This is sort of like an arcade version of Minesweeper. You must guide Melvin the Missionary across a series of minefields using only your trusty mine detector, which tells you how many mines are adjacent to you, but not where they are.

Featuring in issue 106* of the b3ta newsletter* made this game an almost instant hit, and almost made me over-run my server bandwidth limit! Over 60,000 unique visitors have played Mined Out!

My first attempt at a Flash game. Similar in concept to that age-old "Simon" game, where you have to remember an increasingly complex sequence of light patterns. Except its on a kitten. With lightbulbs for ears.

The idea just popped into my head and I felt compelled to act upon it. Initially this game didn't fare too well, but the popularity of Mined Out has led to an explosion in the number of people playing this too!
