thanks for joining js13k! great work finishing a game in such a small size. it worked perfectly, and I was able to explore the map and find some treasure 💰 before getting blown to smithereens! 💣💥 who went and buried treasure in a minefield anyways, I need to find a safer job

Thanks for trying out my game. I am glad you liked it. It was fun trying to fit a game in such a small size; by fun, I mean scraching my brain and trying to figure out how to make it 13 KB, but at last I did it, not perfectly, but I still did. And if you find a safe job do let me in your secert organization

Not sure if the game was working properly for me or not. I expected there to be numbers on the squares that are next to bombs to represent how many bombs the square touches. No numbers were shown on squares so the game mostly played as a hope my random click didn’t reveal a bomb, but no way to know ahead of time. It made it so the flags didn’t really do anything either as I had no way to know if a square would be a bomb or not. Tried in Firefox and Chrome on a mac.

Thanks so much for pointing that out! It sounds like there may be an issue with the logic. I’ll definitely work on improving that part of the game so it’s more intuitive and fun.

Interesting puzzle. However, unlike minesweeper, there doesn’t seem to be a skill involved, as all the tiles appear to be random. As far as I could tell, there’s no way to predict where the bombs would be, so I don’t know how to avoid them and use the flags. It’s pure chance.

Congrats on releasing the game.\nI didn’t quite understand the purpose of the flags, since it seems like the tiles are placed randomly and there’s no indication of potential bombs nearby. Or maybe am I missing something!\nAdding a few sounds could have been nice when triggering a bomb or losing a life.

\n

GG for the work you I have put into the game!

I used to love playing minesweeper so was keen to try your game.

\n

I like that you’ve got a 13 mine target and a concept of lives so that the game doesn’t end immediately when you uncover a mine.

\n

In traditional minesweeper clicking a blank square would reveal all neighbouring blank squares giving some hope of flagging possible mines and avoiding them.

\n

So in this game I didn’t see the point in marking something with a flag that you had no idea what was contained underneath as there were no cues.

\n

Perhaps having right click to toggle flags would be better than having a button you need to keep going back to for toggling.

The game is really random, when discovering an empty space I don’t know if there are treasures of mines nearby having that indication should be a great improvement\nFlags could be a right click (and disable “contextmenu”) instead of toggle a button\nYou have a lot of space left, I’m sure you can make an director’s cut version still in 13kb constraint, maybe even add a bit of CSS too for responsive grid and colors :)

Minesweeper but without the numbers helping for proximity detection ?

\n

To me, this is nothing more than clicking at random on the grid, trying to reveal yellow squares before red ones. Or did I misunderstand something ?

The game is a bit too simple and based on luck, a small strategic component should be added and it should be made so that you cannot keep losing lives - or gaining lives - by clicking on bombs or treasure bags that have already been discovered.

\n

I increased my lives to 100 by always clicking on the same treasure bag, and finishing the game became super easy.

\n

There is some work to be done.

Hello! Thanks for your submission to js13k!\nI’m sure you’ve worked hard on your game, but I’m not aware of how much time you spent on it, so excuse me if things I mention were in your mind, but got left out in the rush of the month :)

\n

Great work on having a complete working game for js13k! Even more in your case with 3kb :)

\n

I noticed that you tried to make a twist on the minesweeper game but I think it didn’t work very well. It can help sometimes to use a game mechanic and remove things from it, but here I think it took too much. The issues is that there is no way to learn how to play it. Basing your gameplay exclusively on luck won’t cut for a small game.

\n

The added lives idea did add something to the minesweeper game, so what if you kept it, and make it such that you had to treasure hunt in a minefield? Keeping the numbers of minesweeper to indicate where mines are, and then adding a second row of numbers where you indicate where treasures are – now there are two things to look out for, and one of them you need to risk uncovering.
