“One of the best ways to make a roguelike, and now they are actually fixing it.”
“This is a very charming game. That said, it's not without flaws, and to be honest, it's got quite a few of them. There's a lot of bugs, luck is a very important factor, etc. I will say though, the devs are very actively…”

“At least it runs now, but It's still an unstable mess of bugs and crashes. Every single daily quest and beyond quest I've played has crashed since the latest update. There are still multiple missing assets, some which…”

“It's rough around the edges, but when it's fun, it's *insanely* fun. If you like Minesweeper and you like roguelikes, this is a must-play. It still has its fair share of Minesweeper BS in it, but that's also what you're…”

— a player, Steam review · 53 hrs played“Game is working on my machine as of 10th Feb 2026. Tried it after the news of patch fixing the crash issues and happy to have this back as something to come back to. Yes, it's great/best minesweeper roguelike.”
— a player, Steam review · 359 hrs played“While the core game is fun, repeat crashes and consistent errors eventually soured my love for the game. You will find a tame sounding synergy that will brick the run. Lost my first save to a corrupted save cloud years ago but I started again anyway. Then the game failed to…”
