Description
How difficult can it be? Richard Kaye proved that Minesweeper(MS) is NP-complete[1,2]. That means MS can be a very difficult problem even for computers to solve.
We made up such MS into a "perfect" puzzle game. I use "perfect" to mean that no guesses are required to solve puzzles, or even more strictly, no guesses are allowed. Only the squares (means "chocolate cubes" in this game) that are certainly safe can be uncovered (eaten).
This game has two play modes, Game and Puzzle. Puzzle mode has 250 challenging puzzles. In Game mode, you can play random puzzles like standard MS, but they are guess-free. You will never get tired of playing!
Once you play this game, you will realize that MS was such a difficult, but very fun puzzle game.
Some other popular puzzle games are also proven as NP-complete[3,4,5]. Therefore, I can say this game is as much fun as those puzzle games.
Chocolate Sweeper is optimized for mobile screen size and touch interface. This is the best puzzle game you can play on a mobile device!
Please be cautioned that this game is not as sweet as it looks. It is really difficult, and not recommended for those people who just want to play games for relaxation.

★★★★★
Best logic-focused minesweeper. Just checked a few 1-star reviews. For those who complain about difficulty: spend the 8 hours learning some math so that you wouldn't be penalized so hard. For those who complain about mandate tutorial: if you don't even have patience for a 10-min tutorial then you would give 1-star for difficulty anyway. Some end-game puzzles can cost way longer than 10 minutes.
★★★★★
Overall, the Tutorial is long, but teaches extremely well, and the quality of life features are swell. The random JPEGS for losses and wins are weird. Prior to playing through this game's tutorial, I was really bad at minesweeper. I knew each number referred to the number of bombs nearby, but didn't understand the fairly simple concepts required to quickly break down a board into manageable chunks. This game does a great job setting you up to actually be good at minesweeper.
★★☆☆☆
limits the amount you can play in one go. Forces you to play through a lengthy tutorial, even if you've been playing minesweeper for decades.
★★☆☆☆
Mandatory tutorial and a way to lock you out of playing by forcing you to play puzzles where you have to guess? Stock photos of kids crying if you don't pay money to keep playing a game that came free with your PC? Really?
★★☆☆☆
While I enjoy the effort put into this game, being locked out for 8 hours or paying money feels untenable. As does locking players into a significantly long tutorial for a game they may very well be good at. It's a good learning resources, but shouldn't be shoved down a player's throat.
