## What is Extended Minesweeper?

Minesweeper Extended is the classic mine-hunting puzzle you grew up with —
rebuilt natively for iPhone, sharpened with one small but game-changing rule.

THE EXTENDED RULE
In classic Minesweeper, a closed cell tells you nothing until you tap it.
In Minesweeper Extended, the moment any of a cell's neighbors is opened,
that closed cell starts showing how many mines sit around it. Nothing is
faked, nothing is leaked — the hint is just the cell's own honest adjacency
count, surfaced earlier. The result is a game with the same pure logic, far
less blind guessing, and a flow that feels closer to a real puzzle than a
coin flip.

THREE DIFFICULTIES
• Easy — 8 × 8 board, 10 mines. A coffee-break game.
• Medium — 16 × 16 board, 40 mines. The classic challenge.
• Hard — 16 × 30 board, 99 mines. For when you want to actually think.

BUILT FOR IPHONE
• First tap is always safe — no instant losses, no restarts on move one.
• Tap to open. Long-press to cycle flag → question mark → clear.
• Crisp haptic feedback on every open, flag and explosion.
• Best times saved per difficulty so you can chase your own record.
• Auto-save: close the app mid-game and pick up exactly where you left off.
• Clean, native SwiftUI interface — no clutter, no popups, no nonsense.

NO ACCOUNTS. NO ADS. NO TRACKING.
The full game is free. There are no banners, no rewarded videos, no
subscriptions, no accounts, no analytics. Everything runs locally on your
device — your best times never leave your phone.

OPTIONAL TIP JAR
If you genuinely enjoy the game and want to support an independent
developer, there's a Support screen with three optional tip tiers. They
unlock absolutely nothing — they're just a thank-you. The game is exactly
the same whether you tip or not.

Made by a solo developer who still thinks Minesweeper is the best puzzle
game ever shipped. Have fun.
