Nice idea to use some Minesweeper mechanics.
It's just a little bit confusing, that mines in a rock won't count when it is scanned (only those of it's neigbours).

I'm studying robotics at college, so I love anything thats related to robot, your game is really fun and the grapics are wonderful!
Can't figure out what to do, good graphics, theme-based and audio though
The hold click control its a bit stiff but other than that looks good ^^
A LITTLE PRECISION ABOUT PROSPECTION :
Each cell number represent the number of bombs in their neighborhood BUT EXCLUDING themselves.
took me a minute to get it - nice one :)
Very cool idea, and I loved the graphics! I looked very polished and professional! :)
Really cute and fun! :)
For the love of God I wanted to play this game, but could not figure out how to dig the rocks.
I really love the minesweeper mix. Maybe I'm looking at it wrong, but I keep having spaces with "0" blow up when I dig them. You could make it slightly more PC friendly if you hat space or tab toggle between prospect and dig modes.
Really nice graphics and the concept is quite nice. I couldn't figure out what to do, so I quit the game. But I went back to try it out again and I noticed the tutorial. I think you should do a better job with it. Move it above the start button. And make it short, just write in simple sentences: "hold button to dig", etc.
And it would be nice if you would map the switch between prospect and dig mode to a button, RMB or something.
Nice work
Cute game, graphics look great!
It's a fun little game. I think that the controls could be better explained. I didn't realize that when I marked rocks in prospect mode that they could no longer be broken in dig mode. I also love the audio, but it failed a few times. I would start playing, die, restart and the audio would be lost.
Thanks for all your comments and advices.
I've just pushed a post-compo version with small adjustments.
Hope you'll enjoy !
Good graphics and idea! But I agree that controls could be better explained.
They are explained, but not within the game ... I had a hard time figuring them out but then I found them hidden in the text on the first page after clicking the link to the Web-Version:
"... You can LONG CLICK where you think there is a mine to "flag" it. ... you can dig some rocks around to find hidden gems by long clicking them ..."
Nice game. I love minesweeper and this was an interesting spin on a classic idea.
Neat idea to make a classic abstract game less abstract.
I didn't get any audio in Firefox. I would have been happier if the clicking had an effect immediately, instead of having to hold down the button while the robot drills. Falling through the hold in the floor didn't make much sense to me. I'm not sure what triggered it.
It seems cool, and I liked the graphic and sounds,
but I didn't understand how to dig this stones...
Great take on the Minesweeper mechanics! The hold-to-activate control needs a little feedback (perhaps a little animation to show you're doing something). This would work well on a touchscreen.
Nice graphics and I loved the mine sweeper aspect. :)
Maybe a different way to mine through rocks would be better instead of a long-hold.
If you where to improve on the game, I would strongly suggest to give feedback via sound and / or animation upon clicking on a rock. Something like a drill sound on rock and rock debris flying.
Good job making a mine sweeper game with a twist :)
Cool idea ;) The controls were confusing at first but then I got used to it and could complete it easily!
