Fifty mines. Ten are active. Use your memory to clear the rest! Test your brain and mind with Memory Mines, a fun casual puzzle game that requires your skills in memorization. Presented with a grid of fifty square mines, ten of them will briefly flash and you'll have to memorize where they are as you begin sweeping the board of inactive mines in an addictive game of risk versus reward. HOW TO PLAY • Ten random mines will flash red at the start of the game. Tap or swipe the inactive mines to clear them. • Once you've cleared twenty mines you can use the right arrow to move on to a new board, but if you continue clearing mines you'll earn an increasing combo of points. • Are you brave enough to take the risk to try and earn a larger score fast, or do you play it safe testing your luck and metal through the endless boards? It's best to be quick and react whilst the memory is fresh! Too much time spent thinking makes it harder to remember where things are, so keep a sharp mind and just go for it. If you can clear a board you'll earn a bonus five hundred points!
