I was surprised when I realized it was a platformer. That wasn't what I expected when I read the title but the game was still good. When you dash and jump you get very fast which is thrilling to see (when you don't get flagged when trying to be cool).

My only critique is the sideways movement isn't very responsive when you want to change directions. Some games do benefit from that but I don't think platformers do. It was a bit laggy though for me, don't know why.

Still, great game. It is obvious that the game was really worked on.

Great concept and well realised! Like the way you turn Minesweeper into a platformer and adjust the rules! The floaty jump is also featured and I really enjoy it!

Interesting spin on the theme. I think it would be pretty cool if you also included the idea of minesweeper in the gameplay (like changing the numbers only so they don't change the flag positions or something like that)

I don’t quite get your suggestions in the paranthesis (i think i get the main idea of it but I can’t fully grasp what you are trying to say). We wanted to include a lot more imerssive elements but due to the time restriction and our lack of experience we had to simplify our goals. The little bit of immersion we did was the tiles changing beneath you, while keeping the whole setting related (for example the flags being the spikes and being bad, opposite to a normal game; and your goal being the explosion)

Nice visuals and lighting! I really liked the idea and mechanics

A lil bug i found was that sometimes edges would stop my momentum when trying to jump

Yeah, we've also noticed that, however we still haven't found out what causes it. Thank you for your input!

Liked the concept and the idea. The game was lagging for me a lot, but otherwise a good job!

Thank you! we're first time devs so there's still a lot to learn. We know the game could be further polished. Thank you for your input!

Very creative to make Minesweeper a platformer

Submitted

Azah1243Developer1 year ago

We thought we could use a lot of theme-inspired mechanics; Even so 2 ideas (about a kind of hiding-spot from the player with an event and about releasing spikes to destroy falling flags) got scrapped due to lack of time. Still, we are very proud this being our first game.
Thank you for playing!

Really fun! looks good, and is surprisingly creative and engaging. Cool level design! I love how being near numbered tiles for too long makes you vulnerable.
