Flag Capture

Flag Capture plunges you into a high-stakes treasure hunt on a 9×7 grid, where every move counts. Guide your intrepid explorer with precision joystick controls, then press the search button on any square to reveal either the hidden flag or a clue to its location. Arrows point you in the right direction, numbers tell you how many squares away you are, and the dreaded bomb can send you back to square one. In single-player mode, test your reflexes and wits as you race against a 75-second clock to uncover as many flags as possible before time runs out.
