I don’t understand how this is reverse minesweeper when it’s just minesweeper with flowers instead of bombs.
it reverses right and left click
Single 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.

It's reverse in the sense that you've been given the numerical hints, and instead of clearing the mines, you need to place them. That feels pretty "reverse" to me.
But that's how minesweeper works (except that you have to click to get the first numerical hints but that's not really what would make it "reversed"). A reverse minesweeper would be: bombs are given, and you have to place the numberical hints.
Because of this ambiguity, the search space is much larger here. Source : I play A LOT of Minesweeper.

Rather than counting mistakes, just allow mistakes, and just not let the puzzle get solved until it’s complete without mistakes. This is how most of Simon Tatham’s puzzles work, and that works well.
Sure, but then it's easier, and you can just keep clicking around by trial and error without thinking about it, which is a boring way to play.
2. Even if brute force was a viable option for solving, an easy fix is to have a “submit” button when you think you’ve solved it (and that can track strikes for invalid submissions).

But you have 3 mistakes you can make, and you spend one when you accidentally place a sunflower. I played through all the daily puzzles and have started into the master puzzles and I'm glad flower is double click, because a misplaced X is free, but a misplaced flower is not. It would be far too easy to accidentally tap the screen and burn a Mistake, and if its your last one that would be frustrating.

It has the option to play a tutorial that explains the controls
