Miner Joe (Beta Test)

Minesweeper Clone

minerjoe.rar
Screenshots
Basically minesweeper, but with increasingly more difficult levels, and the ability to buy armour from a shop at the end of each level after you are paid based on how fast you clear the field.

Latest Update

As yet, 'Save game' works barely, and 'Load game' does nothing, along with instructions and highscores, but should give you the basic idea. Let me know what you think so far, and any possible glitches found please...

 		Idea: I like the deeper take on minesweeper. The game is a classic, and the added armor and map really add to it in the right ways.

Execution: I realize it's not finished, but one major problem I had with gameplay was how quickly I can clear most of the board. With my first click I was able to get the board to look like this and that's a lot of wasted space.

Graphics: It's very brown! Needs way more color.

Other: I'm confused as to the setting of this game. We're hunting landmines, but the map you use seems to be from a time when landmines were not yet invented. There are some other inconsistencies like this too.

Final: It's a great start. I like the idea, all it needs is a little polish!

 		Okay, thanks for the comments blanko;

Firstly, if the map clears to quickly for you then maybe you should choose a harder difficulty (try the highest rank!), also, as yet im still playing with the levels...

(completing the game is currently impossible!)

Graphics: well, im kinda crap at them, but ill see what I can do.

The map is also currently under developement as part of reworking the levels ect...

Thanks for the tips, Ill update the download as soon as I complete 1 of the many (Hundreds! lol) changes...
