This is a really good entry! Very nice ambience and use of the theme, with interesting innovations on minesweeper. The addition of the Nousagis in particular are super nice for solving 50/50s which are normally just pure chance in default minesweeper

I have only a couple of gripes:

  • Audio balancing needs a little work, the explosion sound (especially when there are multiple explosions at the same time) is really loud and jumpscared me at first lmao. The obvious solution would be to just prevent the audio from stacking. The ingame BGM was also slightly too loud imo
  • The controls feel pretty unintuitive to me. On top of UIJKL being kinda uncommon keys for games, K not being used outside of the menu leads to this sort of odd arc layout:

    I don't really see why K was exempted from the gameplay controls anyway since I don't recall any situations where pressing K would be ambiguous between the menu or the game (only one is active at a time, so there's no conflict that I can see)

Overall this game is still fantastic! Neither of my gripes are anything really game breaking and I really enjoyed this one

You know, all those years of minesweeper finally coming in clutch... ain't no way we're gonna let Usada Corp duds ruin this crop! Not at no cost, anyway. This was a good game! Clean, simple, cel-shaded, Pekora with her terrifying eyes knowing what she did to the poor harvest.

There were a couple of hiccups with the actual interaction, and the controls did take me a second to figure out from the menu, but I appreciated the pretty solid rule page booklet and the throw in! Am I the only one who found the higher difficulty ones easier, or did I just lock in after a bunch of games...? I really liked the Nousagi mechanic, gave just a bit of guessing leeway for the hard stuff (o7, poor thing...). Good work, thank you for submitting! 🙇‍♂️

Fun spin on minesweeper! Only qol thing that came to mind was maybe always having at least one circle selected?
Great vibes and animations. I like the nousagi mechanics a lot, and I like that you can take a couple hits before losing :)

This is the type of Game that makes me addicted. Definetly Fun despite Performance issues which made the Game a bit laggy on my Side.

Fun minesweeper with nousagis.

Very cute 3D models and animations.

It was fun sending a nousagi into the unknown (will it go boom?)

Great work! You even included a manual with pictures!

An interesting take on Minesweeper! A bit annoying that the controls can't be remapped though, they're pretty uncomfortable on keyboard
