    So good.Maybe lean into some of the metal gear solid dialogue by having a long back and forth about "What's a mine?" "What do you mean 'mark a mine'?" "How do I know when I'm done?" etc.
  • testycool
    Was expecting Hideo Kojima in the credits.
  • NSUserDefaults
    Nice but the logos are skippable, which is not realistic.
  • MYEUHD

    There is also the classic "Minesweeper - The Movie"[1][1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHY8NKj3RKs

    Does anyone know if the voices are AI-generated? I was a little surprised; I don't think I would have questioned it if I heard them in a real game or video but since this seems to basically be a joke, I'm doubtful real voice actors were used.
  • fidotron
    But I didn't need to install a publisher specific launcher to run it.
  • cootsnuck
    I'm curious which TTS model was used for the "Nora" voice. I kept noticing vocal artifacts in her speech disfluencies. Which bothers me more than it probably should...
  • Toutouxc
    I was hoping for the thing where you play through like half of the game and only then it shows you the title against a dramatic vista.
  • theroadnotbacon
    I was absolutely hoping to see production babies in the credits. Can’t win ‘em all.
  • xbar
    I was angry at the wasted 30 seconds of opening licensed 3rd party software listings, but I stayed through to the end of the credits roll, laughing until I cried.This is Art.

    Needs a 128GB RAM, 100GB free disk space requirement.
  • TheAtomic
    Is there a help card? Or, how do you turn off the CC captions? They obscure the bottom of the play field on my Mactop.

    Missing:Sidequest to sweep 10 mines.Achievement after sweeping 5 minesThe yellow diamond is nice but what if I don't notice the diamond? I need a colored scent trail leading from my cursor to the yellow diamond, and a pinging noise when my cursor is near a mineMocapped minesJack Quaid$70

    So good. Looking forward to level 2 so we can find out what happened in Singapore.
  • LunicLynx
    Needs:- Checkpoints after each mine- DLC for rounded corners
  • MisterMunchkin
    Please expand this into a full open-world minesweeping game
  • mlekoszek
    Needs an 'always online' requirement
  • franze
    so, in case if you like minesweeper and doom ... https://dreadsweeper.franzai.com/

    Great parody - very "Focus, M"-esque. Often, it feels that we've lost sight of "If it's not fun, why bother".
  • xoxxala
    10/10 story. I look forward to the forthcoming motion picture adaptation from Skydance directed by Michael Bay.
  • progforlyfe
    You need to add achievements/trophies! Definitely need to achieve a trophy for clicking on the very first square, finding the first mine, your first flag, etc.
  • jandrese
    I like the part where it doesn't even matter if you hit a mine, you are on this train ride regardless of what you do.
  • ben_w
    Despite all the stuff it's parodying, this is still a lot better than Bomberman: Act Zero.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bomberman%3A_Act_Zero
  • derac
    What no 30 minute shaders compiling sequence?
  • larrydag
    I love the parody. Is this a treatise on modern game development? I hope so.
  • NSUserDefaults
    And which half of the staff gets fired day after release?
  • hiccuphippo
    We need a day-1 patch to align the mines to the center of their tile.
  • isoprophlex
    No lootboxes?
  • 361994752
    the non-stopping narration makes it so hard to actually sweep the mines....
  • jordigh
    icymi, we can also do this with Mario https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMh_APo2Xss
  • magnat
    Felix Varga and Johanna Kowalski (Online Services Engineers) must have done a really good job - with all the traffic from the HN front page login servers didn't go down and queue was almost instant.
  • wredcoll
    That was a great parody, but how much of those effects still worked even though you knew it was coming? The fade ins, blurring the outsides, the emotional voice talking to you... it definitely raised my interest more than just opening minesweeper!I mean, it doesn't last very long without something else going on, but there is a reason.
  • codeulike
    I need to sweep these mines.
  • dllrr
    That's hilarious. Spot on.
  • cgannett

  • lafalce
    I need to sweep these mines!
  • Lucasoato
    Incredible
  • colordrops
    First time I've laughed out loud at one of these sorts of things in a while...I was expecting it to open up on some WW2 style battlefield with smoke and explosions, but this was better.
  • pianoben
    I need to sweep these mines!
  • forgotTheLast
    Where do I enter my credit card info for the Season Pass and the special operator skin?

  • UtahDave
    This is hilarious
  • avereveard
    Not even a dlc and cosmetics?
  • cckolon
    There might be a mine here
  • jjmarr
    The ending needed to force you to click on a mine so you die in the cutscene lmao.
  • etchalon
    I laughed way way way too hard
  • duhballs
    Needs Debra Wilson
  • b3lvedere
    That was awesome
  • ReptileMan
    The part where the subtitles hide the mines is the best for me. Also talk with Ubisoft - they make AAAA games.
  • viccis
    Damn I didn't even have to Press Start to begin
  • bbeonx
