Woohoo, :06 on easy. I like the mechanic of earning new themes by playing. It adds a little something to what is otherwise a pretty monotonous game that doesn't normally provide much in the way of a feeling of advancement. That's not a criticism of your game, that's mine sweeper in general. Good job.

Perfect! I love that you can click an uncovered number to uncover the spaces around it. I have never seen that in a sweeper clone and it instantly made this version my favorite yet on any platform. Great work!

This is great, everytime I thought you could add a quality of life improvement, it turned out you'd already done it. I'm going to come back to this a lot I think.
