How does your game fit the theme?
1. Mechanically: The overall metagame plays like a puzzle/city-builder, then you "dive into" exploring the minesweeper board to gather resources and clear space for the city builder
2. Thematically: The dwarves must dive "deeper" into the mine in order to gather the resources necessary to accomplish their goals

I had so much fun playing this game, it looks great and the gameplay is really clever. Nice work!
Hi, would it be ok if I show your game in a recap video for this jam?
Hi, absolutely, thanks! And please share it when you release it :)

Overall a great game. The tutorial was a bit difficult to read, and I am not sure I ever understood all the game mechanics. But anyway I had fun trying the game. Well done.
Best jam game I've played so far! What an amazing idea, and very compelling. To get enough stone to have a buffer by the next level, you have to have done really well at the minesweeper puzzle for multiple levels in a row. It's extremely clever and well thought out, I'll probably give it a few plays! It looks and sounds wonderful too, serious credit to DefectiveMelon for their work. I'd have played this for hours on a flash game website as a kid, that's the highest praise I can give a game
Thanks so much for your kind words fellow dwarf game dev :)
Whoa such an interesting and unique concept, well done!
Interesting take on the theme, and nice graphics ! Really nice game !
Great game! A bit random due to Minesweeper's nature but fun and innovative!
I liked the idea and visual effects in the game. Very cool art
Very cool idea and artstyle.
This is such an amazing game! it doesn't even need a lot more for a full release, just maybe some extra buildings and abilities, the gameplay loop is addictive, fun and challenging, adding more layers into the basic minesweeper concept, amazingly done, good job!
Wow, what a game. This was literally a rollercoaster of emotions. The fear I felt each time I defenselessly clicked a tile. The thrill of victory. The satisfaction of strategically placing minecarts to maximise my quarry building. I promise that I'm being completely serious when I say that this game was amazing!
I liked the merging of two other games into one! This is interesting!
This is a fantastic game! The visuals and the audio are so unique and well crafted, the game itself is fun and engaging. I had a lot of fun!
What a great little game you have here a nice take on the theme with the merging of 2 game types you never would think of putting together. Gameplay was nice and polished art style was amazing well done guys for making it all. For a week this is very impressive well done
This game is so underrated, absolutely love the art style and the whole concept and gameplay. The toggle on UI / tutorial to understand the game is also super helpful. It's beautiful and I can't believe this was made in a week, and that all the art and code was made from scratch! And by just two people? Damn, hmu if you ever need a writer!
Omg this made my day, I'm glad you enjoyed it so much -- will do!
Very innovative game combining Minesweeper and building. I really like the consistent art style
Thanks for your thoughtful feedback, Poop Dollar
Very interesting take to make minesweeper something new. Very well done!!
Amazing! what a clever spin on minesweeper :D
Wow! I love the concept! Not challenging, but not easy. its in just the right place where its a fun puzzle for anyone to enjoy! The city building concept really had me thinking how to get the win as fast as possible!
wow nice game and unique art style. In a short amount of time you came up with nice idea.
