Lacking a Key Feature
On traditional Minesweeper, you can click with both mouse buttons on a revealed number and, if the requisite amount of flags are adjacent to fulfil that number, all nearby empty squares are automatically cleared at once. I NEED this to be able to play this game with any level of enjoyability. Once you get used to that command, it's so fast compared to manually clicking every square. Please add this.

Without this control, I'll play maybe ten minutes of this game. WITH this control, I'll play hundreds of hours and write a wonderful review.

Below is a video of this fast clearing command in action. If you're having trouble understanding it, I'll try to explain it again.

Say you have a two revealed and you have those two known mines flagged. Instead of having to left click each other square to reveal it, you just click the two and all are opened at once.

By the way, the in-game aesthetic of this game is really good. I like how it all looks. Here are a few more recommendations I have after just playinged for a handful of minutes:

  • An option to disable click+hold map scrolling, since it's easy to accidentally scroll instead of hit a square.

  • Tileset options for different colors would be nice. A classic aesthetic mode would be cool.

  • There NEEDS to be a mine density option to make things tougher instead of just bigger

  • I've died on first click a few times. I dunno how to solve this, but some versions have. Maybe generate two maps at once and, if the player hits a bomb on one, it goes with the other.


    I would love for this to become a big, fully-featured Minesweeper platform.

I agree. The 2-click feature is a must. I'd imagine they're working on it.

Thanks for the backup, Dilly Dof Mack. We gotta get this feature.

And question mark is needed for an uncertain mine marking.

Yeah, that'd be a cool feature. I'd like to see it added

The first click should always be at free cell.
