Orb Sweeper

Minesweeper. But on a sphere.

Get it on Google Play

Minesweeper has gone round. Orb Sweeper is a mobile game that takes the puzzle you know and wraps it onto a little sphere made of hexagons. Every tap uncovers a new tile. Every number is a clue. Every mine is one wrong move away. Spin the sphere with your finger, zoom in to study a cluster, flag the danger, and clear the surface without a single misstep.

Features

Goldberg polyhedron board

A sphere tiled with hexagons and exactly twelve pentagons. Reveal cells in 3D, no flat grids.

Configurable difficulty

Pick a preset (Easy, Normal, Hard) or build a custom game with subdivision 1–10 and mine density 5–50%.

No-guess mode

Generates puzzles that are guaranteed solvable by pure logic — no luck required.

High scores

Per-difficulty records saved on device, ready for leaderboard sync.

Free & open source

Built with Godot. Source code released under the MIT license.

How to play

Goal

Reveal all safe cells on the sphere without hitting a mine.

Controls

How numbers work

Each revealed cell shows how many of its neighbors are mines. Hexagons have 6 neighbors, pentagons have 5.

Winning & losing

You win when every non-mine cell is revealed. You lose if you reveal a mine.

No-guess mode

When enabled, the generated puzzle is guaranteed to be solvable through logic alone — no guessing required.
