Cool concept, cool modes, good achievement implementation. Bad execution. Press is on mouse button release not click, so you get awkward presses everywhere and end up miss-clicking if you try to go to fast. Same issue with Chording, for some reason the dev decided to not let you control input for this, the default input is simultaneous left+right click, again on key release, still feels bad. No clue what the compass, red nugget, and question mark do, and you cant lock the window in place so you accidentally drag it a lot. Finally the game starts to lag the more flags I put down, not sure what's causing this, AMD Ryzen 5800X, GTX 2080 should be able to run minesweeper lol. Game just feels awful to play. The concept seems really cool, so I would consider coming back to it for the rest if these issues are fixed.

About This Game
Special features:
Zooming and scrolling(both discrete and smooth) so boards are only limited in size by your computer's memory and not by your screen's resolution.
Multi-mine tiles. Up to seven mines can be on one tile. Hold down 'flag' to add flags until the numbers match.
Toroidal boards that wrap left to right and top to bottom.
Endless survival mode. Quickly clear the board as it descends. You take damage if the lowest row has unopened non-mine tiles when it falls off the board.
Hot keys for quickly opening all 4 corners.

A fun little Minesweeper version with some extra modes available. Pros are that it's lightweight plus has multimine and 'clear the falling line' modes. Cons are a faulty screen rescaling, obtuse multimine flagging with mouse controls, and [strike]a lack of middle click ('smart select') The dev probably thought it wouldn't work with the multimine mode since flags are arbitrary. [/strike] almost a year later I've found out chording is left+right click. At only a buck during sales I'd say it's a nice step up over the minesweeper that used to come with your computer
