Freeware Game Pick: Extremine (Tommo Zhou)
Extremine is a challenging variation of Minesweeper that forces players to think fast, created by Tommo Zhou for the friendly Ludum Dare 14 competition. The goal of the game is to detonate mines instead of just marking them, and if you don't act fast enough you'll find that the mines will start to box you in as the board shrinks ever faster with each passing second.
The number of usable markers is limited in every game, but you can restore the marker count by unmarking tiles or detonating marked tiles correctly.

I dont understand how to play this game at all and the directions on the site hardly help at all. How do you detonate marked tiles correctly?

Never mind, a couple more minutes fiddling around with it, i figured it out.
When a block says there's 2 mines around it, mark where you think those 2 mines are, then click the block that says 2. If you are right, good things happen, if you are wrong, bad things happen. If the wall closes in on the marker before you click on the number, it explodes the mine, but you lose the marker.
