Music and sounds

It’s not fair that after slogging through and completing every level - all 70 levels — I have only unlocked 11/16 tracks and 4/7 fx loops in the Sound Room (music and atmospheric fx player).

Meh

The levels are predetermined. You can, and will, hit a ‘mine’ on your first turn. Far too often there are multiple potential solutions in which it becomes a guess to avoid which kernel is the bad one.

Won’t open

I was having fun, but now the game won’t open

Great idea, great design style. Poor polishing and feature design
Wed Feb 28 2024 dBugZZ

I like the idea and style of the game. The game seems not polished: some visual features are very visibly out of place in the current design, or redundantly blinking the whole level (as uncovered “mines”). The necessity to reclick from memory the earlier levels if you are unlucky is annoying; some levels are ambiguous.

cant disable it. makes your clicks need confirmation. pointless for good minesweeper players. didnt think this is what it did. would like to disable it.

Did anyone actually play this before you released it?

Language resets to Arabic anytime the game is launched, Can’t mark mines, The store doesn’t work at all, Zero tiles don’t clear their corners, Opening move can kill you, failing a level reveals all the mines so replay is trivial. So much surface level stuff wrong it’s clear they just gave up after delaying it once and kicked it out the door

Interesting idea, poorly designed
Wed Jan 10 2024 Otawong

I really thought this seemed like an amazing game idea, but the execution is so flawed. Mechanics are not explained, the Lo-fi soundtrack is marginal in its quality, and there are visual and game glitches that are easily reproducible. There’s a kernel of a good idea here, but this game needs more development time.

Unplayable due to bugs
Mon Jan 08 2024 Muangao

The tutorial, which only shows up when you originally download the game, doesn’t teach anything. After that, you cannot rewatch the tutorial and there is no other guide for the game. I had to figure out on my own that this is the exact same as classic minesweeper, except you cannot mark the bombs (burn popcorn kernels in this case) which is very inconvenient. My game glitched so I am stuck on the “this game is better on headset” screen in Arabic, even if I close the app and reopen, it’s still the same issue. The game is now literally unplayable. Stick with classic minesweeper and don’t waste your time on this game.

Buggy

I’ve come across a few bugs after only playing 5 minutes. Also why is this game 1gb??

Lazy minesweeper

I got past the tutorial and couldn’t even start the game must have been a bug everthing said “closed come back later”
