Bombs
Bombs is a game of speed and logical thinking. The object of the game is to
discover and mark the position of all the concealed ‘bombs’ in a grid of
squares as quickly as possible, without accidentally uncovering any of the
bombs.
You can select between easy, medium and hard skill levels, and 5 different
grid sizes, using the Skill level button on the toolbar. The harder the skill
level, the more bombs are hidden in the grid. You can set the number of
bombs by selecting the Custom skill level.
How to play
You can test a square by ‘stepping’ on it.
To test a square:
• Highlight a square by tapping on it or by moving to it with the arrow keys.
Then, to ‘step’ on the square, tap on it again or press the Spacebar.
If you step on a square containing a bomb, you lose and the game is over. If
there isn’t a bomb under the square, stepping on it will reveal the number of
bombs in the 8 adjacent squares. If you uncover a blank, the surrounding eight
squares are revealed automatically because there cannot be any bombs under
them.
If you suspect that a square conceals a bomb, mark it with a flag.
To mark a square:
• Hold down the Shift key and tap on the square, or highlight the square then
tap on the Flags counter or press Enter. Remove a flag in the same way.
If you know that all the bombs surrounding a numbered square have been
marked with a flag, select the square and tap on it or press the Spacebar to
uncover all the surrounding squares.
Scoring
Your score for the game is the time it takes to reveal all the bombs. The top
two scores for each level, together with the name of the player, are kept in the
Best times list.
