0.0.79 — Mostly an Expedition UI overhaul: the sidebar got a new layout, chat mo

Minesweeper Online Playtest · published 11 Sep 2026, 03:30 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

🎯 Expedition UI

Sidebar top is now a progress ring plus stat cards: cells you revealed, contribution, star shards and region crystals at a glance
Title fits on one line (English) plus one line (Chinese) instead of wrapping
Scrollbar sits flush with the panel edge again
💬 Chat & Social

Region chat moved from the sidebar into a dock at the bottom-left of the board (collapsed to a small button, same as race/coop)
Tap a coordinate in a message to teleport; "share current location" is still there
🎯 Gameplay

Coordinate jump now has separate X and Y fields (numbers only); clicking the minimap fills them in
🎨 Avatar frames

Every frame (99%, noodle lid, toilet seat, washer door, instant photo, star harbor ring…) now scales with the avatar: large avatars look right again, small avatars no longer overflow
The certification grade badge scales too
🐛 Fixes

Dark mode: profile page text is readable again ("Edit profile", "Replay", "Next page"…)
Dark mode: the 99% badge and other frame ornaments got their backgrounds back
Expedition board: your own skin applies to cells you opened, flags are no longer tinted by your own skin, and revealed areas blend with the board surface
Cascade feedback no longer yanks the camera
🎯 Certification exam

No more daily attempt limit — take the exam as often as you like
Exam tickets get pricier each purchase in a day: 500 → 1000 → 2500 → 5000 crystals, then 5000 each
⚠️ Note

Ticket prices reset daily at 00:00 UTC
Happy sweeping 🎉
