This game is part of the Micro Entertainment Pack, a collection of tiny desktop games I developed for fun.
Famous archaeologist Ohio Smith is leading a team to excavate a ruin site, however his dastardly foes have planted mines all over the place!
This game is essentially a clone of the windows classic minesweeper.
Features:
- Four different difficulty levels - Quick, Easy, Medium and Hard.
- Convenient safe-move shortcuts - Right click on a numeric square to mark all surrounding squares, or left click to reveal all surrounding squares, only if that move is numerically guaranteed to be correct.
- Tiny, unobtrusive graphics and Micro Mode - The game only occupies a fraction of your screen real estate, and can even be displayed in half size on high DPI displays, making it perfect for discreetly playing at work or while watching something on your computer.
Currently I prioritise mac binaries, as that's the only platform I play these games on, but am also building for other platforms. They are written in Rust and have a dependency on C libraries SDL2 and SDL_gfx.
