A long time ago an ancient technology was buried in the land beneath your feet. To keep it safe, a number of mines were buried with it. Fortunately all the mines emit a radioactive frequency strong enough to tell you if one or more are within one dig away from you. Unfortunately, so does the ancient technology. However, the ancient technology emits a stronger frequency which makes it appear that there are more mines nearer to you than what is possible. Using your vast intelligence and logical reasoning skills you should be able to tell it apart from the mines. Find the ancient technology and glory awaits!

Taking a spin on the classic minesweeper formula. The mechanic is pretty much the same, if you see a 1 any adjacent cell that does is not dug up may be a mine. The twist is that it may be the ancient technology too. As you move through a level is something doesn't make sense, e.g. a 3 next to only one covered cell, then you may have found the ancient tech. Dig it up and hope you aren't wrong!

Controls:
WASD or Arrows, digging happens as you arrow or walk into a cell.

Notes:
Ugh! I wasted Friday and Saturday down another path. Minus some tinkering late Saturday night, I created most of this game in the last 12 hours. I'm pretty happy with it given the rabbit hole I fell in.

Due to time constraints I wasn't able to invest time in ensuring every map is winnable. Because the mines are randomly placed there is no guarantee that the tech will not be boxed in by mines. I put in a small amount of code to attempt to remove the most likely case of this happening, and hopefully you will not encounter this type of situation, but I am sorry if you do :(
