Sea mines look like balls with spikes and are very different from landmines, which are usually flat discs. The naval origin is why you can see sea mines on the game board. When the authors first created the game, they called it Minesweeper, after a warship that searches for sea mines.

This game uses the words 'mines' and 'bombs' interchangeably.

The player must determine the mines’ location based on these numbers. These numbers indicate how many mines are in the surrounding area. The minefield takes the entire game board, consisting of square-shaped fields. Minesweeper is a video game in which the player must deduce the location of mines (or bombs) hidden in a minefield. Plant a flag or uncover surrounding fields The maximum width and height of a custom board is 500. If the game behaves strangely and you suspect that the game data are corrupt, you can reset the game by using the “Factory Settings” function. In the “Pure Intellect” mode, boards are always solvable. Hold the right mouse button to remove flags. Hold the left mouse button to uncover fields. Hold the 'Ctrl' key to temporarily toggle Supersonic Mode. When using Supersonic Mode, hover your mouse above a covered field to flag it, and hover it over a numbered field to uncover all surrounding fields.

Supersonic Mode allows users to play without clicking, except for when starting the game. For the “Fully Random” game mode, the distribution of mines is determined only by the game number and difficulty level. For the “First Try Safe” and “Pure Intellect” game modes, the distribution of mines is determined by 1) game number, 2) game mode, 3) difficulty, and 4) the first uncovered field.
