DwarfSweeper by Tim Sims
Descend as deep as you can in the bomb-filled depths of the mountain!
A/D to move left and right, W to jump. Use the mouse to select blocks to dig, but watch out for bombs! You dig with the left mouse button and mark blocks with the right mouse button.
Made by Tim Sims for Ludum Dare 48 (DEEPER AND DEEPER) using Pixel, a 2d Engine written in Go.
Sound from the PMSFX Sampler March 2021

The game is exactly what you expect and more! It gives minesweeper a totally new touch and makes a game forgotten for so long come back to life stronger than ever. Great work, one of the best games i played so far! :fireworks:
Keep this up man! <3
- ability to place flags from any distance
- locking flagged blocks from being mined. Otherwise its too hard to jump mine blocks precisely.
Hi score: 1387
I could see this game being polished or even adding some non minesweeper additions like consumable items or a progression. Great feeling when you hit a cave opening and it crumbles in succession!
It's challenging. Only thing that miss to me would be to put flags from at least a little distance, especially when a block became unaccessible from falling and you have to jump to reach it. The way score is calculated is interesting and seems balanced !
It fits the theme, its short, it's easy to learn and entertaining. The graphics are nice. Maybe some background music would make it complete.
I'm really bad at Minesweeper, so I mainly watched explosions, but it was fun.
Another suggestion would be to place the flags not on top of the blogs but on the center of the block, so that the flag is more visible in case it is placed on the block the miner is standing.
I thought that the jumping wasn't necessary since you'll presumably go deeper.
The sounds gave it a nice touch, but music would've been nice.
Good job on finishing the jam!
@hugimugi7, I was thinking about finding a open source version of Hall of the Mountain King, but I ran out of time.
Could it be that sometimes the player cannot jump? I could not reproduce the issue, but it happened to me more than once.
Just missing some music and a menu button after you die. Otherwise, great job :smile:
The sounds are a bit weird. The jumping feels a bit weird. But everything else is just great. I dont know if this was intended, but I will give a high "humor" rating also. Mostly because of the death animation which made me laugh. :D
Really enjoyed this!
