Minesweeper Flash: It's harder than you think

This online game is inspired by the simple logic game that you know and love/hate so well. But in addition to changing the background rather dramatically, Minesweeper Flash shows the board at an angle. I wouldn't exactly call this a 3D version of Minesweeper, because the board is still on a single plane (you don't move vertically, just horizontally).
But somehow adding a little tilt to the board makes game play a lot more challenging. Don't believe me? Give it a try. It's a bit like learnign to play the game all over again. You know, for the few minutes until you get the hang of it anyway.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

I still like the original minesweeper on Windows better. You can use the combination of left and right click to detect or clear a area.
It is a way faster pace game than this flash game.

So, Brad, you never learned how to fly, even a plane?
You never stood upside-down on your head or hands?
Remember the Dead Poet Society?
It's only a matter of perspective, a DIFFERENT perspective from the homo sapiens upright (mental?) position we were taught at school.
Give it a try, you'll never go back.
My two cents, of course... :-))

It's only harder because the 3d numbers combined with the skewed perspective makes things cluttered.

Yeah, really didn't have any trouble with it. I actually cleared it faster than I normally would. That or it was easier than Windows' Minesweeper. I wish the Flash version had the flags though.
