Tetrisweeper
Can't decide whether to play Minesweeper or Tetris? Why not play both?
Tetrisweeper is an addictive and mind-bending fusion of two classic puzzle games, offering a refreshing twist that challenges your strategic thinking and reflexes in a seamless blend of block stacking and mine sweeping.
How to Play
You may be wondering how this horrifying amalgamation could possibly work, but it’s actually very simple! Tetrominos, which are geometric shapes made of four tiles, drop one-by-one from the top of the board. Each of these tiles acts like a Minesweeper square, with hidden mines you’ll have to locate. Completely fill a row and correctly flag or reveal each tile to clear it! Let the tower reach the top or click on a mine, and that's game over.
What looks like an impossible challenge is actually a surprisingly intuitive mash-up like nothing you've ever played before! Well... maybe a little bit like something you've played before.
Evolving Minesweeper
Solve a dynamic Minesweeper puzzle that grows and changes as you play! The fun never ends as you build your own Minesweeper board with strategically placed tetrominos. With quick thinking and careful planning, you can build the board so that you’ll never be forced into a random guess again! If you’re finding it hard to keep pace with the falling blocks, skilled block-placement can summon cleansed and mine-free tetrominos to help you catch up.

Types of Lines and How to Get Them
- Line Filled is when you fill a line with tiles, just like in normal Tetris
- Tetris is when you fill four lines at once
- T-Spin is when you fill a line by twisting a T tetromino into a tight space
- Line Cleared is when you solve the minesweeper puzzle on a filled line, and cause it to be removed
- Linesweep is when you clear a line that you just filled, before the next tetromino locks into place
- Tetrisweep is when you clear all 4 lines in a 4-line tetris you just filled, before the next tetromino locks into place
- T-Spinsweep is when you score a T-spin and clear every line that the T tetromino filled, before the next tetromino locks into place
- Perfect Clear is when you clear the whole playfield without leaving any tiles behind.

Fine!
Thanks, I hate it 🤣 Honestly, though - this is kinda ingenious.
Love the game
81 Lines, we gettin there
Love playing this to Queen of the Night opera
I love this game.
I really love this game, it has an addictive charm to it.I just cant stop.Looking forward to purchasing it on Steam.
I love this game so much I've gotten way better at tetris and minesweeper is coming in clutch (duh)
However I've noticed some of the bombs hit boxes seem to be huge?? I click on a box next to another box that has a bomb and get blown up anyway. Maybe I just suck at aiming my mouse though so idk!
Great game :]
This game is so funny!
I cannot stop playing, its massively improving my minesweeper skills though.
I got 17 minutes
T-spin T-spin T-spin...
Huge PB 7M reached(+2.8M)

Total insanity
A brilliant idea!!! Very addictive, funny and well designed. Congrats
:0
I'm gonna try this game but I doubt I have the IQ to even make one line.
Wow, really creative work, congrats!
lets go
This game was released a year ago and I only discovered it now ?!
Let's post a comment to push it into the spotlight !
50/50s are doom
unless you use a cleansed block
This game is going to become a vice, and I love it.
I'll try to climb a little higher in the leaderboard.
i dont understand how do you know were the mines are and how do you make lines and how do you get the flag thingy
each number indicates how many mines are adjacent to that number the flag is gotten by right clicking you place a flag where a mine is and left click if a mine isn't there you can only know for sure where a mine is by using the number you already have uncovered for instance if a 1 is only touching one covered block that block 100% has a mine on it but if it's touching 3 2 of those blocks don't have a mine on it.
this is very cool indeed
You should fix double drop
Good job man, thanks
this is awesome
I will eat this with my "mouth"
neat concept
Congrats on being the second most popular minesweeper as of this post time!
As someone who plays Minesweeper and VS Tetris, this game is way too addicting. Would love for there to be a vs version of this someday, but that's probably not very feasible.
Here's the best I've managed to do. Not exactly planning on gunning for leaderboard positions, but if I get another score I think is cool like 100 lines cleared I'll make a follow-up comment.
Finally catching up on the leaderboards! You are in 58th place, but made it up to 21st place on the Lines Cleared leaderboard!
Not planning to create a mobile app?
i would play the fuck out of that ngl
Cool game, but can you switch your game to a different game engine, I know this may seem ridiculous, but there is a new policy change in Unity that has led to game developers and studios outright stopped using Unity as a game engine. (I'll leave more details in the replies if I can.)
I am aware of the situation, but it will fortunately not affect the development of Tetrisweeper. Besides that, remaking the game in a new engine is unfeasible; a game engine can't simply be swapped out, it would mean starting development over almost entirely from scratch.
I was grooving to the music so hard that I did my minesweeper logic wrong
(high-score is 23385)
(edit: and I'd like the feature where you can click on numbers to clear the ones around it if there is that number of mines around it)
yeah thats called chord you can change the keybind in the settings so it works
ok
also I recognise you from hept's discord
Oh my god, this game is so awesome!
Thanks so much! You are in 75th place!
This game is amazing. It feels like it was made just for me.
I've been behind on this, but you made it onto the leaderboard!
