Unlike the developer, I will complain about this version. First the good: nice sound effects-- the chime, even the batteship sounds. The not-so-good: I guess I'm used to the smilie that you can easily click on to start a new game, rather than having to pan over and click on "new game", which is a bit boring in itself. How about a Risk-style cannon or something to click on instead? Most importantly, one should be able to click on surrounding numbers once it's clear where the mine is, in order to expose empty spaces. This version is tedious in that regard, where you have to click on each square separately. I prefer the classic-looking minesweeper widget at this time, but the sound effects on this one increase the rating by a star.

Read The Friendly Manual:Reveal known neighboring safe squares:
If the neighbors of a square that have mines have been flagged then double-clicking on that square will uncover the remaining squares, i.e., if a square is showing that two mines are next to it and two of the surrounding squares are flagged as having mines, then the other six squares will be uncovered. Use with caution, however. If one of the two mines was incorrectly flagged, then uncovering the other six squares will trigger the mines hidden there.
