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:
• Pixellari (Font font used in this game) was
made by Zacchary Dempsey-Plante.
• Music: "8 Bit Play" By HeatleyBros

• Music: "Quirkii" By HeatleyBros

• Base of the battle system made by Brackeys
(asset downloadable in the description).

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.
Thank you! Yeah potato snails are brutal haha
Very Nice Game
thanks :)
I love minesweeper. Grew up playing it on my dad's old pc. This new take on that game is very interesting. The colors are amazing, the sound is perfect. Good job!
Thank you!
Arts are amazing and the game is good as well
Thanks!
Can u check out our game to if u don't mind
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!
I agree, the battles are boring, and I plan on expanding them and making them better overall in the future. Thanks for playing!
Great art and concept, i didn´t understand the game but looks good!
Sorry to hear that, thanks for checking it out!
This game is a 9/10! I think it has a lot of potential and I love the art and the innovative mechanic XD
9/10! Wow! Thanks for playing!
Great Job! I like the art though, but I think its better to make the game a little fast and it would be also great if you add some some score board, and with the idea of minesweeping and pokemon mixed is Great!
Thanks!
Cool concept, combining 2 games into 1. However it is a bit slow and needs some polish :)
Thanks! Yeah, the game is quite buggy and is barely standing on it's legs but it works for a game jam :)
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!
Yeah, the battle system could use a lot of work and I have a bunch of ideas on how to make it better in the future. Thanks for playing!
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.

Thanks for the feedback!
Really fun and original! Although I suck at games and never beat any of the snails :(
Rate Blob Buster by iamoshamokotwin for Brackeys Game Jam 2022.1 - itch.io
Thanks! The tactic to beat with every snail exept for the buff potato snail is to attack a lot. With the Buff Potato Snail, it's the contrary (heal a lot).
Thanks!
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

#EASTEREGG!
I was thinking of making the game better, and that's definitely something I'll add. Thanks for playing!
Neat game! I love this mix between Minesweeper and the pokemon battle mechanic, brings a little more tactic in the minesweeper logic :)
Thanks! That's exactly what I was doing for, so I'm glad that you felt that :)
Cool Game !
A nice way to remake sweepminer !
(#EASTEREGG hehe)
#EASTEREGG hehe :) Thanks for playing!
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.
Thanks for the positive feedback! I was definitelly thinking of making it 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!
Thanks a lot! I might make the combat a better when I work again on this game (or I might remake it completely who knows).
cool little game. love the pixel art!
Thanks! I agree, it's probably the best pixel art I've ever done in a game in my opinion.
great job!
