Ranked from 33 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
1. Mechanically: The overall metagame plays like a puzzle/city-builder, then you "dive into" exploring the minesweeper board to gather resources and clear space for the city builder

2. Thematically: The dwarves must dive "deeper" into the mine in order to gather the resources necessary to accomplish their goals

Overall a great game. The tutorial was a bit difficult to read, and I am not sure I ever understood all the game mechanics. But anyway I had fun trying the game. Well done.

Best jam game I've played so far! What an amazing idea, and very compelling. To get enough stone to have a buffer by the next level, you have to have done really well at the minesweeper puzzle for multiple levels in a row. It's extremely clever and well thought out, I'll probably give it a few plays! It looks and sounds wonderful too, serious credit to DefectiveMelon for their work. I'd have played this for hours on a flash game website as a kid, that's the highest praise I can give a game

Very cool idea and artstyle.

This is such an amazing game! it doesn't even need a lot more for a full release, just maybe some extra buildings and abilities, the gameplay loop is addictive, fun and challenging, adding more layers into the basic minesweeper concept, amazingly done, good job!

Wow, what a game. This was literally a rollercoaster of emotions. The fear I felt each time I defenselessly clicked a tile. The thrill of victory. The satisfaction of strategically placing minecarts to maximise my quarry building. I promise that I'm being completely serious when I say that this game was amazing!
