  • Cool minesweeper entry! The rotating 3D cube looks great on the GBA. Being able to solve the Rubik's cube was a nice addition.
  • A technical marvel and definitely a good brain exercise! I didn't love the controls, feels like each press of the D-pad should move the cursor by 1 square. Was quite surprised to find the edges don't connect, had to play on a big (5x5) cube before things started to make sense. Some chilled music/ambience and/or more pleasant sound effects would have been nice too. All that aside, I did find it satisfying to solve, and appreciated the extra polish with save/resume and high scores. Good stuff!
  • very cool sleight of hand for the 3d effect! at first i thought each board was independent, but then i realized the ... (sigh) twist, no pun intended. clever way to make minesweeper more topologically interesting
  • Fun mashup, and very technically impressive! One core minesweeper design point I miss, though, is getting to see the state of the board when I fail so I know how to fix it next time - the rules take a while to internalise, so any help here would go a long way.
  • Cool idea and nice graphics! It's a shame that the colors are so confusing and there's no music though.
  • Really cool graphical effects! My mind was blown when I realized that you can spin the rows like a rubik's cube! Great work, it's a lot of fun!

The 3d graphics is really great. I like the Rubik cube look. Controls are straight forward. I would like to know, do you use transformed background layers for 3d or is it raytraced pixel by pixel? Just a thought, maybe switching to neighbor tiles with arrow keys while the cube auto rotates is easier to control for users, idk.

Stickers are plain obj sprites! Yeah the UX was I think the hardest part of this, the best way to interface is with a mouse. Definitely could do with another pass (or even multiple control modes?)

very nice! I like the concept- everything- colors,3d, simplicity!
