Great idea and execution :) I really liked the snail types, and the pokemon vibe. Keep it up! One thing that bothered me was fighting. It was a bit slow overall and randomly missing attacks, quite unsatisfactory.

Developer

I was thinking about expanding on this concept and making the game a full release, so the battle system will be a lot better, because the current one is quite boring.

Thanks for playing!

As someone who's really into minesweeper, I absolutely love this. Buff potato snail my beloved. #EASTEREGG

#EASTEREGG I got it after my first battle! 
Everything is put together really well! I like how it goes from a minesweeper to a pokemon battle! Sound effects for the actions taken during battle would make it more exciting! Great job!

Developer

Thanks for thee feedback!

I will definitely be adding sfx ro the game as I am thinking of making it a full release.

Nice little game! I loved the art style and the music. Also I liked the pokemon-like battles

Thanks for playing!

I'm glad that you liked everything, the music was made by HeatleyBros (link for this in the description) :D

I cleared the field but game didn't proceed any further. Is it a bug? Also there was a bug where one number showed 1 even though there was 2 mines nearby. Minesweeping was fun, but I found the battle a bit too time consuming. Nice art & gameplay. #easteregg  :)

Developer

The level was made by hand, so maybe that was an error in my part. No one told it to me though, could tou send me a screenshot?

And for the second bug I don’t know what happened there, it normally works fine, but I apologize for that.

Thanks for playing!

If it's the same level always the problem is here.


The ending may have bugged because I left most of the mines for last. And at least once I was able to attack two crops before the fighting scene loaded.


Developer

1. Thanks for the clarification! I’ll fix it as an update.

2.Yeah you can attack 2 or more enemies at once and I’m certain that it caused the problem.

Good luck in the jam!

This is a really fun game! I loved this new take on Minesweeper! But the delays are too long and, since you get no points, there is no reason to battle :') The battle system is also very repetitive. But besides that, I think you have a really nice game! Great work ^^

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing!

All of these common pieces of feedback will be fixed as I am thinking of making the game a full release.

This idea is great, the mechanics feel nice and the are is also pretty cool. The only "problem" I find, is that combat becomes too repetitive, its like, attack until I´m at risk, heal, continue attacking, anyways, it was made for a jam so I know for a fact you can do something better with more time. Great work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback!

I’m just going to say it once and for all, the battle system SUCKS, and  I am fully aware of it. I like to say that this projects is barely standing on its legs, and I’m eternally grateful for all the feedback I got, because honestly I would have excepted about 70% less attention on this game.

I will be improving on a lot of aspects on this game, as I’ thinking about making it a full release (this is a prototype).

Good luck in the jam!

I really liked your game, the only problem here is there's a lag here and there, the delay of the game is ruining the experience but I am playing it as if it's a full game without a bug, and I rate this 10/10 because it's really fun Minesweeper + pokemon.

Thanks! I apologize for the lag, it didn’t happen on my part

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

Hah I knew it! From the screenshot you provided on my post, Im glad people are still referring to his tutorials one of the best ones you will find for unity

Anyways, great game and looks very polished I liked that it was kind of split into 2 different pieces of games, very well done and sound track fits with the pixel art nicely

Developer

Haha I’m glad a lot of people still love brackeys.

Thanks for the positive feedback! I’ll be making this a full release in the future, so look out for that!👀

Such a great concept :)

This is an awesome game, it has cool graphics, nice music, but I think this would benefit  from a start battle sound and some pickup and attack sounds. Overall an awesome job :D.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! I'm definitely going to implement all of those, because I'm thinking of expanding on this concept and making this game a full release.

#easteregg This is another one of my favorites I have played, not too hard and super creative take on the theme! Good job and keep it up :)

#easteregg 😂

as someone who really likes minesweeper, this was a nice game for me.

My only issue is that the turn-based combat segments are extremely repetitive almost always following the same pattern, I always miss every other attack and they always heal right after my attack

which ofc is due to happen with only 2 possibilities so maybe more options and tweaked rates would make it less repetitive. 

That being said the art was really cool, the triple continuous back flips and front flips at the same time had me laughing 😂

and finally, the fact it takes a couple of seconds to see the numbers after each vegetable pick up is also a bit weird since it's supposed to be more responsive.


All in all, I enjoyed playing, good job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing!

I agree with everything you said, and I'll try to fix them in the future, as I'm planning on making this a full release (this is a prototype)

I'm glad the backflips and front flips made you laugh haha

creative idea, the music was good, did lost many points in the beginning but then got the hang of it, 

great job!

Very interesting and original concept ! the audio is also fun and engaging and it is not too difficult, Excellent job ^^

Interesting and fun concept! My only complaint is that whenever you pickup a vegetable it takes some seconds for it to register. Otherwise pretty fun game! I'd appreciate if you'd play my game too!

Developer

Yeah, the delay is caused because of the dialogue. I tried to fix it but it broke everything, and because of that I almost gave up on the whole game. But thankfully I managed to get everything back to normal, but the problem is unfortunately still in the project.

Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

the core concept is great and the art is also lovely, while the process of dialogue and battle system slows down the pace and make me feel a little bit impatient. (I saw some comments also mention this so I am not going to describe in detail XD)

Developer

Yea and I’m not going to go in detail as how I’m going to fix this because I replied it way to many times haha

Thanks for playing!

#easteregg

The game is full of personality! The characters and art are cute and alive! Minesweeper is always a good base to build off of for a game. The turn-based combat feels awful, though. You miss way too often, and the variety in combat is very lacking. Dialogue and conversations take ages to end as well. This makes fights drag out for ages. Overall, it feels more like a cute minesweeper reskin instead of a unique game. Still impressive, though!
