Boom!


Boom! is a fun Mine Sweeper style game for iPhone and iPod Touch.


Find all safe areas in a mine field, without touching any bombs. Suspected bomb locations can be flagged and are safe to touch while flagged. If you do touch a bomb, then it's game over and try again!


Boom! has 5 board sizes and 5 bomb difficulty levels for each board size. The size and difficulty level can be set in the game's preferences screen and are saved on exit.


Game preferences, states and statistics are saved on exit and restored on game start.


Statistics of the games played are saved. For each board size and difficulty level the wins, losses and best times are kept and displayed in Boom!'s statistics screen.


Version 1.4.1 is available from the iTunes App Store now.


Boom! v1.4.1 allows you to enable or disable individual sounds, single flag mode has returned as an option and you can now clear the statistics.


A new version has been submitted which will never reveal a bomb on the first-touch, no longer will the stats be filled with single-touch losses!
