Good when it works, annoying when it doesn’t
My biggest gripe is moreso with how ports of this game work than with the game itself. It’s pretty hit or miss on whether the game will works. It’s worked on some devices but not others. Still payed for the full version because the game was fun and I wanted more.
Lack of iOS support
This game literally has not been updated for iOS in 2 years. It is stuck on Easter. 2021. The Discord is also borderline toxic — when I ask for help I have been told to “just play a different game”. I am sure it is a fantastic game (currently) but even as of today the entire website/wiki is down, so it is discouraging. I do enjoy this game, however new buyers beware.

Do people actually pay $15 for this?
This was recommended on a site I use so I was pretty excited to try it. Let's just say I was very disappointed. After you wait for long enough that you get bored, the game will finally load. Then once you figure out what you're supposed to click first, it takes about 5 tries to pick your difficulty (the controls are not at all intuitive and they don't even attempt to explain them until after you select this). Now you're in the tutorial. It will tell you what controls to use. It tells you wrong. You don't just click. You have to hold. So then when you finally get through that, it explains that in this game, "mines" are enemies (they show a spider as an example). Once you try and do the next thing it tells you to do, it will glitch and you will have to reload. This will happen at least 3 times. Once you finally make it through the whole tutorial, you'll realize that all it has explained to you is how actual Minesweeper works. Now good luck figuring out what to click to play the actual game. Honestly, it seems like it could be good but it's executed absolutely horribly.
EDIT: Once you figure out what to do, it is kind of fun. Debated giving it an extra star, but the selections you make to change the difficulty don't seem to do anything so it's staying at 1 star. Hope this gets improved, because it has a lot of potential.

Luck is not difficulty
There is nothing hard about hard mode, difficulty implies that something can be overcome with skill winning the lottery isn’t hard it’s unlikely. The game is get one shot by a true 50/50 repeat until you get some combo that makes the game brain dead easy
To be a bit more constructive all you have to do is differentiate the price you pay between forced and unforced mistakes something along the lines of only being brought too one health if you made a mistake in a true guess. There are items that do similar things, but sincerely I believe it should just be a standard system mechanics, also streaks are cool make a system mechanic that uses them so I can enjoy it for more then the green numbers 90+% of games I don’t get an item that uses them.
P.S the bug that causes the screen to randomly teleport is terrible a hint for debugging it is that if you turn on border annotations you can see them moving separately from the board while the bug is occurring, please fix the tele bug has killed several of my runs and it’s always infuriating🙏

Good game, just takes a while to load
I didn't think that this game worked until I waited a literal minute on the start screen for it to load. It's worth the wait, but a loading bar or loading animation wouldn't hurt.
As for the game itself, it's great! Love the combination of rpg mechanics with minesweeper.
