There are better ways to make a game challenging. More zombies than bullets makes the game harder, but not necessarily more challenging; just more luck-based. The only way to get rid of them is to run away and hope they step on a mine. Sometimes, they push you into a tight corner and this forces you run somewhere else – either into the zombie itself or onto an undiscovered potentially mine-carrying area.

Overall, I like how you took the classic minesweeper and gave it and interesting twist, but it’s really not working at the moment.

Thanks. I’m having a lot of fun with game game. Especially luring monsters into following me through minefields.

Diagonals definately are tricky. Perhaps a 8 key box. Or WASD with Q and E being diagonal forward. And SHIFT or SPACEBAR turning them into diagonal backwards.

Hey Flint, well, we tried a whole bunch of different things with the numbers: showing them under mines, not showing them under mines, having them change when mines explode, and so on… everything we tried left someone confused, and in the end this is what we settled on: that the square with a mine is, in fact, touching a mine, and so should have a number on it. (It makes more sense when two mines are side by side and one of them gets blown up.)

Nah I agree whole heartedly with Flint – I would rather it just be left flagged, or as an exploded mine, or made “safe”. The ‘hint’ of how many mines are around it is far more hindersome than helpful. Agree 100% Flint.
