Hex Mines is an improvement of the classic Minesweeper game.
There are six board variations and five different levels in Hex Mines.
It means that you have 30 different games to play!
Additional features: sound effect, MIDI music, customizable skin,
shield to prevent you accidentally uncover a mine, and many more.

When playing Hex Mines, you are presented with a mine field.
Your mission is to "locate and mark" all of the mines in the field.
To do this, you uncover the cells that do not contain mines, and you
mark the cells that do contain mines.

free of charge. If you decide to keep this program, you MUST register it
