### 3/5 — It's ok for a while...

*2016-08-31*

Not a bad game, it's a good logic puzzler. Too repetitive and so becomes boring really fast. Maybe a large minesweeper style field, but with this cool updated design and no time limit could be an alternative game mode and would help make the game more entertaining.

### 2/5 — Multiple Solutions

*2016-08-14*

This would be a great casual game, if there weren't so many levels with multiple answers. Some of them are because you can solve the level with either 3 or 4 spots, but they don't tell you how many mines there are. But some are because the level is so poorly designed there are 2 different answers with the same number of mines.

### 1/5 — SAVE YOUR MONEY

*2016-08-01, version 1.0.1*

This game is frustrating. Slow moving and comes with no instructions; save your money.

### 1/5 — Could be great...if only...

*2016-07-09*

Get rid of timer. Horrible.
Allow level continue option so you don't have to start over. 
Run ads to continue a level. Or, we can pay to remove ads. 
Then you get a 5 star rating. Without these features, there's no reason to play.

### 4/5 — Good game

*2016-07-09, version 1.0.1*

Would like to see an option for no timer

### 4/5 — OK game

*2016-07-07*

Please allow the game to be untimed as an option, and let players go back to the last successful level when they lose the game so they don't have to start from the beginning.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2016-07-06, version 1.0.0*

Very nice puzzle game

### 2/5 — Could be good, but...

*2016-07-04*

Game could be good, but it should have a no-timer option. As it is, it's impossible to learn how the game works, and how to interpret the numbers, once you get beyond level 10 or 11. Unless that's the point, that the player really isn't supposed to advance beyond those few levels. In which case this game is really unfulfilling.

### 2/5 — Novel. For 2 mins. Then delete.

*2016-07-03, version 1.0.0*

Once the adverts pop up, it's really not worth hanging around for another round.

Simple and dull.

### 2/5 — Almost...

*2016-07-01, version 1.0.0*

Really want to like this, but the time limit makes it hard to, as it doesn't even give you a chance to learn from your mistakes. First few levels are easy enough but the time limit doesn't give you time to even think about later levels, which is a shame as despite the ads its a well presented game.
