About the Game

The Macro-Mines is a rogue-lite platformer where the world is reigned by rules of the iconic game 'Minesweeper'. In this sci-fi maze of shifting tiles and hidden dangers, you'll jump, dig, and uncover the secrets buried deep within a forgotten mine.

Each tile holds a clue — is it a mine, a gem, or nothing…? One wrong move could mean your end, but calculated risks can lead to rich rewards.

It seems that some strange creatures are roaming this forgotten mine, dealing with them might just earn you a few extra gems — if you survive the encounter. But monsters and mines aren’t the only dangers lurking here, so you better keep your eyes open wide.

Use the gems obtained to buy from the local store, to increase you odds of survival, or save them all to pay the fee to get to the upper levels.

Even if you do not get to cross a level, do not worry, each run, depending on your performance, you will be able to upgrade your excavator, so in the next run you will be able to reach further.

Every run counts. Even if you don't make it to the exit, depending on your performance, you will be able to upgrade your excavator with a skill tree, giving you better tools and abilities to push further on your next attempt.

 

Meet roBob, a friendly ally that will help you to cross the mine, by guarding the shop, teaching you about the world and it’s mechanics or just vibing along you.
