Mines on a phone
You can run this one-handed on a bus. 2.9 s to load, portrait holds, tight buttons.
The phone check
Upright, the spin button shrinks and the bet stepper crowds it. A wide thumb hits the wrong one. The demo pulls about 12 MB before the first tap registers, which on a poor bar is where the 2.9 s goes. Getting money back out is a separate count and we keep it at cashout.
One build, one return figure
Spribe licenses a single build of this one, at 97%. The figure in the game's rules footer will match the figure above, every time. That is not true of the 123 titles here that ship in more than one configuration.
Where it sits on the board
On the phone score it lands 190 of 306. Orientation carries the most weight, the wait carries the next, the buttons carry the rest. The board median is 2.1 s, so this one costs you an extra 0.8 s a session.
Spribe has 5 titles on this board, 3 of them upright, with a median load of 3.3 s.
What the game is
Out in 2019. Spribe built it as 5x5 minefield grid with minesweeper / cash out. Provably-fair minesweeper where each safe tile multiplies your bet and you choose when to cash out before hitting a mine.
Volatility reads medium, so the balance moves in lumps, and fifty spins will mislead you either way. Minimum stake is C$0.10, which is about 200 spins on a twenty. Ceiling is 5,000x and it is not going to happen to you.

Every app we have taken apart is at app teardowns, ranked on install size, crashes and how many taps stand between a balance and a submitted withdrawal. The full list of sites that ship one is at sites.
