List the ready features here:

• 3 difficulty levels.
• 3 lives.
• 3 hints for uncovering a small part of the board for few seconds.
• 3 safe clicks to mark a safe place to click next.
• Recursive opening of empty cells.
• First click is never a mine.
• Best scores are saved to local storage.
• Undo button.
• "7 Boom!" button - to create a board with a mine in every 7th cell.

Screenshots

Usage

• Use a left mouse click on any unrevealed cell in order to reveal it's content.
• Use a right mouse click on any unrevealed cell in order to mark it with a flag.
• Every revealed cell shows a number indicating the number of mines found in adjacent cells, or a mine.
• In order to win the game reveal all empty cells and mark with a flag all the cells that contain a mine!
• If you step on 3 mines you lose!
• You can click on the light bulb to the left side and then on any unreveald cell on the board in order to get a hint.
• You can also click the safe click button to see a hint on the board for a safe cell you can click next.
• You can undo steps using the undo button.
• In order for a record to be saved there is a requirement for a "clean win" - which means winning without using any of the extra features supplied.
• You can click the smiley at any time to restart the game.

  • Manually positioned mines.
  • Change settings feature.
• Improve style, UI, and responsive design.
