Read full description

The goal in Minesweeper is to find and mark all the mines hidden under the gray squares in the shortest time, helping to put the player's name at the top of the leaderboard. This is done by touching the squares to open them. Each square will have one of the following: 1. A mine, and if you touch it, you lose the game. 2. A number, telling you how many mines are hidden underneath adjacent squares 3. Nothing. In this case you know that none of the adjacent squares have mines, and they will be automatically opened as well. It is guaranteed that the first square you open won't contain a mine, so you can start by tapping any square. Often you'll hit on an empty square on the first try and then you'll open up a few adjacent squares as well, which makes it easier to continue. Then it's basically just looking at the numbers shown, and figuring out where the mines are. Control : 1. Tap to uncover (or open) 2. Long press to setup flag 3. Tap on a number to uncover neighborhood squares 4.
