How to play

You can test a square by “stepping” on it. To do so:

∙Highlight a square by tapping on it or by moving to it with the arrow keys. Then, to “step” on the square, tap on it again or press the Spacebar.

If you step on a square containing a bomb, you lose and the game is over. If there isn’t a bomb under the square, stepping on it will reveal the number of bombs in the 8 adjacent squares. If you uncover a blank, the surrounding eight squares are revealed automatically because there cannot be any bombs under them.

If you suspect that a square conceals a bomb, mark it with a flag. To do so:

∙Hold down the Shift key and tap on the square, or highlight the square then tap on the Flags counter or press Enter. Remove a flag in the same way.

If you know that all the bombs surrounding a numbered square have been marked with a flag, select the square and tap on it or press the Spacebar to uncover all the surrounding squares.

Scoring

Your score for the game is the time it takes to reveal all the bombs. The top two scores for each level, together with the name of the player, are kept in the Best times list.
