Fun game! Would try to go a little further into the adventure aspect :)

You might want to relabel the download as being a Windows package, and probably tell Unity to spit out some Linux and Mac builds for you while you're at it.

So far this game is the best I have played.
Thanks for making my evening.
The mood for this game felt just right.
If I may suggest something, take this game further.

I had a similar idea at first, I think you manage to make a great game out of it :) the movement and all feels good and the fact that you added an actual goal rather then just pointing out the "mines". Good job ! :)

This is a nice concept, with good, clean visuals, and it manages to fit quite a bit of mechanical variety in. It would be nice to see it with deeper RPG mechanics.

Great game! I had so much fun playing and I don't even like minesweeper. 😄

Nice game! Quite relaxing too. I really enjoy minesweeper so it's nice to play it with a little twist 😊

I really liked it! Not very long, relaxing and easy to find yourself wanting all the artifacts. The variants North and West were quite similar to the normal one. The feeling of open world is huge. I think this has some potential if you wanted to take it further.

Congratulations.

Its a fun reimagining of minesweeper in an adventure world. Good job

This is pretty neat. Little issue in that you can't click and reveal a tile you know to be trap-free but isn't on the edge of your explored area, particularly shows up in the form of diagonals. So you have to sacrifice a health point to venture beyond. Thankfully there were plenty of potions to go around. I liked it. Mechanics were pretty clever, and I liked having to think about what's going on in each zone.

Really cool little game. At some times it was hard to follow the logic and I'd have personally preferred it if it didn't update if you found a 'mine'

This is so addicting! I loved the way this tied in with the theme. Great game!

This is brilliant, I loved the variations between each level and the difficulty was just right. On my first run, I got 7:31. After that I moved onto hard mode, and after a couple of failed attempts, I beat it in 7:21.

I have played embarrassing amount of minesweeper in past, and your game makes that old idea feel fresh and interesting. Gameplay is easy to learn (as I knew rules for the original). Had bit trouble understanding items I found but figured them out after a while. I also encountered a bug or feature where exit from one of the outer areas would not active after I found the artifact. It worked after I revealed a life item. Visuals for some reason gave me Nintendo 3DS’s Streetpass quest vibes, which is a good thing. Simple and effective. Kevin MacLeods song was bit repetitive, but that’s his fault;)
