How to Play

To win Hex Mine, tap all the unmined tiles without tapping any mined tiles. Tapping a mined blows it up and loses the game. The first tile you tap is never mined.

Tapping an unmined tile shows how many mined tiles are next to it--from zero to six:

Color or Mono
When you tap a tile with no mined neighbors, all the neighboring tiles are automatically tapped too.

You can Mark a tile by pressing it and then sliding off the tile before lifting the stylus. Also do this to unmark a marked tile.

The left number shows how many unmined untapped tiles remain. Near the end of the game, this number can help you strategically.

The right number shows how many seconds this game has taken. For each playing field, the fastest time and when that game was played are recorded.

The little circle between the numbers is the New Game button.

The drop-list lets you choose a Playing Field. The fields are:

Small  Rectangle  8x10
Medium   Rectangle  13x11
Round  Hexagon  11 High
Hole  Hexagon  13 High with a Hole in it.
