Ars called it their favorite of 2025 so far, and I’m enjoying it. Adds a nice if minor level of resource (health) management on top of regular Minesweeper. Free to play online.

    Thanks!

    Rat King

    Ah, that’s what that blue bull with yellow hair is.

    some additional details

    Gargoyle - always spawns in orthogonally (vertically or horizontally) adjacent pairs

    And they always face each other.

    Minotaur - a treasure chest always spawns in one of the 8 spaces surrounding him

    And they always face away from the chest, but turn towards it when you open the chest.

    Dragon - Defeat it to end the game with a win.

    Defeat it to get 13 gold, pick up gold to reveal crown, pick up crown to end game. But if you’re trying to collect all the gold you can, it’s OK to defeat the dragon and keep going a little.

    Romeo and Juliet

    Face each other equidistant from the center line.

    P.S. Syntax for spoiler markdown.

      Woah I’m still getting new stuff this is great! The Romeo and Juliet equidistant is particularly cool! Thank you! :o

      I’m using Sync for Lemmy which hasn’t updated in forever so its spoiler tag function is all borked for me :<
