Denki Gaka's Bombshell

Denki Gaka's Bombshell is a minesweeper puzzle game with two modes, two grid styles and three difficulty levels, giving you 12 combinations to play. In Puzzle Mode, you uncover squares while marking bombs. In Panic Mode, opening empty squares starts a countdown fuse; you must mark all exposed bombs correctly before it runs out.

Modes and grids

Choose the classic square grid or a hex grid, which can be easier for new players. All three difficulty levels are available with both modes and grid styles.

Mark and uncover

You can open a square with a click or touch, and mark it as a bomb or with a question mark by right-clicking or long-pressing. Clicking or touching a number can also uncover the surrounding squares when the number matches the marked bombs beside it. If it matches the number of unmarked surrounding squares, the game marks those squares as bombs for you. The interface prevents invalid moves and indicates when an action will not work.

Records and board

Each of the 12 game types has World Records, Daily Records and Local Records. World Records track the three fastest times ever for each combination of mode, grid style and difficulty; Daily Records show the top three times each day from around the world and reset at approximately midnight Eastern Standard Time; Local Records track the three fastest times on your device. Records are shared across PC and mobile devices, and scores are recorded anonymously without requiring registration. The only information sent to or received from the server is global records and new best times.

The animated 3D board uses movement to show how you are doing: numbers still needing bombs marked bounce slowly, while numbers with the correct number of bombs marked stop moving. Numbers beside an incorrect number of marked bombs jiggle to flag the mistake. If you uncover a bomb, it triggers surrounding bombs in an outward cascade. You can turn each animation on or off and choose which sounds to hear in the options panel.

Touch and mouse play

Bombshell supports mouse and touch controls. On devices with smaller screens, you can zoom and pan across levels with larger grids.
