Rules

One million mines have been placed randomly in a grid. The game starts with most cells (or "squares") covered, so you don't know where they are ! Your mission is to mark squares containing a mine with a flag and open empty squares. An opened empty square will display the number of mines in adjacent squares, making it a game of pure logic and deduction rather than chance. The game ends when all empty squares have been opened.

How to play

You may interact with the game in the following ways:

• set or unset ("toggle") a flag on a covered square
• open a covered square that is not marked with a flag
• open adjacent squares of an empty opened square
• jump somewhere else in the grid using the jump button 🎲

Note that the "open adjacent squares" action will only work if the number of flags in the adjacent squares matches the number displayed in the target empty square.

Opening a square containing a mine will kill you.
Well, not in the actual sense of the term.
But you will be prevented from playing for a small period of time, ranging from 10 seconds to 15 minutes; just to teach you a lesson.

Playing on a computer

The mouse controls are:

• right-button click: toggle the flag marker on a covered square
• middle-button click: open adjacent squares
• left-button click: open a covered square, or (when clicking on an empty square) open adjacent squares
• mouse wheel: zoom in or out
• left-button: hold the button down and move the mouse to move on the grid

Playing on smartphone

• tap on a covered square: toggle the flag marker
• tap on an empty square: open adjacent squares
• long-press on a covered square: open the square
• move and zoom on the grid by doing the standard "gestures" (a.k.a. pan & pinch)
