I was hoping I'd see a Motherload entry with this theme! The Minesweeper crossover was unexpected but in retrospect makes perfect sense. I really enjoyed my time with this one, and would love to see it expanded on in a full release :wink: Great work!

Very interesting idea. Plays very smoothly.

Plays nice, very good game design and concept. The art and atmosphere are lovely! If there one thing I would say is that while the music itself is very pleasant, the digging SFX became annoying quite quickly.
Good job! Looks like you guys had fun on this one, and it shows :)
Nice concept! I love the art!!

I liked your game and spent quite a bit of time on it!
I would have enjoyed more challenge because it all felt too easy. But the game loop and digging was satisfaying enough to keep me hooked and try to buy the costlier upgrades (even though I didn't managed to use the flag. Looks like it didn't work ?). I was a bit puzzled by the rock that you can't mine with your drill. I did figure to use the TNT on them but only after quite some time and I'm not sure if the TNT gets you the exploded ore ? (BTW there was a minor bug where the numbers wouldn't refresh correctly when using the TNT. And I'm not sure if the scanner is bugged or not but I couldn't quite figure what to make out of the numbers.)
Like the person above I found the digging SFX to quickly become annoying but I found the music really nice and well done.
Overall well done :)

Very cool game. I love the idea of changing up minesweeper so that desirable objects are also given numbers- and when there are orange numbers you're not sure which are mines and which are ore. Although in practice I just stocked up on TNT and took a few steps back. This is a great concept for a game, I had a lot of fun with it. And the art was really cute too.

Wow awesome game, nice fresh take on minesweeper. The music is awesome too!
I really love your Idea, it's very well though of and quite frankly I had a ton of fun. The upgrades should be more balances, I kept loosing minerals because my inventory was full, and the upgrade didn't add much to my capacity. Also, between the shield and huge life amount, it doesn't fell very threatening to hit a mine. But the concept really is great !

A very interesting interpretation of the minesweeper genre. It was fun to play, I would like more pleasant effects of block destruction, which would add to the involvement in the process. Thank you
maybe the game is too easy, I have never run into a mine so it was just easy farming and buying but nice concept, good job !

Incredibly fun game, especially for someone who played minesweeper alot during highschool! I liked the upgrades and the game design, could have been more of a challenge overall but that's the cherry on top.
TNT was busted imo :laughing: I bought a bunch of them late-game, haha

@sn4pi yea the TNT was a bit underwelming in the start. we buffed it to collects the ore just so it is fun for the jam. I think of making it so it will destroy some of the ore or deduct score for the end. Don't know yet and going to discuss it with the team. Probably going to have a big update after the jam as we currently only fixed some major problems or unwanted behavior.
Nice game! And i really love that team photo! PPl you are awesome! <3 Also like how does game feel. And puppy in shop =))
