About Asteroids Minesweeper
Asteroids Minesweeper is definitely not your typical old school minesweeper. We took the classic game and added some twists and turns that will challenge even the most knowledgeable of physics- based champions! You work as a teleworker at Abstract Space Industry Corp to mine asteroids... but things happen to go terribly wrong! Now you'll get to experience minesweeper in a whole new light; play in a three dimensional world with complex game changing rules. You'll get to discover new effects and abilities in order to trim an asteroid. But be careful, don't get lost while orientating in a full 3D environment of explosive mines!
Challenges include
- Tutorial levels
- Random-generated levels for infinite replayability
- Levels with a cubes vertical counter, for deeper cogitation on where the mines are located
- Levels with mines moving from a cube to another, for more challenge!
- Levels with matching/entangled cubes, which have the same state!
Other characteristics
- Designed to work on PC or on tablet alike, with several different and combinable ways to play: using buttons, picking cubes with the mouse/finger, or orientating a 3D cursor with a keyboard or a Xbox 360 joypad
- For hackers and programmers: Fully moddable. The game is using an early new version of the Loving Cube Engine and as such can be modified by simply editing some Lua files
- A scenario in which you work as a teleworker of Abstract Space Industry Corp to mine asteroids, until things go wrong...
- A game made by one developer alone :)

This is a flawed game so while I recommend it, let me first go through the list of negatives: [list] [*]After the tutorial, guessing will come up here and there. The levels are randomly generated so if you get a particularly bad one you can just reload the level, but you will have to take chances occasionally. Though to make it less harsh, you are given several lives before the level is failed. [*]The camera is unwieldy. Rotation works fine but panning (moving the camera's focus) requires you to either double-click the block you want to focus on or moving it around with WASD+QE for the six possible directions. It's not as bad as other comments made it out to be but it makes it rather cumbersome on larger levels. It seems this problem stems from the developer's ambition to support as many control options as possible, with all mouse buttons already serving other purposes. [*]Being 3D, you don't get to see all fields from the start, especially on the denser levels. This becomes a challange when you have to remove "clue blocks" to see/mark what's behind them but not too many or you'll forget their clues and end up having to guess. [*]Not a complaint of me personally but this is not …1 found this helpful
Cool idea but i don't want to have to fight with the controls because i want to switch perspective
exactly what I look for good concept
The game at times puts you into positions where you have to guess to progress. There is no free cam, instead the camera is centred around a single block. This is not ideal, but by far not "Do Not Recommend, Refund" levels of unplayable. You get used to it. And that's it for bad stuff, in my opinion. It's a very nice variation on Minesweeper, and the graphics are clean and clear. I really enjoy this game as a way to keep busy whilst watching something. The 'moving mines' mode is my favourite. I'd still recommend it if the price was tripled.
Not the longest game on the main maps but totaly worth its price and also has custom maps. For me its a new twist on minesweeper beeing 3D and a fiew cool themes.
This game is minesweeper but 3d
