Stuck in a trap of your own? Here's how to get free.
What's the goal?
Open every safe tile without opening a trap. A number on a tile tells you how many traps are hiding in the 8 tiles around it.
Is the first tap ever unsafe?
No â the very first tile you open is always guaranteed safe, along with the tiles immediately around it.
How do I mark a tile as a trap?
Long-press a closed tile to cycle its mark: unmarked â ðĨ flagged (blocks that tile from being opened by accident) â â suspected (just a note â doesn't block opening it) â unmarked again.
What's the difference between Beginner and Advanced?
Beginner is an 8Ã14 grid with 18 traps and a size you can customize from the Home screen. Advanced is a fixed, larger 9Ã16 grid with 36 traps â a meaningfully denser, harder board.
My best time or stats disappeared.
Best times and stats are stored only on your device. Reinstalling the app, restoring from a different device backup, or clearing the app's storage will reset them â this can't be recovered, since nothing is backed up to a server.
There's no sound.
The game plays short sound effects for opening tiles, flagging, winning and losing. Check that your device's volume is up â the game also plays while the ringer switch is silenced. Sounds only play while the game is open; nothing plays in the background.
I found a bug, or have an idea for the game.
Email it to ungalganeshtech@gmail.com â a short description of what happened (and which mode/device, if it's a bug) is a big help. Emails are usually answered within a few days.
