Interesting twist on classic Minesweeper. I tried to answer the questions suggested in an IGC video:
What was the most frustrating moment you experienced?
The very first click in the middle where I instantly died. Also not knowing what the books are standing for and in general I had the feeling like I was missing/not understanding some mechanics.
What was your favorite part of the game?
When it finally clicked what the game wanted from me: calculating the damage correctly and then nervously clicking a tile. The feeling of being right was very satisfying.
Was there anything you wanted to do, but the game didn’t let you?
Because there’s a lot of calculation involved, it would have helped immensely if you could not only mark “bombs” like in normal Minesweeper, but also mark the damage value you think is on a tile. For example, right-click to cycle through numbers (1 → 2 → 3 → etc. → 1).
What would you say you were doing in the game?
Calculating values (and taking risky clicks) to avoid clicking on enemies.
How would you describe the game to friends and family?
“Complicated Minesweeper” :D
