Mines but More

I just want to play Mamono Sweeper without getting an unsolvable puzzle.

• Puzzles can now be started with any square.
• UI will briefly flash green when level increases.
• Added a button to clear flagged mines up to the current level.

How To Play

Classic

Mines are hidden throughout the board. The total number is displayed at the bottom right. Click on a square to reveal it and a count of the number of mines in the surrounding eight squares. One empty square is revealed at the start that guarantees enough information to solve the puzzle.

Right click to flag squares you logically deduce to contain mines. This will prevent accidental clicks on a dangerous square, and update the count of found mines. Right click again to remove the flag.

Clear all the safe squares to solve the puzzle.

Multiple

Gameplay is the same as classic, except a cell may contain more than one mine. Clues reveal the total number of surrounding mines.

Right click adds flags up to the maximum mine count. Or type a number while the mouse is over a square to set that number of flags.

Press the Auto Clear button to reveal all flagged squares up to the current level.

Leveling

Gameplay is similar to multiple. There is a level (displayed at the bottom) of the number of mines that can be safely revealed. As you reveal more mines this level increases until all squares can be revealed.

Clicking on a revealed square with a mine toggles between showing the mines and the surrounding mine count.

Acknowledgements

This variant was previously implemented in Hojamaka Games' Mamono Sweeper.

Algorithm for generating solvable puzzles operates on similar concepts as Simon Tatham's Mines.
