Other than the tutorial part, the game is wonderful, the mechanic is interesting and innovative. Congratulations!
@michidk Yes, the base game mechanic I took from the Minesweeper and I just slightly change it.
@chertkov I agree. Unfortunately you are right, levels are slightly boring. I planned to add additional game elements in the late levels, such as lava, indestructible ground and some enemies, but I didn't have enough time for this.
@bereg Yes, its like in the original Minesweeper, but instead of showing the number of bombs in neighbors cells, the numbers next the arrows show how many bombs are left below/above/left/right. Thanks, I'll add this part to tutorial.
I hope you enjoy!

I decided to slightly change the game mechanic of Minesweeper, because we can only see and open the neighbors tiles. So in my case, the original mechanic might be too complex.
And you are right, the first levels are very simple, and the last one is a little difficult to figure out where the bombs are. I will change the bombs position in the last levels.
Once again, thanks for the awesome review of my game.
