Cool concept, love the fact that there's a suicide button

fun game to play, more interactive mine sweeper

Great concept, turning Minesweeper into a platformer is amazing! I spent quite a while hunting for diamonds, toally hooked. The music fits perfectly, and I absolutely love the art style.

pretty good

Very interesting mix of mining and minesweeper! This idea was really creative and I would love to see it expanded more. Would love it if there were tools and abilities that help determine whether bombs. Amazing game, I really enjoyed this a lot.

Damn it looked so simple, but once you understand whats going on, you really have to think and calculate your risk! very cool concept! its like a mixure between minesweeper and motherload!! really cool

Groovy music dude

jhonny111 2025-10-06 22:51

Took me a minute to get behind it, but then it was super fun. Loved it.

I love that you combined it with minesweeper. Very cool idea

Great combination of familiar genres, and the game feels polished and well-made. Platformer controls are good and I learned how to play in an instant.

Would be cool if there also were some action mechanics commonly seen in platformer games like surprise enemies jumping on you out of blocks or other kinds of traps.

I got 2820 points and killed myself at the bottom of the level: there was nowhere to dig. And it's a good thing, who knows how long would I play if this game was endless. 😂

Enjoyable game with a nice combination of two classic ideas. The controlls feel clear and smooth, the sound design is on point!

This was a super clever game idea! And executed really well too. Especially as you get deeper it gets very interesting, since you really have to dig around where bombs might be. And sometimes you can use logic to deduce whether a tile is safe, such that you dont have to go around (as long as you are correct of course, which I often wasnt :P). Perhaps there could be a reward for going down faster, such that you are forced to use deduction more? Just a thought.

Really well done! I loved the creativity :)

Hahaha I have the worst luck, every time I have a '1' I pick that one XD Physics feels good and the concept is fun, great work!

> Perhaps there could be a reward for going down faster, such that you are forced to use deduction more? Just a thought.

@wuppos this is a great point, I'd say we are missing some mechanics / incentives to push players deeper in the mine. I think it would be great if there was an objective of some kind down there, like a formal end of the level, or just better rewards (but also, more hazards), etc.

I love the minesweeper! Amazing style and great idea to move as a character!💜⭐💜

web-gnar 2025-10-07 23:06

i love the music. and the sprites and the movement feels super good. how do i dig? one square allowed me to crack it. i got frustrated because i was trying to dig downward and couldn't figure out how to do it.

2025-10-08 08:48

woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow. its cool

2025-10-08 08:49

gameplay is cool but i cant clearly see the goal

preef 2025-10-08 09:05

> gameplay is cool but i cant clearly see the goal

We haven't decided on a goal yet, besides getting a high score :smile:

preef 2025-10-08 09:06

> how do i dig?

@web-gnar you dig with the left mouse button or the `f` key. You can rebind these controls in the settings.

yuriscat 2025-10-08 09:20

This cover cracked me up, every explosion comes so suddenly. After getting blown up a few times, I think it would be better if there were more upgrade options? Interesting game, haha.

dankotay 2025-10-08 09:53

Wow, the fact that some blocks are mined was unexpected, the game itself is cool, you feel like you're in some kind of Minecraft

ira-baciu 2025-10-08 10:32

"x kills the player at any time" LMAO

bakilin 2025-10-08 12:02

fun and challenging

mobo-613 2025-10-08 17:33

Good job. Maybe we can place some flags like in Minesweeper to defuse the bombs.

danicoredj 2025-10-08 19:24

boom

skel3ton 2025-10-08 19:32

cool idea... I love it.. but I am to stupid to get in lower depths :D nice graphic and music great entry

andruid 2025-10-08 20:44

I did not expect it to be so fun! When I noticed several minutes had passed already. It's kinda of a nice revisit to minesweeper. The music is short but the style contributes to the mood. Congratulations on your submission and thanks for reviewing our game too!

gross-papillon 2025-10-22 03:25

Really great mix of minesweeper and dig dug! I hope you keep running with this idea, it's unique!
