A dating sim and minesweeper combined!

Choose one of the 8 characters, find hearts in a minefield, get the phone number!

Created using Dart, using pure HTML5 canvases. I recommend using the full screen mode on itch.io.

Congrats and keep coding ^^ (and you music is not as awful as you think)
I would have preferred smaller/shorter minesweeper sessions, maybe even timed, to keep the pace up so I can more time on the narrative half of the game.
Still, the concept is fun and the game gets the idea across very well. Nice!
I like how the hearts mechanic changed the minesweeper gameplay.
Maybe making the minesweeper board smaller would improve the pacing a little.
The difficult is unnecessarily confusing to me. Changing just the amount of hearts that each board has and making everything else the same would be a simpler way to change the difficult, in my opinion.
I would like if the board always started with some space already open. It seems that the game already tries to do this, but most of the time it only opens one square. I would suggest to always open one (maybe more) random square without any mines or hearts next to it, to guarantee that more than one square will open.
Great game! =)
