Unique twist on the classic minesweeper concept. While it requires some knowledge of minesweeper strategy to fully appreciate, it could benefit from additional elements to add variety to the gameplay. Overall, the execution and presentation are excellent, making it a great game. Good job!

Cool twist on minesweeper. It does need a fair bit of understanding of general minesweeper strategy to force as much guessing as possible, but I don't think there's a real way to guarantee a win? It could do with something to shake up the gameplay a little bit but I'm not sure what exactly. Execution and presentation are about as good as they can be though!

Very interesting and fun game!

Interesting! Good Job!

Brilliant Concept, perfect execution, top Game. Great Job.

Really cool concept! I wasn't able to get super involved in the gameplay since at some point it just kind of felt like RNG, but maybe I just don't have the best knowledge of standard Minesweeper. Was fun to mess around with for a while nonetheless and the aesthetic was spot on!

Great twist on Minesweeper, feels like you're taking the roll of a cheating computer!

amazing twist on the minesweeper idea. Well executed, too. The only tiny nitpick I have is that the AI player is a little too slow for me. Great game, definitely one of the best, if not specifically because of its simplicity.

I liked the idea of making impossible board to solve in order to defeat the AI. I found the best strategy is to spread the mines so the number of blank tiles would be minimized, and click on smiley until he dies. It's great to see mine-placing idea is executed in so many different ways!

perfectly twisted mine sweeper!
it was really great experience, but AI was too strong for me lol
I hope one day I could meet this game on steam, but 2 players version! it would be awesome!

Submitted

Really cool idea, it seam hard at first but if you have some experience with minesweeper it is very easy to create patterns that are impossible to solve.

Sometimes, when playing calssic minesweeper, it feels like there always has been someone undearneath, purposely making you guess where the mines are

great little game, i like how the cursor trembles when it's in doubt

Submitted

Interesting idea! Kind of hard to understand at first, but you get the hang of it.

Nice spin on a classic game! I think it's a really neat idea but perhaps a little too RNG dependent. You could also teach the mechanics a little since it's currently dependent on knowing the base game.

Submitted

Really clever use of the theme! A great reversal of a classic

Very cool idea but I don't know enough about minesweeper to play it, because it seems like minesweeper is an exact puzzle to be *solved* and moving about the invisible pieces about which no information has been revealed doesn't seem like it'd do anything?

Still love every part of the game (art looks really cool, and the ai feels a bit like a human), I might just lack to much experience the puzzle here (I understand the rules of minesweeper but never played a lot)

Submitted

Nice, creative theme interpretation. It's a fairly simple mechanic but it's pulled off well. Maybe music could make the game even better? Overall good job though.

Submitted

Very nice idea
