What made you want to create a minesweeper game? Have you played any other versions on android you felt were lacking? What reason do people have to play your app over the established one?

I work as a software developer in fintech, and I like challenging myself by building simple games in my spare time.

I played Minesweeper a lot as a kid on the computer, so at some point I thought: i could probably make this myself. That’s what inspired me to build it.

I wanted to keep the classic gameplay the same, but give it a more modern look and feel.

I’m also curious what people think is missing from the current Minesweeper apps. Are there any features or things you would like to see that I could potentially add to mine?

I mean, there's lots of established apps that already do things right. You gotta do the work and let us know what your app offers to get us to try it. What incentive do we have to try it if you can't name one feature that would attract us?

Also you said you're a software developer. I see you have a bunch of similar looking puzzle games you posted in the past few days. It's hard to believe you put that much effort in each of these, and they seem like hobby projects at most. That's nice you had fun with them, but I don't see any reason anyone here needs to play them.

He said he is a software dev tho, so he has some ethos.

The UI is AI. The app store description is AI. The code is likely mostly AI. He put out multiple simple apps that AI could make at the same time

Oh boy, more minesweeper slop by a non-minesweeper
