This Blasted Mine by Pincushion
A puzzle game where you set a blast sequence to mine. Clear all tiles with a single detonation.
Controls
- Only requires a mouse. Move and left-click.
- Press "m" to toggle sound
Gameplay
The goal is to clear all the tiles using a limited amount of dynamite: - Toggle the placement of dynamite by clicking on tiles. - Click "Detonate" (upper-left corner) to execute your blast sequence. Dynamite will explode in the order shown on the left side of the screen. - Selected dynamite will be at the bottom of the blast sequence by default. Click the arrows to reorder. Hover over the icons to highlight the dynamite on the board.
Notes
- Web build is buggy, so I didn't post it. I'll try to fix it so the game's more accessible. For now, there's only a Windows build.

@baknik Level 7's a tough one.
@sicosiber That's a great idea. The time adds up.
@khaotom Glad you made it through! :tada:
Thanks for playing!
I like the concept a lot. With some added responsiveness and a more cartoony visual style, I could totally see this working well as a mobile puzzle game.
Also, just a heads-up: this is the first time a game has made my computer fans go full speed. There might be some optimization issues, which could also explain why it doesn't run on the web.
Good luck in the future, and great job overall! I really enjoyed playing your game.
- I'd like it if the 4 dynamites were different colors or something so I can tell them apart without hovering
- The background music seemed to cut out part way through while I was playing. This could just be because I was running under wine, though.

@heiden-bzr Thanks! Minesweeper's the inspiration. I inverted it because minesweeper already existed :)
@oddballdave Appreciate the feedback on level 2.
@fullbuff I see the performance issue on my gpu too when I play the built copy. It's not an issue in the Unity editor. Weird, I might dig in out of curiosity. Thanks for the feedback.
@henk That's great feedback having them different colors. I bet it's an easy adjustment too. The music does cut out. I think I forgot to set it to loop... Good job beating it :star:
@she-wrote Thanks for the feedback. Agree with it all. Thanks for playing to the end :tada:
Thanks all for playing! Really appreciate the great feedback.
A small suggestion, perhaps a hint after so may tries would be appropriate. Maybe place on of the dynamite packets where its is supposed to go
Anyway, thank you for the play.
