this is a big BIG game. it does feel like a minesweeper + balatro haha. I think it's super creative and well executed, so 5 stars for that. Now, i do think that this kind of game might be a little too big for a game jam, because it takes a lots of runs to first see how it works, and then more runs to try different options untill you see how you have to play. The tutorial is nice to have (most jam games do not have one) but it falls kinda short. Actually i really like minesweeper, so i found a problem. The starting click can give you basically 0 information, so the next click can land on a mine which feels kinda unfair. This is "fixable" so don't worry to much, just trying to give usefull feedback ^^
Other than that nice work!

Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you liked it! I 100% agree with your starting information point, this is my first big jam so I didn't realise beforehand how important making the game easy to start understand and jump into was - definitely something for me to learn from in the future so thanks for the feedback.
