| Boss Rework Update Hotfix | 2026-07-24 | Boss effects no longer persist into normal stages after the boss is beaten.Boss effects can no longer stack - only one challenge active at a time.Split Decision: destroyed/broken tiles count as cleared, so the stage can't become unfinishable.Tunnel Vision: destroyed tiles leave a playable gap, flagged tiles count toward your path, and walls never seal off the last safe tiles.Shifting Locks: locks never grab the last safe tiles you need to finish, and lock count shrinks at the end of the stage.Starting a boss before the board finished spawning no longer breaks the challenge.Recently fought bosses are remembered across save/quit - no instant bo |
| Major Update: Boss Rework + Bug Fixes | 2026-07-16 | Hello everyone!It has been a bit quiet round these parts, but that's because we've been working on a bunch of bug fixes and reworks for Infinity Sweeper! Do let us know your thoughts and feedback on this update:)Without any further ado, read on to find out what's new!💀 New: Boss ChallengesThe boss timer is gone! Every boss stage now comes with a random Boss Challenge that changes the rules for that stage. You won't see the same challenge twice in a row, and you can hover over the boss level tile to re-read what the active challenge does. Blackout - every so often, a few revealed tiles get blurred and briefly hide their numbers Tunnel Vision |
| Beyond the Grid: References | 2026-05-22 | Hello sweepers!Hope you've all got a lovely bank holiday weekend ahead!For this week's edition of Beyond the Grid, we asked the devs: Are there any Easter eggs or references in the game?Yes, absolutely! There are a bunch of references to other games, as well as general pop culture and memes references! The oldest one probably was the name of the permanent upgrade: “This ain’t Balatro” (since the genre has been coined Balatro-like), which disables you from using cards. “Didn’t say Uno” grants you two more cards when you’re down to your last one. “Kid named Finger” is a reference to a very specific but popular “meme”... And there’s a ton more!─ |

| Beyond the Grid: Colours | 2026-04-24 | Hello hello and welcome to this week's Beyond the Grid! We're all gearing up over here for launch in just under 2 weeks!And so, this week, we asked the devs: What's been going well recently?We’re getting pretty close to release, so most of the work has been small improvements rather than big new features. One thing that made a big difference was improving the readability of exposed enemy tiles! We’ve had complaints about fast-paced gameplay being challenging due to unintuitive colouring of the tiles, so just by tweaking their colours a bit, we made the game look way clearer.───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── |
| Beyond the Grid: Siblings | 2026-04-17 | Hello sweepers, welcome back to another week of Beyond the Grid! We've also concluded challenge week, how many of you were able to make it through every day?This week, we asked the devs to tell us about a feature in the game, here's what they had to say:The Siblings of course - a trap that makes enemy tiles hold multiple enemies. It’s my favourite trap so far. It changes the logic behind the minesweeper puzzles just enough while remaining solvable (just in a different way)─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────Oh how the Siblings have been confounding us! It's no surprise it's the dev's favourite, but wow did it |

We had no idea how it was gonna turn out and how much we’d have to manipulate the parameters for it to generate a playable and synergic build, but after not much testi |
