How to play
The goal of the game is to find all the bombs on the field. To do this, you will have to carefully monitor the numbers in neighboring cells. Each number shows how many bombs are around it.
For example, if the number is 2, and 3 cells are closed around it, then there are bombs in two of them, and one is safe, and the numbers in the surrounding cells will help you to find it.
The first time you start the game, you will be prompted for a tutorial, and in a minute you will know all the rules.
