This is a really good entry! Very nice ambience and use of the theme, with interesting innovations on minesweeper. The addition of the Nousagis in particular are super nice for solving 50/50s which are normally just pure chance in default minesweeper
I have only a couple of gripes:
- Audio balancing needs a little work, the explosion sound (especially when there are multiple explosions at the same time) is really loud and jumpscared me at first lmao. The obvious solution would be to just prevent the audio from stacking. The ingame BGM was also slightly too loud imo
- The controls feel pretty unintuitive to me. On top of UIJKL being kinda uncommon keys for games, K not being used outside of the menu leads to this sort of odd arc layout:
I don't really see why K was exempted from the gameplay controls anyway since I don't recall any situations where pressing K would be ambiguous between the menu or the game (only one is active at a time, so there's no conflict that I can see)
Overall this game is still fantastic! Neither of my gripes are anything really game breaking and I really enjoyed this one
