Really fun! Reminds me of older games that give you just enough hints to put together how it works. The question marks were so confusing at first until I realized the pattern and then it was another interesting part of the puzzle. Is it available for download?
This is really neat! I thought I’d done pretty well to beat the dragon (with a score of 196) but looking at the screenshots here I see the real challenge is to 100% the thing. Nice to have an extra goal to aim for!
303! And I had two hearts left to spare thanks to careful chest-finding. Absolutely incredible game, I'm so glad I didn't see any spoilers. Like someone else said, the monsternomicon was indeed all I needed (and a bit of luck, I admit).
how the gnome (calling him a gnome now due to mention of the other name possibly being a slur) works is that if you click on him he will teleport to a random unrevealed empty space, unless there are no unrevealed empty spaces, in which case he will give you his XP (think of him like a reward for clearing every empty space)
so what actually happened is that he just teleported somewhere else
Is English not your first language? Because at least in America that word is basically a slur for short people. Did you mean something more like elf or leprechaun?
I’m being genuine here, by the way, not passive-aggressive. I know tone can be hard to read on the Internet, so I thought I’d clarify.
No offense intended there, English is not my first language. The figure does not look like a leprechaun to me though. I Would dwarf be a more uncontroversial choice of words here?
Dwarf is the preferred term by a lot of short people as far as I know, and I guess this resembles the mythological dwarf enough to make sense. I just saw it as more of a joker-like figure (the card, not the Batman villain).
Really fun, but a bit punishing if you are unable to find the hearts soon... I would love a roguelike expansion of this game with a bit more randomize enemies. It would need a lot of balance, but there is something interesting lurking there ^^
Great game. Reminds me of Desktop Dungeon quite a bit. Would love it if you put numbers of current / max for healths / gems. Would make it easier to figure out how many you need left / can spend to level up.
So am I. I've tried multiple times on different days, with and without extensions activated. Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 1809, Firefox 128.6.0esr (32-bit)
Brilliant! Does for Minesweeper what Balatro did for Windows ‘98 Solitaire. Hope this gets a wider release with more difficulty levels and progression systems, could become a proper indie hit. Would love a mobile port. Big up :-)
What a well balanced game! Each playthrough taught me something new, the monsternomicon was indeed all I needed, and after winning a few different ways, finally seeing the dragon all alone was so rewarding. Very well done! This is my new end-of-day unwinding game.
EDIT: as I am starting my next playthrough, I'm finding myself wishing for a game clock so I can see how quickly I can get through it. I get why this should not be rushed by default, but a race mode to do best times for a given final score would be great for "late game"
Second suggestion: annotation in the monsternomicon for the real counts of remaining monsters (as it is) but will added text showing what *you* the player think remains counting your right-click guesses for a given level number. I do enjoy the having to manually check, but I see that becoming less and less fun over time possibly. We will see.

Liked it a lot. 189.
Would really like if you didn't start mining bitcoin while I'm not clicking to level after getting enough xp.
Cool game otherwise.
final score 218, took a lot of tries but I finally got the hang of it. Very good game, thanks for making it. :)
I see future in this game, honest! Will you keep working on this addictive game? Or port it to phone?
Mwahahaha the educated potshot

185! I'm legit happy with that because it took me innumerable attempts. Thanks for an awesome, challenging game!
263 is my new best and I think I'm leaving it there.
Amazing game! Bit mad at you though, it's super addictive - I had things to do today :p
Definitely recommending it to everyone I know ^_^

Absolutely CLEARED it this time! So many leftover hearts to spare!
It seems that killing the midget when you're naked makes him not drop anything. Did anyone else encounter this?
he didn't drop nothing because you had no health
how the gnome (calling him a gnome now due to mention of the other name possibly being a slur) works is that if you click on him he will teleport to a random unrevealed empty space, unless there are no unrevealed empty spaces, in which case he will give you his XP (think of him like a reward for clearing every empty space)
so what actually happened is that he just teleported somewhere else
Nice, I had not figured that out. Thanks for the explanation!
Where are you getting the name of the enemy from? Is it in the game somewhere?
Nothing in game as far as I know, I just picked a name that seemed obvious.

Brother, midget is not a slur.
It is actually. Little people (one of the correct terms for referencing people with dwarfism) hate being called the "m-word".
search "is midget a slur" on any search engine I don't have to explain this to you

Fun game
AHHHH THE MISPLAYYY
AGAIN
AYYY I DID IT
Great game, congrats!

Absolutely obsessed with this game
a great game, my gosh that was so good.
Why can't you set eleven?
super fun. Took me 4 tries to get 303
The luckiest rat in the world...
Arghh! 302!
260...

220
fun
Very fun game!
This is a really well designed game, well done, awesome work!
Oh my god this is amazing
Fun! Would love some way of being able to mark mines without the anxiety of having to right click 11 times and not accidentally left click ^^;
Nice! Took 2 days with a sleep break! 303~!
Thanks a lot! Completed with a score of 192
What an amazing game. I loved it!
I am stuck on the horizontal bar loading screen. Any ideas why?
So am I. I've tried multiple times on different days, with and without extensions activated. Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 1809, Firefox 128.6.0esr (32-bit)
This seemed impossible at first but then it wasn't. Nice!

cool game.
Very cool! I thought it would be another game in the recent ocean of Balatro-like "something + engine building", but it is more like Desktop Dungeons.
Oh man, so close, best run I've had yet, this game is fun!
The middle `?` looks like a bug to me.
The one below the red 5? Looks okay to me. It belongs exactly to that 5.
the beholder can surround its self in 9 ?, 8 are pushed against it while 1 ? is 2 tiles away instead of just one.
