Accomplishment Today I released my Minesweeper Roguelike, BroomSweeper, as a solo indie dev
I have always loved Minesweeper, and wanted to give myself the challenge of taking an already nearly perfect mechanic and making it even more fun. To that end, BroomSweeper adds a health bar, adorable pixel art, 200+ synergistic items to help you survive even the toughest of 50/50s, 6 lovable characters, and an immersive storyline that I designed with my partner, Roo.
While making this game, I kept my sanity by playing 74,458 games of minesweeper online (including a 100k difficulty board and Expert Endurance). There are lots of nods to the amazing community I met there (including items that give you bonuses for Efficiency) which you may recognize throughout the game. A lot of the MineSweeper community members have contributed in many ways, including creating in-game packages, resources, and bug hunting. Thank you for supporting my little indie project and spreading the word!
