Ars called it their favorite of 2025 so far, and I'm enjoying it. Adds a nice if minor level of resource (health) management on top of regular Minesweeper. Free to play online.

    It's very possible to defeat the dragon. I can do it pretty regularly after a day of heavy playing. Getting the achievements is tougher. And I still haven't gotten a clean wipe yet (I've been 1 tile away twice though)

    I was one heart away from getting 13 hearts, but at that point I was out of options. 😫

    I did it on my eigth or ninth try. I lost several times due to stupid mistakes, clicking on a mine when I forgot that there was a 1xx clue next to it, seeing only that xx was small.

    I guess I just haven’t gotten the hang of it yet.

    Have you paid attention to the patterns visible when the game ends? The purple slimes + wizard are really helpful to locate. I also generally tried to avoid using the walls since it seems like they don't always give as many points as they take to kill. I also played on an earlier version, it might have been easier.
