MineMaster is a free software that mimics MS Minesweeper but with added features such as a larger playing field, wall options and customizable skins for cells and digits. Although bombs never explode, a shield is lost with every incorrect move.
Another impressive feature of MineMaster is that it allows you to place random walls on the playground for added challenge and excitement. The walls never contain a mine and can not be opened by clicking. Additionally, players can choose to display surrounding walls around the playfield or internal walls that can be opened to make the game easier. However, adding internal walls without opening them will make the game more difficult as the information on adjacent bombs is hidden for those cells.
Shields are another handy feature included in MineMaster that assures that bomb explosions are never harmful. When a player opens a cell that contains a bomb, they will only lose a shield. So, even if you make a silly mistake, you can still continue the game even though you won't break any records. Once the player is out of shields, they cannot continue play, and the game is lost. A new game will always start with at least one shield. Players can also choose any fixed number of shields or select them as a percentage of bombs on the gamefield.
Overall, MineMaster is a great Minesweeper clone that comes equipped with some nice extra features that make it more engaging and enjoyable to play. With endless hours of gameplay, customizable skins, and added challenges, MineMaster is a must-try for Minesweeper fans. So, download and start playing to explore all these great features.
