That is a very original idea, I liked it. The first try I literally got destroyed by a random potato snail and got zero points, but maybe I am just bad at the game. I am still impressed by the creativity.

How does you game fit the theme?
The story of the game is that your garden is infested wit vegetable snail hybrids (it makes more sense in-game). Some of your crops are real, and some of them are not real.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
No:

made by Zacchary Dempsey-Plante.
• Music: "8 Bit Play" By HeatleyBros

The turn based gameplay and minesweeper mix is brilliant, although the battles were often predictable and some a bit boring. Overall I enjoyed the game!
Nice game! I love the art and how the snails are hiding as crops. I think it's a cool idea. The battles could be a little more balanced, as you really only need to spam attack until the snail decides to stop healing its self. Anyway, great job!
It has potential to be something good, and the art is really great yet its lacking in the fun aspect since there isn't to much to do in it.

Really fun and original! Although I suck at games and never beat any of the snails :(

Cool Concept!
the idea of joining minesweeper and a turn based game is nice but i find the gameplay a bit slow, especially the fighting, also i think an interesting addition would be to make the score affect the player's stats in the fighting instead of just being a score for itself

Neat game! I love this mix between Minesweeper and the pokemon battle mechanic, brings a little more tactic in the minesweeper logic :)
Really fun to play ! I love the art and the gameplay is quite inventive ! Now I can say that I once played a game which was a mix between Pokemon and Minesweeper. The combats are a bit too long, but really fun game ! It could definitely be a full release.
Nicely done! I'm a sucker for these kind of genre/mechanic mashups! The combat was a bit boring and slow, but I just love the idea!
