Hello, thank you for trying my game, sorry about the issues you had, apparently, the randomized movements sometimes break due to the small/large grid size, I didn't find the issue until after I submitted it, and it was quite rare to get in my testing and only happened in HTML export(after submitting). The issue only happens in large(6) and small(3) grids (from what I know of). Again, sorry for the bad experience, hope you still liked the concept, you did have the correct deductions, just a major bug occurred and made it fail, I will try to fix this in the post-jam build. Not sure exactly what causes it as no one else who has commented so far has reported any major issue like this? Feel free to try again if you want to (hopefully, you don't get the issue again). Thanks for the feedback.

This was a really fun twist on Minesweeper. I didn't hear any music while playing, so not sure if there was any or not. Nice work overall!

Thank you for bringing back memories :D

The game seed thing also reminded me of Minecraft.

Intelligent idea! I really liked the gameplay! But I realized that a limit to rerolls would make the game more persuasive. Overall, I liked it!

BEST OF LUCK :)

P.S. Check out our game!

Looks good. Clever twist on classic minesweeper.

I can just rapidly click a dice to see the nearby mines. Perhaps a limit on the number of rerolls would be helpful. 
Occasionally while rerolling, the dice would be blank.

Could use music and sounds.

Thank you for the feedback! A blank dice is a 0, meaning all surrounding cells have no mines. I agree with the limit of rerolls being helpful and adding music/sounds, ill probably add that in a post-jam version.

Once you get the rules, it very fun. Clean and simple presentation. Very nice game to play when relaxing.

I had a lot of fun playing this! It was a good balance, trying to figure out where they are. I did find though that you could cheese it by marking all the tiles as flags, so maybe limiting the number of flags that can be placed? This has a lot of potential, some sound effects and general juice would make this golden :)

The game looks very promising, but as far as I understand, you can complete any level by filling all the cells with flags :/

Yes, you can, I realized that after I had submitted...  A way to fix that would be to count the number of mistakes or only win if only the mines are flagged or limit the number of flags you can place. Might add something like that in a post-jam version. Thanks for playing and the feedback.
