what does smart flag do?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
It depends on the levels you play. Some levels, iron is more common than diamonds, on other levels, the reverse is true. However, I do plan to change the appearance rates of minerals at some time in the future.

This game is highly entertaining, although I do have a few small points of criticism. An important point is that the generator makes the maps RIDICULOUSLY difficult; I'm a pretty advanced sweeper, as seen by my high scores in the hard and expert categories, yet I feel that the expert map, especially, has far too many mines to be an enjoyable experience. The 33% of mines makes for an especially annoying challenge, when compared to other expert minesweepers, most of which have 21% mines. This, coupled with the lack of "opening luck" results in severe frustration at not even being able to play. This is not just a matter of playing poorly - the game is all luck until you either die or open a large area. I have a few other issues that I will address through PM due to the character limit, but this is the most important. Please address these concerns, as it is a fantastic game otherwise.
I'm fairly sure the Extreme map only has a 25% mine ratio (64 mines in 256 squares, the 192 at the end of the level is the number of non-mine squares). And by "opening luck" I assume you mean that it is not possible to die on the first click. If so, see your below comment. The difficulty is perhaps too high for regular minesweeper, but this is the result of balancing the game to fit in the upgrades.
Hardcore means you can die on your first click. If hardcore is off, the game will act like standard minesweeper, in that, no matter where you click initially, there will not be a mine there.
If you clicked the square next to the mine and there was no number, that is indeed a problem. If you could give me any more details, or a screenshot, that'd be great. Thanks.

The iron rate seriousely needs to be boosted. I farmed for iron and actually I verified at the end that I had more coal, gold and even diamonds..
Either lower the prices, or boost the rate. I spent most of my time farming for SOLE iron, which is wierd.. I find 5 diamonds faster than 3 iron..
Also maybe nerf diamonds a bit? They look like the same drop rate compared to Gold, and they should be more rare.
Yeah, I think I do need to make minerals a fair bit easier to find. I'll add that to the list of things to fix for the next update. Thanks for your feedback.
I just increased the rate by quite a bit.

Also, make it that not EVERY recipe needs iron because I've got 2 iron, 10 gold and 13 diamonds. I NEED to upgrade my stuff

I got 2.46 on easy, but it labels it as 246 on the leaderboards, so someone with a 9.9 second time is ahead of me. It's quite irritating.

When I go Extra --> Options, and then I click "Upgrades" the game open "Inventory Help" window. I can't go back, I can't close that window.

I really like the idea of this game. But it is not very hard. The hard mode in minesweeper has 99 mines. Also I've almost finnished every achievement but I have only 2 upgrades so far. You don't really need the upgrades. Not even for extreme. The achievments made this game fun but there should be more achievments, levels. Also this is a game minesweeper game about minecraft. WHERE ARE THE CREEPERS. My conclusion you get 3 stars for the idea. Work this out further and it could be an awesome game
I think you will still have your compass but it will have been disabled. To get it back, go to Upgrades->Shop and click enable for the compass. If that doesn't fix the problem, please provide more details.
