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
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?

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.
Love the idea, but for some reasons, the UI was all messed up for me , here is a screenshot of it :
Hmm thanks for the screenshot - I can reproduce this if I zoom in on the page in my browser. If you zoom out on the page, does that fix the problem? We did not make our UI scalable for different resolutions so possibly that's why this is happening
There have been some reports that the game's viewports do not scale correctly on non 16:9 aspect ratio resolutions. A workaround fix would probably be to set your desktop resolution to 1280x720, or 1920x1080. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Nice graphs, nice audios, it was creative to change minesweeper to something like that. Best game I've played so far. Nice job!
It is the best puzzle game I have played in this jam so far. Instead of diving deeper, you choose to dig deeper. The idea of combining a classic game in this case minesweeper, which another game is not very new, but it is well done in this case. I did not get how the house and quary works in the first a couple of level, but I got it figured out, and I finished the game. I like this sketch like art-style, the music and the sound effect is not amazing but it fits well. This is one small issue that I found, sometimes I can not place building at the left of the first row. In general it is well designed and very polished. Great Job
Also, if you have time, please take a lot at my game, thank you.
An interesting game,
but I did not understand how to play and where the theme is revealed
- my game https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-10/rate/2236838
nice game
It's one of the best I've played at the jam so far. I like how you've built the UI, the artwork and the font you've chosen, and that together with the music creates an interesting atmosphere for the game. I also liked the gameplay and how you integrated the game with the minesweeper concept.
One possible problem is that I think a lot of people have difficulty playing minesweeper, and maybe if they don't know the rules, they might struggle with this game. But as I've always liked minesweeper, it wasn't a problem.
Thanks for playing! we knew we'd have a bunch of tutorializing to do and the thought of also teaching minesweeper was daunting, but def a barrier to entry.
Took me a round to figure out what to do, but then it's a great game all the way through.
Nice graphics, not gonna lie! And I see you made them all by yourself? That's highly impressive.
I like the combination of a classic game with some twist. So nothing to complain about at this place!
Only one thing about feedback maybe: I found it a little difficult to understand why I could not place some buildings. Of couse I could read the help texts but at first, this is a huge flood of text. Maybe, direct feedback (like a popup "you need a minecart near!") could make this a little more handy.
Apart from that, awesome job!
Appreciated! We tried to have more natural player feedback through the context bar at the bottom of the screen, but we did miss a couple of things
Me not understand
I have problem, just part of minesweeper field is visible, and I cant find fullscreen button. I hope you can fix this because I JUST LOVE how looks and sounds this and I want to try it properly so bad!
I did personally find in testing for whatever reason that the game's viewport was messed up in opera GX. It seemed ok in chrome and edge though
