the feedback!
