Minefield Fractalis

A Minesweeper-inspired puzzle game with a recursive twist. Each "mine" is a gateway to a new battlefield, each with its own cryptic logic to decipher. Navigate these nested systems and overcome quiz-like logic puzzles to unravel the chaos from the inside out.

About the Game

Minefield Fractalis is a puzzle-strategy game that re-imagines classic Minesweeper through a recursive, fractal structure. In this game, revealing a "mine" does not end your run; it opens a gateway to another, deeper battlefield nested within that very cell.

The core interaction is simple: reveal or flag, but the consequences are dictated by the specific, often cryptic, logic of each sub-battle. The outcome ripples back to the parent grid: a victory might clear the original cell, while a loss could damage your armor or alter the surrounding area.

The game unfolds across distinct worlds, each defined by its own set of mechanics and the information they yield. Your goal is to navigate these interlocking systems, decipher their governing mechanics, and exploit their logic to bring order to chaos.

Decipher the rules. Navigate the layers. Solve the system from the inside out.
