Let's Minesweeper

The premise is there, but the execution is just a bit lacking. I wish I could give a neutral review, but ultimately I must go negative. It is a giant, multiplayer Minesweeper, with some nice unlockable cosmetic customization options. The two main reasons I have to give it a thumbs-down are the responsiveness issues (mentioned in a bunch of other reviews) and a game mechanic that removes any difficulty. When you click on a number that all of the surrounding unmarked tiles are the same (either bombs or empty), then it will flag them all or open them all. You don't actually have to flag the bombs or click on the empty spaces. You will never hit a bomb. You just keep clicking the numbers until you find one with the conditions is satisfied and it will appropriately flag the bombs or open the empty tiles. No thinking required. You don't even really need to know how to play, just click numbers. The responsiveness issue seems to be a lag spike whenever multiple tiles are revealed. The larger the area is, the longer it takes to show up. Sometimes it seems to just lock up completely and no input you give it is registered. I suspect that when other players are revealing more than just three …

Not sure the telemetry is worth it. This is a very simple multiplayer minesweeper, without any option except for sound volume. You can unlock themes and flags to mark your work, but it's nto competittive: flags are the same for everyone so eventiully what you cleared will be attributed to another person. What remains is your score, but that will get up anyway in a matter of time, first arrived forst served since the maps are huge (onver one million tipes to clear) and there are many maps, from what i understand. But one thing's, the data collection is NOT optional, and the webpage page to know what's collected, when and why, the one thing that makes forced data collection not illegal in some countries you know? Well that page won't open in any web browser I have, without the url corrupting the webrowser data and it wanting to reset. So knowing data collection can mean monetizing, both than and making the game paid here... that's a little... I don't know what to vote, but as a memo to myself, I won't upvote this until I can check the telemetry policy, or unil we have an option to disable it.

Great game

It's literally Minesweeper but multiplayer. Sure the latency is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ but hey its a good time waster. AND I LOVE WASTING TIME! I just wished the game was a bit better at the English translation. You can tell this was made overseas and it has bad English translations for the game and achievements, hell there are still (Chinese? Japanese?) words still in the game that isn't translated at all.
