LadyDiMineSweep

Object of the game

You are a volunteer for the HALO trust.
You have to find all the mines so no child will step on them.
The faster you find them the more lives you save.
Just make sure you don't also become a victim.

Playing the game

The rules for the game are simple.

You start by left clicking any square in the field.
The top left hand corner is always free.
This starts the counter to the side.

The numbers revealed show how many mines are in the 8 spaces next to that square.
If you suspect that a square hides a mine, right click on it.
This plants a flag on that spot.

If all the needed mines around a square are marked, right click on that square.
This reveals all the squares next to it.

Strategies and tips

Look for patterns in the squares.
If you can't find any easy mines, look for patterns such as 1-2-2.
If only 3 squares are left for the middle 2 and no mines have been revealed, then you know that there is a mine above the 2nd 2 because if there were none, then there couldn't be a one by the middle 2.
