Hi, Good job on the project 😎 👍

Maybe someone try improving the README.md file in the section with the links to download the application.

With Google Play Store and F-Droid badges

Here is an example that can be done, which exists on the majority of Mobile Development projects on Github.

please could this puzzle game pause when it loses focus?

it takes a very long time to play, especially the larger level. when a phonecall interrupts play or something else needs attention, the timer doesn't stop, and sometimes the map is lost.

Sometimes the first tile you strike is a mine.

You can add Screenshots for F-Droid, too, if you want.

Hey, could we get a new message for games we won? Every other time I'm frustrated to see "Game over" only to realize that I haven't lost. At least for me the term "game over" has an intrinsic negative connotation.

Furthermore, I would appreciate if you formatted the quadruple that represents your progress in a different way. Perhaps one number per line like in

Correct mines: x
placed mines: y
opened fields: z
no of mines: w

Ideally with the colons or the numbers aligned (to the right).

Also, at least for the end message, could we have a conversion of the time to something more readable? At least minutes, please. Not sure if anyone stays in a level for more than an hour, so minutes realistically should be sufficient for most use cases.

Lastly, is there a possibility to display the message over the game? Perhaps even in a way that I can investigate my mistake in case I lost? So, make the game immutable (no more inputs to change the grids), but let me still switch between the layers and perhaps you could even highlight my mistakes somehow.

I know a lot of Minesweeper-like games and yours is definitely a nice spin on the base idea. The last day or two I'm close to addicted to this game. ;)

But what neither Microsoft's version nor most of the clones do, is ensuring that the game is actually solvable by pure deduction. In other words, after I started the level by guessing some random cell (), I want to be able to progress without ever having to guess again. This would even expand on the issue #5 in the way that the first cell would always have to be a blank cell, otherwise your second tap already would always be another guess. () So, an enjoyable minesweeper (to me) will never be down to guessing especially when the first tap will never make you lose and each subsequent tab is predictable (given you did enough thinking).

I know that this was done before (see here), but I'm aware that this isn't trivial. Hence, I would really appreciate if you tried but I like the game very much in its current state already. And if this is too much to ask, I left some minor tickets as well, to improve more on the mundane problems I have with your game. But definitely keep up the good work! From time to time I look for new games to play and whenever this search results in me installing a great game like this one, I feel deeply happy!

In general I don't mind this in my everyday matches I play, but from a purely logical standpoint, recognizing a level as solved just because the player marked all and only the correct spots isn't really correct. Because given enough endurance a player could win a match without revealing any cells and by just guessing every possible mine pattern. A logical approach would be to count a level as solved, if all non-mine cells are correctly revealed (regardless of how many mine-markers were placed). If you want to use your approach, I would at least add a button to the UI. This button would become clickable as soon as you marked the required number of mines and effectively would try to reveal all the remaining non-marked cells. If your guess was right, you win, if you mis-placed a marker and the button would reveal a mine, you lose.

I would even go as far as to say, that this isn't even something that the user should be able to configure in the settings. As I said, your current approach isn't problematic most of the times, but it's a hack! And all the other settings don't offer hacks, just themes (BW/color, lines/numbers), difficulty (easy/hard( and usability features (auto/manual flood).

Still, right now that levels aren't strictly solvable by deduction, I can see some value in this approach because you can at least try some mine-patterns if you would have to guess near the end of a level. But again, this is a hack and not a valid strategy.

All the time. Does everybody experience that?

Hi 👋

I'm a player from france and i'd like to provide french translations for the parts of the app that need it. I'm thinking of the app description on the Fdroid store, menu strings etc…
I believe it would help spread the word about your game and make it known to others :)

If you seriously consider it, i recommend you go with a hosted translation tool like Weblate (which is FOSS and provides free hosting for FOSS projects), because it helps a lot with people like me who are not at ease with code and modifying files. 👍

I really much appreciate that the actual game either adapts to me choice of a dark color scheme on my device or just uses black by choice, but the main menu is light which isn't really for me. Would you mind adding a general color scheme setting? Just Dark/Light would be enough for me. If you want to be extra fancy Dark/Light/System, or add any other color schemes you like on top... ;)

Nice game, I really like the style, the only problem I have with it is that you have to floodfill by hand, which is kind of tedious, so it would be nice to have an option for it to be automatic.

I really like this game but it can be hard to play sometimes. With shaking hands it can be easy to double tap things. Having an accessibility mode where you select the tile and then hit a button elsewhere (or something similar) would make double taps much harder.
