Minesweeper 100 - More Danger, More Fun in version 0.36
This is something I'm super exited to share.
There is now a nuke under the Minesweeper 100 board. If all the mines aren't defused within 7 minutes, the nuke goes off and kills everyone.
You may be wondering why this is! There is a bit of a scaling problem with the game when people die. While I can shrink the battlefield for Happy Tanksgiving and Bombertown, you can't really do that for minesweeper. I thought that having an earthquake occur occasionally (exploding a random mine) would be a solution, and while I still like that feature, it makes survivors become very cautious and methodical.
Which makes the game take way longer.
This game is designed to be fast - in and out, explode and jump right back in. So I've now set a 7 minute timer to force people to move fast or die.
Since I don't have a big Twitch audience, I'm excited to see how this works in other streams. As always I'm happy to receive feedback and I hope you enjoy playing with your community!
Other changes in this new version (0.36):
All the best!

Other changes in this new version (0.36):
- GameMaker Studio 2 released a massive update this month that changed the way a lot of things worked. And it also broke a bunch of stuff. The conversion is complete, and the game is more stable because of all the changes I need to make. Hopefully I got all the bugs, and I'm so sorry if something slipped through.
- Added more custom tank bullets, minesweeper flags, and hats for streamers and viewers
All the best!
