Hello, Kinda new and i've downloaded the game. Is it normal to lose data everytime i exit normally and reopen the game?? version 2.1 and Windows if that info is needed.
I'm currently working on the end screen after you finish an adventure. It's 1/3 finished.
Edit: Idea for 19 intro. You click the tile, reveals the 19. It then starts glitching between 9 and 10, then turns into whatever you want it to start at.
Do you think there'll ever be a Discord community server for this game? I feel like it could really be a place for fans of the game to communicate and share ideas.
As a person who kind of remembers c# (but is more of a scratch/luau/python guy), has a tiny bit of experience with fl studio, and is kind of an artist, i'm kinda thinking of making a simple mod that changes the smiley's textures and possibly changes the boss themes to my remixes (which i havent uploaded anywhere yet, because i'm not sure where to post), it may be coming, it may be scrapped, it's made entirely for fun, so like dont expect much from it lol, here are 3 idle stages 1-2 captain smiley sprites. I've been mostly inspired by the japan-only minesweeper that was released for gameboy.
Whenever i open the file i downloaded, (the game) windows protects my computer. Can someone help ? ? ? I have no idea why this is happening, and the other comments seem normal. No ones talking about this.
yeah I got the same message, I scanned the file in VirusTotal and I think I just got a false positive for a virus or something, the game looks like it comes from an offical website so I am gonna download it anyways, it shouldn't be anything to worry about
checking its position to see if it's above/below specific edges of the screen, then warping it to the other edge when necessary.
(And fyi, I did not touch the other 10 bossfight, because I wanted to make 18's 2nd phase feel more special and not like... 18 and 10 at once, even if that's literally what it is)
theres even reasoning behind this, 9 did the goofy fucking "run across the top bar where the smiley conveniently is" TWICE (if we're counting 10's second phase), shocked(?) twice (18's first and second phase), and exploded (transition from 18 to devil's convergence), i think i would be dead if that happened to me and probably same with the smiley unless plot armor is just that good
gotta love how it turns into a guessing game at the 2nd 9th bossfight because we just cant make a game in the big 25 almost 26💘💘 OH BOY, THE 10 IS COMPLETELY SAME SHIT!!
if you're going for a S/M rank then yeah i kinda get it but you still can make mistakes you won't die instantly unless you run out of time/click on the boss with safe spots still unrevealed
I made 2 mistakes first time I beat expert ep.1 normal (both on Dead Sea) and I still got an M rank. Seems like Expert is much more generous in terms of ranking.
my human in Christ there is no 9th boss fight. There's only 9 and 10 and neither turn the game into a guessing game unless you set the mine count really high and enable master mode.
that's kinda what it is, but it's actually going underwater, and when it comes back up, if you move your cursor or click in a notiseable manor.... 18 explodes
So, it's kinda like 9 but with a Red Light, Green Light mechanic
very fun game with amazing soundtrack. Only problem i have is that the game doesnt really save. its getting annoying since i have to play through the whole first episode just to unlock the boss for freeplay.
yeah no, I don’t wanna beat the first episode just to get access to the boss every time I load the game. It gets kinda repetitive. It would be nice if a working save feature was added so I didn’t have to beat the first episode every single time.
It saves for me... maybe try redownloading? The game should automatically make a save file in the same folder the executable file is in. Did you run the executable through the zip file or did you unzip it?
Hi! I made an account just to post a comment on this game because I love it so much. This is easily one of my favorite games of all time right now and I cannot commend you enough for everything about it. The visual style, music, gameplay progression, boss fights, unique map layouts, and everything else about it make this game an absolute delight to play. I love how the first episode's levels have mine marker numbers that increase with the levels (as in each map introduces the player to a new number of mines around a tile), it's such an amazing way to have actual game progression in a game as simple as minesweeper. I love the radar tool so much, I think it's such a good addition to minesweeper as a whole because random chance mines are genuinely unfair! Captain Sweeper is my favorite thing ever he is so cute and wonderful. I would like to take his hand in marriage, but I'm already committed to my partners, and something tells me he's already in a hate-filled marriage with the sea.
Anyways, I just wanted to say all this to really drive home to both the creator and anyone skimming the comments, this game is something absolutely special. 10/10. I cannot wait for more episodes. Is there a Patreon or somewhere like that where we can support you?
I see you take suggestions. Could you add tap to flag and hold to open for mobile? I got used to playing with those controls and keep losing because i keep mixing them up. Overall great game i liked it 👍
Pretty good game! My only issue with it is that there seems to be no system to prevent guessing spots. I know the sonar and lives system counteract that a bit but the issue still exists. If you're unlucky enough, the sonar/lives only delay the inevitable.
I think the way to do it is by storing the board as a list that tells the locations of tiles and whether they're mines, so if you want to know if a tile is a mine, just check of "X/YT" exists, for example. At least that's how I did it, and it worked out well
I'm pretty sure the hardest part is just getting the numbers to be accurate, which I also struggled with for the longest time before switching to lists instead of the "touching" block
Whenever I play the game for a while, it freezes, and I can't click anywhere, although the clock continues to run. I am running it via the Android download on Chrome OS.
Hii guys! So, I have a new idea for a new boss! Here are his stats:
Instead of regular Arabic numerals, I'll use Roman numerals! So, if the game runs out of Arabic numerals at 10, we'll start a new order of numbers, this time using Roman numerals.
The boss will be called "I", or "Roman One". He doesn't do anything in Minesweeper itself, but he does on the screen. Have you seen the "Touhou gameplay" on YouTube? That's exactly how the boss works! He'll throw those dots (like in the video) in different directions, and if we touch them five times, the player dies. At first, he just stands there, but if we've cleared half the area, he'll start moving — not slowly, not quickly, just.. in middle!
I think you all get it. I didn't come up with a design; I'm too lazy.
Thanks for reading this post! Maybe the developer himself will read this post. That would be cool.
the answer depends on the type of clock, digital or analogue
for analogue clocks, their time is indicated by the minute hand (longer hand), hour hand (smallest hand), the numbers (and ticks) on the outer edge of the clock, and sometimes a second hand (typically coloured differently or extremely thin).
the hour is displayed just by the last number that the hour hand touched, seen in the image.
the minute (and by extension, the second, but let's focus on the minute) is displayed with both the hand and some math. The last number the hand touched is multiplied by 5, then focus on the smaller ticks, which act as individual minutes, meaning you can add up the ticks that the hand has passed AFTER the last number it touched.
And then once you have your hours and minutes (and seconds, depending on the clock), you now have your time. The time on the clock is 10:10:35.
for digital clocks... they literally just show the time for you.
I hope this short read helped you understand how to read analogue clocks better:

Hello, Kinda new and i've downloaded the game. Is it normal to lose data everytime i exit normally and reopen the game?? version 2.1 and Windows if that info is needed.
I don't think it is...
It's not, never happened to me.
maybe i need to open it from the console first? or how do yall do it?
I've never seen anyone open it from the console
i only lost it once yesterday i am confused about that
Me likey, better than what I could do
(but weirdly enough, it motivates me to try to do another remix for 9)
DAMN!!!!!!!!
peak
Does anyone know how to download this game? It keeps crashing whenever I try opening it and I don’t know what to do
What operating system do you use? This game only supports Windows, Mac, Linux and Android.
Fan artists did so good they got me downloading a minesweeper game now..
PREPARE FOR LEGENDARY BRAIN EXERCISE
insert 20 exploding
I would put an actual image of 20 exploding
But I haven't even coded 20 yet, that's for a later episode
BEEP BEEP BeEP BEeP BEEP *explodes the earth *
20 - 1
(the backdrop will not stay orange forever)
Never got around to recording this, but this is what happens if you let 18 explode:
I have no idea how I'll animate 19's intro since it requires animating 2 bosses at the same time
so, I'll just leave its intro for later
I'm currently working on the end screen after you finish an adventure. It's 1/3 finished.
Edit: Idea for 19 intro. You click the tile, reveals the 19. It then starts glitching between 9 and 10, then turns into whatever you want it to start at.
Well, I do have a "script" for 19's intro:
"*tile spawns 9
*tile switches to 10 while under 9
*9 moves from over the tile to reveal the '10'
*tile spawns 10
*10 does its beeping thing and then batters the captain (like in 10's intro)
*9 does its lunge across the top bar (like in 9's intro and the entrance to 10's second phase)
*they both go off-screen before coming back
*they orbit around each other before fusing into 19"
noice.
bro got ZAPPED
idk if you're talking about the intro or the death animation
Do you think there'll ever be a Discord community server for this game? I feel like it could really be a place for fans of the game to communicate and share ideas.
Nvm. Found it in Jorel's YT bio

holy heel
what happened to his mouth?
He went full <:3 mode
tpot reference? >:3
i really like these sprites
Whenever i open the file i downloaded, (the game) windows protects my computer. Can someone help ? ? ? I have no idea why this is happening, and the other comments seem normal. No ones talking about this.
yeah I got the same message, I scanned the file in VirusTotal and I think I just got a false positive for a virus or something, the game looks like it comes from an offical website so I am gonna download it anyways, it shouldn't be anything to worry about
I just opened the game there is nothing wrong with it, yeah its probably safe
I have no idea why Windows is trying to protect you from something not trying to harm you...
The reason no one's talking about it is because they're talking about the game, not what Windows Defender thinks of it
I've always been waiting for a minesweeper game like this. Thank you so much dude for creating it
I made this and I love it.
all roads leave to a mine
all roads lead to
INSERT MELTING SMILEY HERE
i still absolutely hate that lmao
me too tbh
(luckily, I never had to see it)
Generous 10 seconds to a evil 1 second ah drawing (joke i think)
Ten is behaving a bit funnily now...
(ignore the bad trim on the phase 2 music, there hasn't been a theme made for 18 yet
Also, I changed the style of the numbers on Ten)
as a person who has no idea how to use scratch: how the fuck did you do screen wrapping
checking its position to see if it's above/below specific edges of the screen, then warping it to the other edge when necessary.
(And fyi, I did not touch the other 10 bossfight, because I wanted to make 18's 2nd phase feel more special and not like... 18 and 10 at once, even if that's literally what it is)
what the shit
I'll probably get working on 19 and its intro when tomorrow
I'm glad nobody notised the starting time of the second Phase
only thing i noticed is that the smiley is fucking dead and 18 killed him
Actually, he's just tired.
(Who wouldn't be tired after dealing with 3 different killer explosives back-to-back?)
it would've been funny if 18's explosion actually just fucking killed him and 19 is like hell or smth
theres even reasoning behind this, 9 did the goofy fucking "run across the top bar where the smiley conveniently is" TWICE (if we're counting 10's second phase), shocked(?) twice (18's first and second phase), and exploded (transition from 18 to devil's convergence), i think i would be dead if that happened to me and probably same with the smiley unless plot armor is just that good
OH NO MY WORST NIGHTMARE
If on linux it shows "Permission denied" here's a guide made by yours truly
https://asciinema.org/a/CetvfffYlkExT2Cn5fHiKBGSU
gotta love how it turns into a guessing game at the 2nd 9th bossfight because we just cant make a game in the big 25 almost 26💘💘 OH BOY, THE 10 IS COMPLETELY SAME SHIT!!
i still stand by this even after defeating it
if you're going for a S/M rank then yeah i kinda get it but you still can make mistakes you won't die instantly unless you run out of time/click on the boss with safe spots still unrevealed
I made 2 mistakes first time I beat expert ep.1 normal (both on Dead Sea) and I still got an M rank. Seems like Expert is much more generous in terms of ranking.
yeah the ranking is more generous on the harder modes
my human in Christ there is no 9th boss fight. There's only 9 and 10 and neither turn the game into a guessing game unless you set the mine count really high and enable master mode.
so its like a plus version of 9
and im guessing 19 is a plus version of 10?
Nineteen will be a fusion of 9 and 10
(Edit: The plus version of 10 would probably be 20)
understandable
but now i wonder how that would work
you have 10 seconds and to refill it you have to do something but you also have to click the boss to verify you uncovered every tile?
Wait, which boss are we talking about?
(Oh, are you talking about 19?)
yeh
It seems like 18 is 9 (What's 9*2?) but it goes invisible, and then after like 9-10 seconds (lol) it appears and you can't click anything I guess.
that's kinda what it is, but it's actually going underwater, and when it comes back up, if you move your cursor or click in a notiseable manor.... 18 explodes
So, it's kinda like 9 but with a Red Light, Green Light mechanic
Oh okay. But then how did you flag before 18 went back underwater?
18 doesn't really care about flags
(here are the specifics of what 18 counts as movement (aka what makes it explode):
1. clearing more than 2 tiles
2. moving your cursor over 12 pixels away
when its timer reaches zero, it'll immediately go into its exploding animation)
WHO KEEPS ON DOWN VOTING THIS WHOLE THREAD.
definitely crossbow12
also i absolutely love that the smiley is more of concerned (imo he looks concerned) than scared
awesomesauce
your pfp makes me hungry
omigosh it's the person who made the first ever 9 boss fight omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh
very fun game with amazing soundtrack. Only problem i have is that the game doesnt really save. its getting annoying since i have to play through the whole first episode just to unlock the boss for freeplay.
Beating the episodes to unlock the bosses in free play is the whole point if you want to play them in FP.
yeah no, I don’t wanna beat the first episode just to get access to the boss every time I load the game. It gets kinda repetitive. It would be nice if a working save feature was added so I didn’t have to beat the first episode every single time.
theres a quicksave feature but if you REALLY dont wanna redo all of episode 1 hold a really evil number for a long time
It saves for me... maybe try redownloading? The game should automatically make a save file in the same folder the executable file is in. Did you run the executable through the zip file or did you unzip it?
Can you please add a flag option for android
There actually is, in the settings page, gameplay menu, you can enable hold to flag if you want to.
Ok thanks
ive only completed the first episode, but OMAGAHHH it's PERFECT!!!!
play episode 2 on novice trust me
Yep, you get another completely normal boss fight with no second phases
this game feels like a perfect example of "if you cant make a game, dont make one"✌️
??????
if you cant make a good complaint, don't post one
Why doesnt it save (Im using the 2.1 version)
*18 didn't like that*
45
45 what?
45 coins, that's the coin counter because I was too lazy to add a coin counter above the radar
is this safe??
yes

I'm not the creator, but in the best of my knowledge, no. Also ep.3 is most likely to be the last episode.
Nooo!!! well... Still excited for the next episode! Wish there'd be more though...!
aww :(
y'know what they say, if something isn't going to be made, you may as well make it yourself
my girlfriend was playing and she was constantly getting impossible mines or somehow she would get -1 mines and couldn't continue after that
was she flagging every tile known to man?
You only get -1 mines if you flagged incorrectly... That's user error, not the game's fault
i have a problem, when i want play the minesweeper, minesweeper displays on my second monitor and i cant change that :'v
cant play on my old pc but can on my phone also are you able to release a IOS version ok bye
There's an Android version.
I see you take suggestions. Could you add tap to flag and hold to open for mobile? I got used to playing with those controls and keep losing because i keep mixing them up. Overall great game i liked it 👍
Well, actually the controls are reversed for mobile. It's hold to flag and tap to open.
Yeah i know. I'm suggesting to have a option to reverse them the same way pc has option switch left click and right click.
This game fucking rules but I'd really appreciate a pause button
you tap the face to pause, not the most intuitive but it's a thing
oh sick thanks
okay, this is just getting ridiculous now
Check my profile again.
If you want me to make 21, just tell me.
oh my lawd
(👏👏👏)
Do you want me to make 21? Just note I won't be back in about 30-45 minutes.
eh, you can if you want to, I don't really mind
okee
I finished 21, check my profile yet again.
Anyway, I'll be gone for 17.5 hours.
umm... (Why is he too sus?)
"There are no laws against the mines..."
yes there is "Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention"
THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!
I know you meant bomboclat
Pretty good game! My only issue with it is that there seems to be no system to prevent guessing spots. I know the sonar and lives system counteract that a bit but the issue still exists. If you're unlucky enough, the sonar/lives only delay the inevitable.
This game is safe? Cuz i opened it and windows defender said its not safe.
Yes, it is. It says that on every Windows computer before starting the app for the first time.
Ok.
omg its henry
HOLY SHIT IS THAT HENRY STICKMIN FROM HIT SERIES HENRY STICKMIN
No.
ight mb
awww man :(
When do you want to start the collab? (Anytime you want to)
How do i save my game man everytime i wanna go to episode 2 i need to finish episode 1 everytime i get back to the game
redownload the game atp and see if that fixes it, if not ask Jorel personally on Discord
This guy does indeed have cool hat
the coolest of hats
the coolest of the coolest hats
ooo massive upate for my fangameee
I wanna play it so. darn. bad. No like actually. I've been a scratcher for more than 1.5 yrs and I still don't know how to make Minesweeper lol.
I think the way to do it is by storing the board as a list that tells the locations of tiles and whether they're mines, so if you want to know if a tile is a mine, just check of "X/YT" exists, for example. At least that's how I did it, and it worked out well
I'm pretty sure the hardest part is just getting the numbers to be accurate, which I also struggled with for the longest time before switching to lists instead of the "touching" block
Did you see the 12 13 14 15 16 and 17 I made yet?
where are they?
Edit: I found them, and I think they're cool
Thanks! I'll be waiting on 11 for the official version, and also you can use them in your game without my credit.
Note: I won't be back in 11 hours.
Whenever I play the game for a while, it freezes, and I can't click anywhere, although the clock continues to run. I am running it via the Android download on Chrome OS.
Just wondering if you’d ever consider making a version that works on IOS/for the AppStore. Amazing gameplay! :)
So sad that only after like, 100 tries It gives one coin lol
I'm not sure what's more insane:
The fact that it only gives one coin, or the fact that you had the determination to give it 100 tries
Well it didn't take exactly 100, I didn't count though I probably should again lol
Will this game’s executable ever get signed? Windows Defender SmartScreen keeps yelling at me whenever I try to open it.
I just turned it into a taskbar shortcut
yeah but a lot of ppl probably will never play because they think it’s malware
It's not. But the message only appears before the first time you run the game (I think).
Hii guys! So, I have a new idea for a new boss! Here are his stats:

I think you all get it. I didn't come up with a design; I'm too lazy.
Thanks for reading this post! Maybe the developer himself will read this post. That would be cool.
can confirm that roman numerals would be cool and also annoying as heck 👍
fr
would've been cool if he also made the numbers on the squares also roman numerals :(
I'd kill for a version of Nine where tiles are roman numerals (not saying your idea is similar to Nine)... but I can just code that right now
i disagree with this
this is a REALLY GREAT IDEA
nah i will say this roman numerals are annoying as heck HOW DO YOU TELL THE TIME IF THERE ON A CLOCK AWSER YOU CAN'T
im saying about number on the boss, not ALL numbers on this game
the answer depends on the type of clock, digital or analogue
for analogue clocks, their time is indicated by the minute hand (longer hand), hour hand (smallest hand), the numbers (and ticks) on the outer edge of the clock, and sometimes a second hand (typically coloured differently or extremely thin).
the hour is displayed just by the last number that the hour hand touched, seen in the image.

And then once you have your hours and minutes (and seconds, depending on the clock), you now have your time. The time on the clock is 10:10:35.
for digital clocks... they literally just show the time for you.
I hope this short read helped you understand how to read analogue clocks better:
