I also created little game manuals for the game. Just for the fun of it. A PDF is available on the itch.io page if you would like one.

NOTES:

This is my first full game. I am still new to game dev as well as coding.

I am quite proud of this game even though it is a simple concept.

There are many ways I could improve it on the code as well as gameplay.

I am not sure if I will continue developing this but if there are any bugs please do let me know.

Really nice game!
I like the combination of minesweeper and turn-based combat, really cool concept!

This is an awesome little gem!

Simple, fun with nice nice visuals accompanied with nice and fitting sound effects.
I like the extra twist added to the game with the battle system.

Thank you for trying my game! I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

Damn thought it was gemstone breeding and got excited for a sec
Damn coombrain

A pretty good game. Quite an interesting take on Minesweeper with a touch of Pokémon battles thrown in.

The visuals are really pleasant and the sounds used (both the sfx and bgm) work well! It's hard to make a game around minesweeper that isn't just... well, minesweeper, but I think this is the right direction to go about it. Only thing I would add would be something to break up the levels other than generating a new 8x8 board
