1.1 High Concept

Minesweeper Plus is a logic puzzle game and a variation of the classic Minesweeper game with additional time constraints and difficulty progression. The original goal is to uncover all the squares without a mine on a grid in the shortest time. However, the game focuses on establishing a sense of urgency in completing the greatest number of stages in rapid succession within a dynamic time limit.

The game constantly challenges the players’ minds and reflexes to quickly and precisely clear multiple grids with increasing danger in order to take back the stolen gold. Players have a mission to collect as much gold as possible, and they aim to stay hidden in the treasury of the thieves. As they navigate the treasury, bombs must be avoided and decisions must be made swiftly.
