About the Game
The goal of Gold Seeker is to find all gold on a field with maximum points. The game field is divided into cells, and each cell can contain at most one piece of gold. You can select any cell by clicking the left mouse button. The digits that appear in a cell indicate the number of gold pieces that cell can "see" in all four directions.
Your points decrease after every click on undiscovered cells. When you find gold you get a 20-second bonus time window, and if you find another gold within that time the remaining bonus is added to your score. The panel at the bottom shows your current points, the number of gold pieces not yet found, and elapsed playing time.
You can choose between four preset field sizes, small, medium, large, and huge, or define a custom field size and number of gold pieces for even more variety and replayability.
Gold Seeker also ships with five selectable skins, a built-in top score list for each field size, and a help section explaining how to play. It's a small, polished puzzle game perfect for quick sessions or extended play.

Tips & Strategy
Use the Digits
The digits tell you how many gold pieces are visible in all four directions from that cell. Use this to narrow down where gold is hiding, just like numbers in Minesweeper.
Chain Your Finds
Finding gold gives you a 20-second bonus window. Find the next gold before it expires and the leftover time is added straight to your score. Chaining finds is the key to high scores.
Pro Tip
Start with smaller field sizes to learn the pattern, then move to huge or custom fields for bigger scoring opportunities. Every unnecessary click costs you points — think before you click!
