Battleship Minesweeper

Why It’s Listed

Battleship Minesweeper is a Puzzle game in this collection, listed because it opens in a tab and starts. Its subject is mines, and the page does not pretend otherwise. Its own description is 24 words — a caption more than a manual — so treat the loop as something to discover rather than read about. Its 14,265 plays have produced 4.0 out of 5, below the 4.2 the library averages.

How to Play

• The listing never says how you play it, which is why the first thirty seconds inside the frame matter more than anything written here.
• At 320×480 the whole playfield fits the width of a phone screen, so nothing has to be scrolled.
• Reloading loses everything: there is no save state here, and the game does not keep one for you.

Editor’s Note

Kept because it still runs cleanly on a phone, which is a lower bar than it sounds. If this is not the one, the sidebar offers Pop-Pop Kitties, Halloween Hidden Object, MonsterJong.
