I'm not a big fan of puzzle games but these are great.
Are the clues hand coded?

#52this is great! very nice ui, and quite challenging on the high difficulties.
reminds me of 14mv a bit - and judging by the reactions to it on steam you're going to get so many false bug reports from people not used to the long deduction chains haha
(a suggestion to try the hints near the feedback form might help curb this a bit..)
one qol thing I missed is that clicking a number to fill in the neighbours only works for crosses and not sunflowers (and doesn't work for "0" clues)

#53I don’t understand how this is reverse minesweeper when it’s just minesweeper with flowers instead of bombs.
Because "contrapositive minesweeper" doesn't roll off the tongue.

#54Very fun. Shared it with my parents and they're into it too.

#55Single click places an x instead of a sunflower. I solved the puzzle but placed those xes instead of sunflowers and was confused why it doesn't say I solved it. I would suggest making a single click be the main action, ie placing a sunflower.

#56MSN MESSENGER HAD THIS! I used to play this with a friend. You would take turns, that is, the mines would reveal themselves in real time, and your turn ended if you missed a mine. Then the game would call you a slut when it ended, because my friend's MSN was in Swedish and that is the word for "end"
No, that was regular minesweeper. The difference in this new version is that all the clues are revealed in the beginning.

#59This is great! Did a few rounds, will come back.
A few months ago someone on HN shared Dragonsweeper and it completely hooked me and my wife to the point that we had to agree to break up with it. https://danielben.itch.io/dragonsweeper

Ah yes - my bad. I fixated on the part where you have to uncover the mines instead of avoiding them.
