Made this a while back when I was freshly new to pico-8, this was the first game I actually put effort in and im actually pretty proud with how it came out. The code is probably a mess since it was my first project.
Default Controls:
Arrows to move
O -- Flag
X -- Reveal / Select Menu
4
Very nice. Perfectly playable as is, but still some room for improvement.
A few suggestions if you want to improve it :
- timer and saved high score
- place the mines only once the 1st cell is cleared so you can't die on 1st reveal.
- change the chord mechanic to reveal if number of flags=tile number. The current logic to reveal if flags around cells are all well placed is very cheesable.
- more readable game over screen : keep well placed flags as flags so they stay distinct from undiscovered bombs. Mark wrong flags more clearly as mistakes.
- mouse support
- custom grid (size & bombs)
- local multiplayer (with separate high score table)
- register diagonal movements if multiple directions (btnp) occur on the same frame.
- 1st btnp delay is a bit long
- progressive reveal instead of instant when hitting a 0.
@RealShadowCaster yooo thanks so much for this feedback, honestly didn’t expect any :D You make very valid points on how to improve the game, thanks :)
