One neat subtle bit of design that I love here is that it's a Sokoban-type puzzler in a sense, but the player is indistinguishable from the items they're pushing. When you yourself are an element to the solution (ie which "boulders" are placed where, and you're also one of those boulders), it adds an extra layer of depth to the puzzles.

Anyway, some levels are really clever, but some levels can be really chaotic in trying to predict what numbers will appear where. The latter feel less satisfying because they can be a bit "fiddle to win".

But overall I think the game is really clever and a great idea that I never would've thought of. It fuses Sokoban and Minesweeper together great and keeps both of their mechanics.

My gawd it was nice beating the game - I wasted so much time at the last level just because I kept missing the final move somehow - tunnel vision sucks lol. I wonder what the game would be like on a larger scale - like a bigger grid for example xD

Really nice puzzler with solid level design. It will break your brain though, especially if you've played the original Mine Sweeper xD Great work!

This game is amazing. Had really fun playing it (5/5 might be in the top 100, hopefully). The levels are really challenging but I had fun doing them. Well done!

I appreciate if you check out my game too :)

Really cool game with great difficulty!

I love the idea of this and the music is great!

Great submission to this game jam, congrats! You should have even more ratings in my opinion!

Maybe you can try to make an eyecatching cover art for the next game jam! 

You can also hit me up if you need tips or anything! :D

I like the idea. Interesting interpretation of classic socoban

I really like the SFX in this game and the music is great too! The concept is quite simple but has layers of complexity to it, I’m really bad at puzzle games but it has a strong nostalgic feeling to it :]

Really nice and simple concept!

oh, fun combo of mechanics! in some levels (e.g. 4) I had no idea what to do or how to make progress. but other levels were really nice – I liked 5 in particular.

That's a neat way to make puzzles out of Minesweeper.

Completed all 8 levels. I know the concept will be good if it has minesweeper in it :)

Puzzle design here is kinda mixed to be honest, some levels had too many tiles to process so I just randomly pressed every key until it works. Level 4 and 8 are examples of this. But other levels didn't have too many tiles to process, so I could actually think about the positions of the mines. Those levels were much more satisfying to beat, such as level 5,6, and 7.

Overall, it was an enjoyable experience. Well done!

Nice puzzle game

Really cool puzzle game!  The puzzles are great, but if I were to make any improvements, it would just be for level selection and more clarity for the rules

This game is a blast, pun intended. 

It took me a moment to figure out that it was actually a sokoban style game because it wasn't clear I was the dark mine pushing the light ones. But once that clicked, I was in. Maybe an extra line of tutorial like, "you're the black mine, you can push other mines into place" would help?

I'm still not sure my brain truly understands how to arrive at a solution, but your puzzle design allowed for straightforward deductions to help the solution to arrive eventually! 

Super well done, I'm very happy with this. And the retro presentation are incredible, even if the minesweeper I grew up with never had music :P

It took me a while to understand how to solve the puzzles, but I did pretty well once I did understand. Cool take on the theme. The music and sounds were nice, and the puzzles made me think. Nice job!
