Fun experience! I'm terrible at this game hahahaahah

Submitted

The game became more fun as I progressed, and your effort really shows — I really enjoyed it

Submitted

I’ve always loved Minesweeper - and this is such a creative twist on the classic!

The concept is fresh and engaging, bringing a new layer of strategy to a familiar format.
That said, I really missed the ability to place flags. I often found myself second-guessing the same tile repeatedly, wondering if it was dangerous. With flags, I could’ve simply marked it and moved on with more confidence.

With a bit more development, this could evolve into a truly fun and addictive game!

Nice twist on Minesweeper i really liked it! It would be nice if i can jump more fields if i already explored the tiles and not one after another ;)

Submitted

This game was a very fun twist on Minesweeper! While the gameplay itself was pretty much like the classic, the new collectibles helped switch things up. All the art looked great and the soundtrack and sound effects sounded good as well. Overall level of polish is commendable!

Submitted

I liked it a lot. was pretty fun and the risk theme felt in every moment

Wow this is cool! I've always loved minesweeper, so I enjoyed your unique take on it! Love the music, art, and vibe! The leaderboard is a fun addition too! Only suggestion is that you pause the game/timer when the player is looking at the leaderboard or how to play screen, but other than that amazing!

Cool take on Minesweeper! Very unique kind of game, but I'm no minesweeper player, so I wasn't exactly good at it. I will say that I do wish I could know a bit more about the board, as although it may be built off of minesweeper, it's still a different kind of puzzle game. The goggles and clover help with that a decent amount, but I still ended up losing to a bug I wouldn't have known about. Other then that, I managed to beat the beginner and intermediate levels, and I had quite a good time! It also feels quite polished, very nicely put together. The leaderboard is also fun, I tied first place on beginner for the heck of it. Cool stuff!

Nice game 

Submitted

Nice this was pretty fun, hard tho, i suck at minesweeper :( 

Submitted

as a minesweeper connoisseur, this aint bad! I love the art and the gameplay, minesweeper IS the risky game Idek how not much games are inspired from it, goodjob!

Submitted

Really fun game! A nice implementation of the minesweeper game! Good job! 

Submitted

Damn i spent too much time on the minesweeper when I was young, this was refreshing! Very cool

Submitted

I am not good at Minesweeper at all I just walked along the numbers and it worked!

Solid game though - can't go wrong!

Submitted

Super Solid game, I'm not too good at Minesweeper, but the game with the addition of the leaderboard feature is really cool. I wish I could create a leaderboard feature like yours and implement it into mine. Its super clean and straight to the point.

Thanks for playing! Regarding the leaderboard, I use Firebase with anonymous login (only a username is required). Supabase is another option, and both are free up to a point. I’m not sure how you’re developing, but I’m sure there’s a way to connect to it.

Submitted

As a minesweeper fan I can say this is an extremely fun game! The only thing I’m missing is flagging fields because makes the hardest mode slightly too demanding (at least for me) but otherwise I love it and the background music also suits it well :)

Submitted

Nice take on the mine sweeper game

Submitted

Had a good time, wish I could move to any open spot that I had already walked over. Other than that, good game I ended up halfway up the leaderboard and I want to get the top spot but I can only bash my head against monsters so much. 

Submitted

Very good take on minesweeper! I kinda wish there were flags but ultimately that's not really necessary of course. I also got to the top of the leaderboards and in trying to do so the connection to the game jam's theme became really strong. To get cookies whilst avoiding enemies or keeping time low, it's sometimes worth it to just risk blowing up a bomb instead of taking the long way around.

Submitted

Awesome work! So much polish for a jam gam, especially the fact that you've included a leaderboard. You could definitely work on this a tad more and release this
