Would have liked a safeguard against the first tile you mine being a bomb, and making sure you start with a decent number of squares too, the first 4-5 digs of any run are basically guesses. I also kept running into weird patterns like 1s with no bombs next to them and the like.

Still a great concept! Can't go wrong with a minesweeper clone.

Took some time to understand how to buy items with more than 3 coins

I like how you can change your mind during the digging animation, I'm not good at minesweeper but I had tons of fun with this, managed to get a key at least!

This is a cool interpretation of Minesweeper! The old pirate was well animated. I wish I started with a bigger wallet!

Good idea, good realization, I hoped you would unlock a faster dig option, but apart from that it's a great game, congrats on the character art and animation is feels really like an old pirate !

Minesweeper is old gold game itself. I had fun, thank you

thats a clever idea to use the minesweeper to represent a bad memory! That was fun :)

I love that you combined minesweeper with an RPG like game. also the shop is great, especially the “shield” upgrade is very helpful.

well done.

I never understood minesweeper so I kept failing at the game.
Nice looking graphics but I was missing a good tune while playing.
Only upgrade that was worth buying was the shield, but if you know the game 
the other upgrades might have been good. Good job :)

I thought it was really funny to use the minesweeper as a hook to dig up chests. I also really liked the sound effects!

using the classic minesweeper game while hunting for coins and pirate artifacts. Cool well made.
