## What it is

Minesweeper X-Core takes the classical Minesweeper deduction loop — read the numbers, infer the mines, sweep the safe cells — and rebuilds it on a 3D neon-grid battlefield with modern UX, haptics, cloud-backed progression, and a soundtrack. Numbers are still the only truth on the board; the game never bluffs.

## Game modes

- **Campaign Mode** — 100+ custom campaign levels with new mechanics introduced as you climb. Seasonal floors are added on a recurring drop cadence.
- **Daily Missions** — A new set of objectives every day. Feeds streaks, progression, and routine return play.
- **Classic Arena** — Pure Minesweeper rules with neon-grid visuals, multiple difficulty tiers, challenge modifiers, and fast replay loops.

## Key features

- 3D cell grid with parallax, custom lighting and reduced-motion support.
- Boosters: shields, scanners, time-rewinds, mass-flags. Earned via missions, not pay-to-win.
- Cloud sync: progress, stars, streaks, inventory, and profile data follow you across browser and Android.
- Guest play: full game accessible without signing in; sign-in is only required for cross-device sync and PocketBase-backed account restore.
- Offline-first on Android (Capacitor): you can complete campaign levels without a connection.
- Haptics + push notifications on Android for daily mission reminders.
- Accessible: keyboard play, focus rings, high-contrast palette, reduced-motion respect.
