comments for AtomicGi's Idle Minesweeper
sort: go backI'm consistantly seeing 1 tiles next to two mines, and your flood-clear algorithm occasionally leaves a square diagonal to a blank tile un-picked. step one of making this game should probably be making a solid minesweeper first.
cant see shit what it says in upgrades
The font used is near impossible to read, even with the game enlarged. Could do with things like bigger maps. I'm not sure how the player gets to googol, but evidently I need to play for longer. Nice beginning though, good luck!
Seems like there could be something here but it's unplayable in its current state. Text is either hard to read or illegible, can't tell whats going on right at the start of the game, interruptions every 3 seconds when buying upgrades, and worst of all sometimes the puzzles are just straight up wrong/impossible (https://imgur.com/a/R33JT59). On the other hand, the style is cool, animations are good, and concept is interesting. Needs a lot more work.
developer response: Thanks. It's still in VERY early development. I need to add more QoL updates and whatnot. I do see the problem with the blocky text-- it's how the game has the pixelated vibes. However, It's hard to choose just some things to pixelate over others.
Thank you for your feedback, I'll get working as soon as possible!
Idle minesweeper is cool, but needs refinement. Upgrade texts are illegible and should have more information on what they do. Don't know how the game evolves, but I'd say that it needs a slower beggining, like unlocking bits of automation such as: First click, flagging/revealing 100% tiles (if a tile is 100% a mine it gets flagged, if 100% safe it gets mined), and later you introduce things like "places flags in places that are not guaranteed" or "safely reveals random spaces" to the automation. As a minesweeper fan, I give this a 3, but I hope you can bring it up to a 5
can you pause the game while i'm doing upgrades. i want to upgrade not get halted every 5.001 seconds because the robots are absolutely stupid. clankers even
This is the loudest game I have ever opened in my browser O_O
The game was fairly nice (if basic) otherwise!
Improve the text and add more content, and you'll be great!
never upload games this early, its a good idea but it obviously needs some kind of tutorial, sometimes the numbers on the board arent displayed correctly, eg. a 1 with 2 mines near it.
I don't usually do this but I gave it 1 star only because of the "Jesus loves you" text. I don't come here for religion or politics, so I don't particularly want to see either one. Imagine if a game dev added "Allah loves you" or "Jehovah loves you" text or some such... know what I mean? It's just kind of... eh.
It's not properly coded like minesweeper, as the seed is generated before the first click, which isn't right it's supposed to generate with the first click, also the first click reveals a minimum of a 3x3 square, and the first square you click can never be a mine, OR a number.

This link can answer questions you have.
Is there any way to change the background? It's really making it hard to play this.
developer response: Coming in SoulLight update (V1.0)!!!
(sometime soon. Maybe? IDK.)
Alright I think I figured out why the minesweeper sometimes doesn't switch to a new level
The generation bugs out sometimes, making unsolvable maps
Since these maps never get solved, the next one never comes in
To fix this, either go to upgrades (+) and come back or hit the retry button (r)
developer response: Thank you so much for your feedback!
Coming in the SoulLight update (V1.0) these buttons will be consolidated into the settings menu.
also i completed the mineswepper board thing (i flagged all mines and clicked on everything else) but its not doin the thing when i complete it
Am i really minesweeping when theres robots sweeping the mines for you? 🤔🤔🤔
developer response: Questions we need to be asking ourselves...
ive never seen idle and minesweeper in one sentence and next to each other
There's at least 1 big flaw in the Dev's guide: if you have squares 1-2-2, according to the dev the square under the 2nd 2 is definitely safe, but, in true minesweeper games that square is absolutely definitely a bomb! it's the 2nd bomb for the first 2, but again in the dev's guide, he continues with only 1 bomb for that 2. This, to me, makes why i am very tempted to remove ALL the upgrades bought, and play the game manually. But, then i know there are much better minesweeper games for that to enjoy myself with. Sorry.
Why does the splash text at the start take like 5 seconds to get of my screen
developer response: The splash text is a fancy way of saying "hey bro the game's still loading"
(Fun fact: The background takes 11 seconds to fully load in if you're playing 60fps)
is it possible to add a volume slider? the game is really loud
how did they make a tile disappear-
developer response: I'm working on a bug fix right now. It duplicated.


















make the text readable for the upgrades please.
