- I love the idea of this game! It has a great foundation. Its a very cool interpretation of the theme and is very well executed for the time frame! The explanation for how the game works is very good and informative. I would like to see some improvements to the artwork by adding more detail to Rosemary and Cassius. I would also move the text from the side of the text box to towards the centre as there are some minor overlaps that make the text hard to read at some points.

Really good tutorialization AND a story to boot :) Riddle gameplay was engaging.
Very creative and innovative connsidering the good old minesweeper. I would love to play more levels.
huge minesweeper fan here. good job!
Minesweeper is quite fun even if I am quite bad at it, thanks for the generous amount of lives :) I enjoyed the dialogue especially, the cat was certainly a character! Good job on the game
Love the art, love the puzzle innovation. Felt a lot like a zactronics style game. Really well done!
Really nice variation of minesweeper, also mlem
This is a great take on minesweeper! i love the shadowy.
Wow! Okay, first of all I love Rosemary and the personality you put into this game. And it is so playable and polished and fun, with all the sound effect details, the sound and drama and story arc, it's just really really impressive to me especially considering that the shadow/alchemy themes are so on point that it's clear how much work you put into it for this jam. And I really did have fun trying to figure out each level. I WON AND SAVED ROSEMARY
