Yep, that issue is a battle I've lost in the court of public opinion here, so mea culpa. Thanks- I'll see about improving it.

Though, in my defense this little clone is already very unlike like minesweeper in so many ways, starting with the geometry - less sides to touch a mine (6 instead of 8). Trade-off is that the number you see is more certain about its neighbors, so the quirk of the first strike grew on me.
