PIXTILES
An artistic twist on classic Minesweeper - try to figure out what picture the animals want to make!
Place the next animal you draw by clicking your mouse on the board.
The animal will show you a number - that's the number of animals of that color that are in the 9 spaces around it, including that one. If you see a ZERO, that means none of its color are in that area.
Right-click to erase an animal or just click a new one to draw over them.
Right-click on an empty space to mark that one with an X - meaning you think it is blank in the final picture!
If you fill up the board, you're making your guess!
If you're wrong, GAME OVER!
Good luck with your PIXTILES!
PIXTILES is a submission for the GMTK Game Jam 2024 - "Built to Scale"

Oh this is really good. I wasn’t sure if I was being punished for guessing wrong, but once I realized I could swap my current tile for a different one by replacing it then it became more manageable. Realizing that the number represents only neighbours and not itself came at nearly the end. I got pretty close on my first one! Really cool concept, maybe just needed a more visual tutorial, but playing it revealed itself to me pretty naturally. Awesome game!
Thanks! Your image didn't come through, but just to clear that up, the number *does* contain itself, so a 9 is
X X X
X X X
X X X
All of those are the color. I would def add more tutorial and directions given more time to develop!
Thanks so much for playing :D
The game doesn’t seem to be loading for me, it gets stuck at 80% loading in my web browser for minutes.
Edit: It was firefox, switching to edge fixed it for me.
Yeah the new Godot export seems to be a tad buggy. I have had some success playing jam games on Edge where Chrome failed. I think its a bit of a random chance.
Who knew there was room for innovation on such a classic formula?
Ah thanks for the kind words :D
