Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
No:
• Pixellari (Font font used in this game) was
made by Zacchary Dempsey-Plante.
• Music: "8 Bit Play" By HeatleyBros

#EASTEREGG, though i think I accidentally glitched out the ending. Fun game, super cute, fighting mechanic is a bit slow, but I enjoyed it!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Yes the game is a glitchy mess haha

Great job! I really liked the music of the game and the graphics, I have never played minesweeper in my life but I loved it anyway, the battles are like pokemon because of the position of the health bar, hahaha. And you can rate mine too:

The idea is really great, and the graphics are awesome as well !

Though, for the game to be really funny and addictive, the "pokemon style" battles would require more variety (I know it would have been really hard to do in just a week though ^^).

You could even let the player buy new skills with the harvested vegetables :D

Good job !

Developer

Thanks for playing! The battle system is quite boring at the moment but I’m working on it! So keep your eyes open for that 👀! Haha

#EASTEREGG I love the fusion of pokemon/minesweeper, very creative! good work!

Developer

Thanks for playing :D

I beat the game! #EASTEREGG. I would have liked to see a victory screen :D

The idea was interesting to combine minesweeper with turn-based battles, but I think the battles were far too easy and predictable.

Good job making the game look polished though!

Developer(+1)

huh, that's weird, there is a win screen... It must be a bug then

I'm currently expanding on the game and making the battle system better :)

Thanks for playing!

Nice game, graphics, and music were good, Like the puzzling minesweeper mixed with the turn-based combat mixed with plant snails, great game!

Cool stuff. I was a bit frustrated since I kept missing but I think the concept of the game was neat.

Cool concept! I really love the game, but I wish the game was a bit faster paced.  The fact that the attack always misses after a successful hit makes the battle unfun and annoying, so a varied or reworked battle system could be really help take the take the game to the next level. Nonetheless, I love the bmg and the fact that a genre that doesn't seem to go together creates an enjoyable experience!

Loved this game, really felt polished! I really love the art and music!

At first I did not know if there even was sound since it did not play in the menu and there was no sound when clicking buttons, both of which something that you should totally add! Next I agree with what No whOne said about the delay and having no idea what vegetable your selecting. The delay definitely needs to be fixed. Next is the battle system. You miss too much, that's really it, the chance of missing is too high for me I missed just about every other turn (maybe its supposed to be like that either way the chance is way to high). In fact you might not even need the missing mechanic, the only reason it works in Pokemon is because they have moves that can increase/decrease the chance of missing. Without that its just random which is kind of annoying.

Other than that its good! Even if im not that good at minesweeper lol.

P.S. #EASTEREGG

Cute game! I love the artstyle and the music, giving this a cute vibe to it. The Minesweeper part is enjoyable, I love that there are different plants and each plant corresponds to a different type of enemy, but there are a few problems... 1st is obviously that there is a delay, which I think IF it is unfixable, can be patched with a simple loading animation of some sort. 2nd is that there is no indication of which plant you are currently selecting, it is minor but still would be very helpful. Next, the battle system, I won't go into detail about this since I've seen many other comments talking about it, but I love the different types of enemies and their different archetypes... I especially love the little potato guy or something who has little health, but does good damage and heals a lot. Also the little text when different enemies show up are also a nice touch. The tutorial was, however, too much text to read, an interactive tutorial would be better but I get it, time, but also there is no music on the tutorial. There also seems to be a lack of an ending? first I finished harvesting all the crops... Then nothing happened, and then I finished killing all the snails, and still nothing happened. Maybe it was the #EASTEREGG thingy? idk.  With all that said, I also like the idea of combining minesweeper with pokemon, but I feel that there should only be a harvest button and no battle button, there didn't really seem to be a point in that. All in all, it was a good game! Well done!

Developer

Thanks for the review! I'm definitely going to implement all of these changes as I'm currently expanding on this game :)

Good luck in the jam!

Here is a video review for you. Hope it helps. 

Developer(+1)

Thank you for making this!

I was thinking of making this game a full release, and this is a really good summary of all the feedback I got.

One piece of feedback I didn't expect is the blurry pixel art, but I completely agree with it.

Thanks for playing!

Good luck in the jam :D
