Winnable Levels? #13

I know a lot of Minesweeper-like games and yours is definitely a nice spin on the base idea. The last day or two I'm close to addicted to this game. ;)

But what neither Microsoft's version nor most of the clones do, is ensuring that the game is actually solvable by pure deduction. In other words, after I started the level by guessing some random cell (), I want to be able to progress without ever having to guess again. This would even expand on the issue #5 in the way that the first cell would always have to be a blank cell, otherwise your second tap already would always be another guess. () So, an enjoyable minesweeper (to me) will never be down to guessing especially when the first tap will never make you lose and each subsequent tab is predictable (given you did enough thinking).

I know that this was done before (see here), but I'm aware that this isn't trivial. Hence, I would really appreciate if you tried but I like the game very much in its current state already. And if this is too much to ask, I left some minor tickets as well, to improve more on the mundane problems I have with your game. But definitely keep up the good work! From time to time I look for new games to play and whenever this search results in me installing a great game like this one, I feel deeply happy!
