Mini Mines
I made a Minesweeper clone for my first cart, to get used to PICO-8 and Lua. There's still a lot of optimisation to be done, but I wanted to get something published!
You can follow Mini Mines' development on Github.
Thanks for checking out my cart!

Woohoo, :06 on easy. I like the mechanic of earning new themes by playing. It adds a little something to what is otherwise a pretty monotonous game that doesn't normally provide much in the way of a feeling of advancement. That's not a criticism of your game, that's mine sweeper in general. Good job.
Perfect! I love that you can click an uncovered number to uncover the spaces around it. I have never seen that in a sweeper clone and it instantly made this version my favorite yet on any platform. Great work!
This is great, everytime I thought you could add a quality of life improvement, it turned out you'd already done it. I'm going to come back to this a lot I think.
