Gameplay and Critique ;)

Fun game! I love the base design and the overall game idea here. The current state of the game also looks incredibly polished which feels pretty nice! I'd say that if you were to;

- Make the death of the player more impactful&punishing

- Add a decent lore/storytelling

- Add more music to boost the vibes

I think it'd be a game I'd spend a bunch of bucks on! Keep dev'ing!

Love your art direction here. :)

not a minesweeper enjoyer but this was enjoyable to play due to carefully thought levels and difficulty (though annoying at times!). with further development it could be nice to see some form of story telling in the game, when combined with this kind of visuals and atmosphere. keep up the good work!

I likes minesweeper but I play them very carefully and don't have a great memory, so I rely a lot on the flags you put. 
Here it's very annoying because you have to switch all the time with E. After some time I just gave up on that and didn't care as when you die, the mines are at the same spots, so it's faster to mark them.

What about, instead of switching to put flag, you have a minimap in the corner where you can directly click to put them? It would even help to see where we are while moving backward!

The second thing that made me stop playing before the end of content is the tiny but violent shake after each jump. I feel it more uncomfortable than juicy. It's not because it shakes but because how the shake is itself. I don't understand why though. Maybe have one of the ease in or ease out hard like it is now but the other smoother?

Also I am surprised the hero jumps from a tile to another. Wouldn't an animation of one big walking step (just a leg rise then lower at the end), with the same shaking, look more natural?

It's just thoughts though. This game deserved to take my time for it. ;)

The game visual are very nice and it's nice overall! :)

(Sorry for my english...)

Sürükleyici ve epey keyifli. Yer yer hırslandım yer yer sinirlendim. Ayrıca internet versiyonunda ekranda hangi seviyede olduğunu gösterir "level counter" yok.

First of all, as someone who doesn’t normally play Minesweeper, I want to say that I really enjoyed this game. The visuals and audio create such a great atmosphere. I also really liked your menu and settings UI design.

Feedbacks on feel and presentation:

• The cards we place to remind ourselves whether a tile is safe or a trap sometimes overlap the text showing how many traps are around us, making it hard to keep track.

• When we click on a trap tile, a monster immediately appears. It might feel smoother if there were some in-game visual feedback first. For example the tile could sink in slightly before the monster shows up.

• The outline indicating our visible area lights up orange when there are no traps nearby and green when there are traps. I think it would feel more intuitive if it were the other way around.

• Approaching the stick stuck in the ground expands our field of view, which is a great mechanic. To make it clearer, the lantern in our hand could snap onto the stick tip when we get close.

• There are breakable tiles that crack after being clicked a certain number of times. It would be nice to see an animation of them breaking and the character falling through. Also, making those tiles visually distinct would give players better strategic information.

• Pressing the button on the floor unlocks the door, but this could be more noticeable perhaps add a particle effect where the lock releases.

• When a bloody enemy on a nearby tile catches us, there should be an in-game visual feedback. For example first show the enemy lunging at our character.

• When our character walks toward the camera, it would look better to see the front of their body rather than just their back.

Feedbacks on controls:

• Do we really need the level to restart when pressing R? I accidentally hit it once and lost all the cards I’d placed. I don’t think this game needs a quick-restart shortcut. Restarting from the menu should be enough.

• When I briefly release the mouse cursor, it snaps to the center of the screen and disappears. This shouldn’t happen in “E” mode when placing cards; I accidentally replaced a card on the center tile a few times.

Suggestion:

• Right now, when you fail and retry, the traps always end up in the same spots. That’s fine for early levels, but for later ones maybe you could randomize trap placement on each attempt to keep things fresh.

As a person who likes minesweeper and turn based puzzles quite a lot this game successfuly uses both mechanics. Really interested to see where the game will lead next. It would be really good if it got even more spooky.

Inspired by Minesweeper! I got stuck on the challenging part of putting the box on the button. Best wishes for the game's success.

The art design is fascinating. There is tension throughout the game. It may be more effective if the tension was intermittent rather than continuous. 

I found the mechanics really unique and enjoyable! I'm looking forward to the full release!

game is very beautiful, I loved the visuals. I also love the art design of Darkest Dungeon 2, it's very nice.

A brilliant and unique genre-bender, crafted with passion and love. From the moment you open the main menu, the vision is clear—and it carries through all the way to the end. Can't wait for the full release!

Such a creative concept! The way you blended Minesweeper mechanics with a gothic and dark atmosphere is truly impressive. The hand-drawn visuals add a unique sense of mystery. Congratulations for delivering an experience that feels both strategic and immersive. Looking forward to the upcoming levels!

What a twist on Mine Sweeper! Surely will binge it when it's completely out.

Loved it! it's a good minesweeper iteration if you are looking for quick little game you should play this

I loved the art style and death animations. beside gameplay is very simple, the game is really enjoyable. Great job!

Art style is great

A very well-explained and visually impressive work.

As someone who adores Minesweeper, I enjoy seeing games that follow the basic logic of the game and add upon it. Lovely stuff!

Great visuals, smooth gameplay and sounds good too. Nice work!

nice minesweeper implementation!

Really enjoyed while playing it. Great game with great art style.

best minesweeper ever 

Mechanics are easy to understand and fun to play, also artwork looks amazing!
