## What is Hero Sweeper?

Read the numbers, find the mines and guide the hero to the exit. Every board can be solved by logic alone.

HOW TO PLAY
Each number shows how many mines are in the 8 cells around it. The hero starts at the entrance and heads for the door. You can open cells next to the path you have already opened. Open a 0 and the safe area spreads at once.

8 DUNGEONS AND CLEAR TIMES
Starting Meadow, Rat Cave, Misty Forest, Old Tower and the Demon King's Castle. Clear the castle to open the Hall of Mirrors, Dragon's Nest and Sunken Temple, where the entrance and exit move. Your best time is saved for each stage, and your best time without hints or revives is kept separately as "No-hint".

DETOUR CHESTS AND THE TREASURE BOOK
Chests hide off the direct path to the exit. Read the numbers and you can reach them with no luck needed. Clear the stage to bring the treasure home and add it to your Treasure Book (48 in all).

DRESS YOUR HERO
Complete a stage's treasures to unlock new cape colors and gear (Silver Knight, Dragon Knight, Sea Mage), then change outfits from the Treasure Book.

HINTS AND REVIVES
Watch one video from the hint button to get 3 hints. Hints mark the board step by step, showing each number as mine dots and which cells are mines or safe. The timer pauses while you look at a hint. If you hit a mine, watch a video to continue from just before it (up to twice per run; the second time takes 2 videos).

PRACTICE BOARD
First-timers get a 5x5 practice board that shows how to read the numbers. Replay it any time from How to Play.

FLAGS
Flags are notes for yourself. Long-press, or use Flag mode, to place or remove them.

ADS
You choose to watch videos for hints and revives, and an ad appears after every third finished run (not right after you watched a video). Only non-personalized ads are shown.

REMOVE ADS (ONE-TIME IN-APP PURCHASE)
Buy once to stop automatic ads, and get hints and revives right away without videos. After changing devices or reinstalling, use Restore Purchase on the title screen.
