I really enjoyed this once I got the hang of it :) Well done !

Submitted(+1)

kinda entertaining i guess. just maybe i didnt play it enough to understand the concept but it seemed to based off luck

Developer

Well actualy it isnt.  But is my fault that i didnt provide proper tutorial:

-like you can switch mine shapes and change orientation while in game which is kind of esential.

A really challenging, but really rewarding game. Haven't managed to win yet, but will keep trying!

I really like the idea but I found the game a little too difficult. It may need a little more aid to help identify where things are. If you play minesweeper you don’t get a single number, every time you uncover a spot you may get up to 8 adjacent numbers. Then you can use overlaps and the numbers to figure out safe spots. I started playing and I was lucky that I placed a box and I got a 0, then I was safely placing boxes on the 4 corners of each box, as if it was traditional minesweeper and that was a good strategy, I could not devise any other strategy otherwise. I may also recommend/ask if there was a way to start a level with at least one shape placed in a safe spot to have something to start with.

Developer

Yes verry good feeback. first i will you last question. I can definitely do the last thing make predetermined free spot. The box strategy. Yes is kind of hard. But idea was you will sellect different shape and kind of strategize how you place stuff. You can switch shapes. i think i should make tutorial.

This is a really cool idea. It's really challenging, need to go back and try again to see if I can win a round. Great job on this, I love minesweeper and it's cool to see such a unique spin on it.

Developer

Thank you and good luck.

What a game. I think you start in middle. on the bubble one.

Submitted

Yep, hahaha

Woah... I really loved this game, it's super hard but there are plenty of tools in the arsenal to figure it out. My personal favorite is the duck shaped detector.

Just kidding it's the bubble, but the duck one is great too

Great spin on Minesweeper. Although I had problems beating it :D

Developer

Thank you. And dont worry me too :D. I will think about adding more options like changing number of mines or making new interesting shapes.

This is a really clever and unique take on MineSweeper.  Much harder, but also much more rewarding.  Definitely one of my favorite games so far.  Excellent!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for feedback! Glad you like it.

Omg this is insanely good! What a great idea / execution, I had so much fun. Didn't win yet tho, I will definitely return to complete this after I've tried out all the other games.

Developer

Thank you so much. I am so glad to hear it and God luck for when you come back!

Very cool idea with a lot of potential! I found it a little too easy just to spam the extending rectangular shape to win. I would love to see this developed further with some balancing tweaks. Well done!

Yes. You are Right, but so that's why I add challenges, which are not very visible in retrospect. You can open them by clicking on button next to tutorial. And there is list of challenges how you can play game. And most of them are very hard. By clicking on one of them will show you how to earn them.
