This one looks a lot easier though, maybe I can play it during boring meetings without getting pissed off..

It's missing the double click on a number feature from minesweeper.

Hormuz is not a minefield though. According to sources, ships are moving near the coast of Iran, according to other sources they are being charged $2M per passage. According to other sources only Yuan paid oil is allowed.

Very very good satire. Well done

Looks good but can’t play on iPad due to lack of right click.

The smiley button does not seem to be doing anything.

Good to see minesweeper is still existing today.

As for "winning" - Trump will say everything, from A to the opposite Z. It is the flood-the-zone-with-shit strategy, as explained in the 1980s by Yuri:

So, rather than evaluate what Trump says, one has to evaluate what is happening.

What I see right now is the USA committing more and more to the invasion. Ground troops will come next; first as "limited range", lateron as Vietnam 2.0. Trump is kind of like Lyndon B. Johnson now, just that the country is Iran rather than Vietnam.

Every player action needs to be followed by a drone animation randomly crashing into the remaining tiles.

Well done, but kind of annoying that winning and losing the game both lead to the same clip.

I have not finished a game, but I would be very disappointed if I didn’t get credit for stopping a war once I’ve won.

"Mines only spawn on water" is a bit confusing; there are no clickable tiles that are fully on land, but tiles that touch land can also have mines. So I'm not sure what that is telling me.

Click with both buttons to open all when cell is surrounded with right number of flags is not working or missing, which slows the game a lot.

I was hoping that when i actually win i'd get a video of him doing that goofy dance he does.
[−] 0dayman 55d ago
and missiles too, not just mines

Is there Ukraine-Russia DLC?
[−] justintiime 55d ago
Missing feature where you blanket nuke the whole area to destroy mines.

Much winning such wow.
[−] mkl95 55d ago
That was only Q1! So much winning left!

How do I chord with a MacBook trackpad?
[−] nullzzz 55d ago
Well done!

I don’t quite agree with making fun of the situation that’s deadly serious to many innocent people. Yet I’m sure the intentions of the author were good.

Hoping for peace.
