The purpose of the game is to open all the cells of the board which do not contain a bomb. You lose if you set off a bomb cell. Every non-bomb cell you open will tell you the total number of bombs in the eight neighboring cells. Once you are sure that a cell contains a bomb, you can long tap to put a flag it on it as a reminder. Happy mine hunting!
Help Red

Your job is to lead the character Red to the next tube. You can draw lines on the screen that Red can roll or bounce on. As you clear the levels the game gets harder and you will be challenged with brain teasing problems. A clean good looking game perfect to open up when you are bored to clear some levels
