I made more solitaire games!

My spouse enjoys Spider Solitaire, Wordle and Dark Souls. So I made the Dark Souls of solitaire word games. It’s been a big hit in our household.

The pleasures of growing old: one gets to make minesweeper games without shame.

I made a small (and unpolished) Minesweeper variant. The game could be polished to make it more user friendly, but also I don’t know if I want to put too much more time into it. I was inspired by some of the Minesweepers Hempuli did.

Original idea was to make it work with a full deck of cards. Unfortunately 4 suits seemed like too much, so I dropped one. It was also an interesting experience to play around with the “single wrong click and you die” -mechanic. It seems somewhat under utilized way of designing puzzle games, cause usually as a designer you want the game to be forgiving.

Solitaire Sweeper – Release 1

Download

Windows: SolitaireSweeper.zip (0.1 Mb) (Release 1)

Instructions
Minesweeper meets solitaire.

Your goal is to reveal all the cards without hitting any of the mines.

• Click on space to reveal it
• Right click to mark a mine

If you hit a mine, it’s game over.

If the card flashes, it means there’s a mine next to it in one of 8 neighboring spaces.

The number under the card tells you how many cards of the same suit are around that card. Max 8, min 0.

There are 3 suits (hearts, diamonds, clubs) and 13 cards each.

The orthogonal spaces next to a mine are always safe. I.e. Mines may NOT be next to each other horizontally nor vertically.

I made a simple – maybe the simplest – board game! Its called Hide No Seek and it is available at the a print and play service The Game Crafter. Although if you want to play it you can also just print it out, or write the rules on a card with a sharpie.

The Game Crafter had a single card game design competition. You had to design a whole game with rules and everything on a single poker size playing card. I liked the challenge and ended up making a design I thought was rather obvious. As illustrated by this image of the card:

A while back I experimented with the idea of rendering pixel art using post it notes. That game was pretty bad, but the idea of rendering pixel art in interesting ways was pretty neat. Inspired by past experiences and this painting by tubbypaws I decided to test out if I could render pixels to look like they were painted. The results were surprisingly good, so I crafted a smallish game around that. A big chunk of the game was made at Karlshamn game jam with Martin and Niklas.

Edit: Release 1.1 – Thanks to the feedback I removed the shaking camera and made the movement of the player a bit faster.

I made a small game about cutting stuff. It started out as a tech test for a completely different game. I ended up polishing up the test and creating some levels to it and now it’s a “real” game. And by real I mean as real as a quick and dirty prototype that was created in few days can be.

Dennis will probably compile the OS X version for you mac people out there, and we could technically put the game out for the iPhone as well.
