About this game
Safe Step is minesweeper without guessing. Every board is built so that the numbers alone always tell you where the next safe tile is, so you never have to gamble on a 50/50. Read the numbers, flag the mines and open every safe tile to clear the level.
Levels come in chapters of ten. Boards grow from small grids to large shaped fields such as crosses, rings and diamonds, and every tenth level is a big boss board that starts with a free shield. Each board gives up to three stars: one for clearing it, one for finishing within the star time and one for never stepping on a mine.
As you go deeper, new board types keep the logic fresh: hidden-number boards where some tiles show only ?, boards where the mine count is unknown, and crossroads boards where you need an item to get past. Items such as Next Move, Hint, Shield, Revive and Magnifier unlock along the way, and the leaderboard counts how many levels you have completed.
Tips
- Start with numbers that touch only a few closed tiles, because they are the easiest to solve.
- Tap a number whose flags are all placed to open the rest of its neighbors at once.
- When two numbers share tiles, compare them, since the difference often shows exactly where a mine is.
- Near the end of a board, count the remaining mines to settle the last few tiles.
- On a crossroads board, save Hint or Magnifier for the spot where logic gets stuck.
- Next Move only marks a tile, so you still work out yourself whether it is safe or a mine.
FAQ
Do I ever have to guess?
No. Every board can be solved by logic from the first tile you open. Only crossroads boards have places where logic gets stuck, and there you use an item instead of guessing.
What happens if I step on a mine?
The board ends and you get a new board at the same level. A Shield blocks one mine, and Revive lets you keep playing the same board.
How do I get three stars?
Clear the board, finish within the star time shown after your first tap, and do not step on a mine. A mine blocked by a Shield or a revive loses the no-mine star.
Does the game ever end?
No. Levels go on without end, and from chapter 11 the boards keep getting a little harder.
