About the Game

Minesweeper × Tower Defense

Mine? Tower! is a Minesweeper-inspired tower defense puzzle game where every tile can change the run.

Reveal safe tiles, read the numbers, flag hidden mines, and turn confirmed mine tiles into towers. Each decision gives you more information, more space, or more defense — but one wrong step can end the run.

How It Plays

  • Deduce the board — Numbers show how many mines are hidden around each opened tile.

  • Flag mines — Mark confirmed mines before they become a threat.

  • Build towers — Spend build points to construct towers on flagged mine tiles.

  • Defend the castle — Keep enemies from breaking through while you continue solving the board.

  • Restart quickly — Short runs make it easy to try a better route, faster clear, or higher score.

Puzzle Logic Meets Defense Strategy

Mine? Tower! is not just about clearing tiles. You need to balance risk, information, and tower placement.

Opening more tiles can reveal the path forward, but it can also expose danger. Building early can stabilize your defense, but saving build points may give you better options later.

Features

  • A hybrid of classic Minesweeper logic and tower defense strategy

  • Short, replayable runs built around quick retries

  • Score and clear-time leaderboards

  • Simple mouse-based controls with useful shortcuts

  • Minimal 2D presentation focused on readability and decision-making

Controls

  • Left Click — Open a tile, or build a tower on a flagged mine tile

  • Right Click — Place or remove a flag

  • Chord / Auto-Open — Use left+right click, double-click, or middle mouse on an opened number

  • R — Restart

  • ESC — Pause / Menu
