BombaDuel: Minesweeper Flags

BombaDuel is minesweeper flags: a 1v1 duel on one shared minefield. You and a real opponent take turns on the same board, and every mine you find is a point you keep.

Tap a cell. Safe, and the turn passes to your opponent. A mine, and you claim it and tap again. First player to claim more than half the mines wins, so one good read of the board can end a match in a single turn.

Nobody is ever out of it. Fall three mines behind and your catch-up bomb unlocks: the next tap blasts a whole block instead of one cell, 4x4 on Classic and up to 7x7 on Huge.

This is the two player minesweeper a lot of people remember from an old phone, rebuilt for touch, with live online matchmaking and a ranked ELO ladder.

THREE BOARD SIZES
• Classic: 12x18 grid, 51 mines, about 5 minutes
• Large: 14x22 grid, 76 mines, about 8 minutes
• Huge: 20x28 grid, 140 mines, about 15 minutes

You pick the size before every match, and you can pinch and pan to zoom on the big ones.

ONLINE MULTIPLAYER
• Tap Find Match and the queue shows how many players are waiting on each board size, live. Switch size with one tap to chase the busiest queue.
• Pick several sizes, or "Any size", to pair with the very next opponent.
• Nobody turns up in 18 seconds? The bot takes the seat on the size you picked.
• Invite a friend with a link. Your code travels with their install, so the app knows who brought them in.

RANKED LADDER
Every online win, loss and draw moves your ELO rating, which starts at 1080. Climb the Top 100, or go after your own best streak. Matches against the bot stay practice and never touch your rating.

PLAY YOUR WAY
• No account needed for bot games. Open the app and duel.
• Sign in with Apple, Google or email to play ranked online and keep your stats.
• Free to play, with a two minute tutorial and illustrated rules you can reopen any time.
• You choose your own public handle, and you can report or block any player from the leaderboard.

Minesweeper solitaire is a puzzle. Minesweeper flags is a race: same grid, same logic, but the clock and the player across from you change every decision you make.

Recent changes:
The bot plays fair now. It sees only the numbers you see, so Easy guesses often and Hard rarely misses a mine it could have deduced.

When an online match ends early, the result screen tells you why, and you can start the next match from there. The back button asks before it concedes.

Winning takes more than half the mines on every board: 39 on Large, 71 on Huge. A draw no longer touches your streak.

Community terms now come up when you first look for an online match, not at launch.
