One of the best games I have seen on this jam. Really hope this one makes it to the GMTK video. The idea is super creative, the gameplay is extremely fun. The art style is pretty as well. You guys did a great job at making the game engaging. Best of luck!

How does your game fit the theme?
As you dive deep, you're on a tight countdown as your air supply counts down. The theme is tied into multiple mechanics: the countdown triggered whenever you hit a bomb, an orca descending at regular intervals to devour you, or even the Minesweeper-style gameplay itself.

I'm absolutely terrible at Minesweeper but if every version looked and played like this I don't think I'd ever quit it.
For one, the palette: so vibrant and clean and Sonic-esque whilst still having oodles of it's own charm. The illustrations and animations, tiny details like the little joystick movements and shakes in time with the chomping countdown behind you made it both so intuitive and immersive.
And then there's the slightly inspired decision to make Minesweeper into this arcade-y falling platformer. Like a happy, colourful, cerebral Downwell. I could probably talk about this all day but I'd like to sneak in a couple more runs on my lunch lol.
Ace ace ace.
Wow this is really freaking good. Using minesweeper vertically as a platformer is really fun and cool. I like the way the timer is implemented as well. Super impressive entry.
This is a super duper fun entry! One of my favorites. I love the minesweeper levels, and the feeling of excavating, and the upgrades, mining for oxygen and gold. My biggest complaint is that there is nothing to do while hit by a bomb. It would be neat if there was a minigame or QTE thing you could do to help repair yourself faster. A little more polish for breaking blocks and stuff and this game would be so juicy!
The audio is too involved, like when you die I like it too much x) Otherwise, I really like the idea of having a creature that follows you and bubbles! And the crabs are so cute! Don’t you do Rust part hazard? : 3 Otherwise, the game is very addictive and it’s really hard to stop playing!
Awesome art, audio, and UI design. Playing minesweeper as a platformer feels like a nightmare though! It was a little weird to have my little guy dig just because I walked into a block. Great work overall.
This is amazing! Such an inspired idea to mix Minesweeper with an endless runner (or I guess digger?) type of game. My only complaint is that using just the arrow keys hurt my wrist a bit. But otherwise, an excellent game! You should feel very proud.
minesweeper upgrade! the artwork and music was sooo good. the juice is also very polished. good work!
Well done game with interesting mechanics fusion! Really fun! Thank you for this submission!
WOW!! I did not expect to see a game that I would probably pay for in a 4 day game jam. Everything works toghether to make such a great game. The only suggestion I can make is to maybe make the explosion hitbox a bit smaller, sometimes I felt like I was vey far away but still got hit.
This game is so polished and gorgeous. Love how smooth ui is and the animations. I especially love how you incorporated shop purchases so seamlessly during a run. It really inspires me for my own games. The team has done a wonderful job on this game!
Peak! RNG sometimes frustrated me and I was upset I couldn’t use my extensive Minesweeper knowledge to use, but other than that, the game was incredible! Incredible visuals, audio and a very interesting concept.
Played at 4:00:55 @ https://twitch.tv/hedge_in <3 Incredibly polished!! You can probably just make it into a full game and I'd buy it!
Super polished and fun!
Amazing that you managed to create this in such short time.
I really like this combonation of games.
Well done! :D
