Minesweeper: Hardcore Version

Nice title screen! The rest of the graphics are not as interesting though. The gameplay differs greatly from the classic minesweeper in the wrong ways. I loved the original because it forced you to learn logical strategies to win. Here, I'm not really getting it. What you're forced to do is randomly guess. Sure that makes good on the promise of it being hard, but it is no longer about the player learning how to overcome these obstacles.

If there is some greater strategy, please do include a tutorial because this game deviates too far from the original. Good effort and thanks for making a minesweeper game. There aren't enough of those here yet.
