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.

Hey this game is pretty cool!
It's very short and simplistic in the best way possible. I've never seen quite a spin on Minesweeper before, with the quick turn-based battle if you hit an enemy. And the cherry on top is the gems you mine helping you out in battle - very creative and unique touch. And I'm always a sucker for the retro music and art style... Great work!
What an awesome review! Thank you so much! I did try to make a different type of minesweeper even though it's still minesweeper. I'm glad you enjoyed the music because I have no background in music haha.
Glad to see you on itch.io!
I love the theme of the game and the artwork.
Thanks! Yeah I made it a "reward" scenario that if I convince myself to finish the game I deserve to have an itch.io page for it haha.
Really love this Minesweeper x Pokemon Game
Hey Bucks! Thank you! I am glad you enjoy it.
Really enjoy this take on Minesweeper!! Phenomenal work!!
That's quite a compliment! I appreciate that! Thanks!
That's so cool! Clever modification of the classic idea.
Thank you!
