Intresting game! I can still click on the bug already revealed, and will reach negative remaining bugs. I think it is a bug?

Very interesting game - I had a lot of fun playing it! Minesweeper addict myself, so seeing a variation on it like this was very exciting. Great job!

Super interesting take on mine sweeper! i love the little theme and the flower with a gun.

its honestly super compelling and makes me wonder what a full indie minesweeper-based rougelike/RPG could be like!

I think it could definitely work! I'm sort of imagining of maybe loot "mines" and stuff like that, and a boss mine.

@loco Yes, that is a bug, thanks for pointing it out! I saw that bug in the last minute. It's easy to fix, but I think I'll fix it after the jam is over.

@jemh2k @rodney-fan thanks! I enjoyed your games as well!

As a fellow Mamono Sweeper enjoyer, I was really happy to see this take on the theme. :D Would definitely be interested in one that took the RPG elements even further!

Very nice idea, I'm not great at minesweeper but the little mix of combat makes it a lot more fun!

This is an interesting twist on Minesweeper! I love the idea of a flower shooting at bugs—it’s delightful. It’s challenging without the ability to flag, but I appreciate that mistakes aren’t fatal. A healing feature could be a nice addition!

I love minesweeper so much but I never expected to see one here. I am quite please right now! I like that you kept both game modes available. Tried both and enjoyed them thoroughly. Nice twist on the game. Well done!

Neat mechanic well executed, very solid jam game!

hubol 2024-10-11 02:26

Very charming! The absurdity of the flower with a gun is great. The level-up mechanic is great. I really dig this. I wish it had audio!!

Really neat twist on classic minesweeper and fun to play! As someone that isn't the best minesweeperer but still like the core gameplay I especially like that its not instantly fatal if you get something "wrong" (I suppose it's not really "wrong" in this version) I could see this as a game similar to DemonCrawl with upgrades, multiple levels, etc!

When I noticed the flower had a gun, I thought that was the funniest thing about the game. I like how this game makes it so that you actually feel like going through a minesweeper match if you're a minesweeper noob like me, maybe as like a "Casual practice" minesweeper mode. It would be cool to see other concepts applied to it, as well!

I had fun! Interesting take on minesweeper. It's much less punishing, but I could see this turning into a very in depth game if you were to continue development!

The idea of adding combat elements to the Minesweeper game is great, and I even got a classic mode, which is really awesome. The graphics are simple and fresh but fit the game theme very well. The flower holding a gun made me laugh XD

Original twist on the minesweeper formula! At first, I did'nt read the description and did'nt understand why the numbers did'nt seem to correspond to the numbers of catterpillars around a cell. Once I read it, the gameplay was super understandable.

Everything looks fine and polished enough. The game would benefit from having music and sound FX. I see that you did'nt opt out of audio, so I may have encountered an issue, I don't know.

As other said, I can imagine an expanded version of this game, and that could be a cool thing.

fis 2024-10-11 14:41

that is a really interesting idea - making you flag the mines in some order that is to be handled by the flower

well done!

@hubol @chocolat-endive Correct, the game doesn't have any audio and sfx. I have no musical ability and always had trouble with this part in jams, so I decided not to worry about it at all this time 😅 (didn't choose opt out because the compo guideline said it's not optional, but maybe it just means you must have original sfx? not sure, but I don't mind getting the last place in that category haha)

@astrayrae I have not heard of that game! Definitely checking it out.
