awesome! Yeah it is tricky. I make little rpgs and often struggle with the “well do I really NEED to include a tutorial that you use the arrow buttons to walk?” and - yes! It turns out. You do. Like for example my mother hasn’t really played a video game since Pong and didn’t know to use the arrows to walk or that Enter was select and a host of other things. 

It’s really tricky! I’ve found that over explanations are never as obnoxious as they seem to you. Ppl who know it skip over it no issue and ppl who don’t, appreciate the pointer. 

And I should confess I still have no real idea how minesweeper works haha 😂 so I guess this all also speaks to the human urge to click buttons for happy brain chemicals. Silly humans lol.

I'm just starting to understand this difficulty. In addition, people are always in a hurry, they have no time to understand, even read the rules, and in games and entertainment, if something is not clear to them, they prefer to quit this and do others. In addition, games has already created many hundreds of thousands, and the attention of millions of people receive more simple and understandable games.
