Show HN: I made a multiplayer Minesweeper game - revamped with your feedback (minesweeperpro.com)

Hi everyone! First of all, the response from last time really was overwhelming, at one point even reaching 54 concurrent players, so thank you for that! (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43398081)

Secondly, I wanted to provide the final revamped game based on all your feedback. Several common themes from the comments lead to some major improvements:

• Many people found the rate limit restrictive, while others found the game to sometimes be too quick. The solution to this was creating three separate modes, each one having a different rate limit and grid size. Now players can pick a more casual, intermediate, or competitive game.

• The scoring system needed some changes. Rewards for correctly clearing and flagging cells are now the same. Also, incorrect actions now result in a higher penalty.

• People were looking for features to better connect with other players. So now it's possible to customize your player name and also chat with others in the same game.
