I don’t know if this is already being implemented, or is just an idea. But what if as the levels get harder, you get more lives… but every life spent inflates you by the same amount? Later level rewards are just watching the catto be able to get inflated bigger and bigger as the levels go on? To a point of course.
i have something else planned so if you hang on, youll see for yourself and im pretty sure you'll be satisfied -w- im posting updates on the discord server thats linked to the game's description so if u want, go check it out
Cool game!The only thing I really dislike is that the ballon is too small imo… maybe add a size setting or smth? Also I don’t really like minesweeper not a valid criticism I know but still
what do you mean?
do you think they know about the rat yet?
Yo i’m bored, when is it officially releasing? :/
Any cool new updates on the game? its been a bit haha!
well- yeah! Our team is currently working on the full release, for more information and some sneak peek, you can join our discord server thats in the description -w-
Oh i see! Well then i'll wait for the game to release. better to not spoil the surprise.
don’t worry, we’ve implemented a rat :3. You’ll see in time
this game stinks and the creator is a femboy :3
YOU STINK.
YOUR LITERALLY WORKING WITH ME
AND SO ARE YOU
:3
expired discord link
:(
oh- lemme send a new one then!
hold on
seems like its an issue with the app or your internet:P works for me and everyone else it seems. Try playing it on web version directly from the browser
So I did a bit of digging, and I'm pretty sure what happened is that the Itch.io app only allows for web browser games to be ran as a download in the WebGL application, which, since the file has to be downloaded first and ran in a sandboxed form of the WebGL window and since it seems this game was never meant to be downloaded, might be a big part of the issue here TwT
There is a way to fix it within Unity, though, but it probably isn't too necessary overall to do...
That said, it does work on an actual web browser (not Itch.io's app browser), at least- are there any plans for releasing the game as a standalone executable?
yep! The full release of the game will come as an executable. Also will most likely be too big to be on browser like the demo.
great game! hope you are ok with this?
Yeah man this is sick!
I can’t see the whole panel :/
Game is designed to fit on 1920x1080 and up it seems, as the edge of the minefield is right next to the character image box on that resolution.
I have to full-screen it for it to work for me, and it only just fits on my display. It'd be nice if the character portrait were a percentage of the screen size, rather than a fixed resolution.
Are there any plans to update this game in the future?
Yup! since the game hit 1000 players i plan on making more updates!
i dont know anything about inflation but i will say the mine densities (number of mines divided by total squares) are 15.6% on easy, 22.2% on medium, and 13.3% on hard: this makes it much more likely to run into difficult scenarios on the medium board while you can be relatively carefree on the hard one
"👍"
I'm hoping this goes in a similar direction as mogmog's "Boinsweeper", multiple levels with various difficulties. I will say, because of Minesweepers innate "damn lmao guess which one is the mine" chance, the lives make this SIGNIFICANTLY less irritating.
I like the concept of this game a lot! Hoping you continue to work on it because it's already got me intrigued.
Kinda iffy about the game rewarding you for losing, since, like, I did two quick runs of the game without seeing any inflation before figuring the P flags means "pump" and that you have to lose to see anything.
Could maybe use an alternate mode where the inflation is gradual and goes up with every mine you flag, or every non-mine space getting cleared or something, IDK.
Still a neat little game though.
Hoping for more character options in the future.thanks! I could make more character options in the future but as for the mechanic, i didnt find any other idea suitable for the minesweeper base. As for the gradual inflation, that makes sense and i could use that instead if i ever plan on updating the game. Also the game shouldnt be taken as something worthy of updating since I just made it in a day when i was bored, but if ill get enough responses, maybe ill make another update. currently im working on my main project so hope youll check it out when im done
