    Missing:

    Sidequest to sweep 10 mines.

    Achievement after sweeping 5 mines

    The 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 mine

    Mocapped mines

      There should be additional audio logs you can find under some squares that provide snippits of backstory.

        This is minesweeper 33. I'n out sweeping mines and I ran across one that looks different than the others. I'll keep investigating while mine sweeping. I'm recording this 30 second clip onto an entire recording device with a 64gb SD card. I'll leave it on this rock for others to find. Don't worry, I have 11 other devices to record my short messages. Wait, the mine, it's glowing! I can't--

      Sorry, did you mean Achievement for Starting the Game for the First Time?

    But I didn't need to install a publisher specific launcher to run it.

      And then be forced to download a 42GiB update.

    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.

      I really enjoy this trope. The "Zelda Ocarina of Time if it were a modern game" series has the MGS style discussion, and the whole series is incredible.

      Here is the forest temple video which is a short sample of what to expect: https://youtu.be/KC656o7_zVk

    I was absolutely hoping to see production babies in the credits. Can’t win ‘em all.

    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.

    So good. Looking forward to level 2 so we can find out what happened in Singapore.

    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.

      I think the opening logo sequence is too short. Also it's missing agreement to 2-3 EULAs that you have to scroll down all the way for the accept button to get enabled. And the epilepsy warning. And the disclaimer that it's all a work of fiction.

    Where do I enter my credit card info for the Season Pass and the special operator skin?

    the non-stopping narration makes it so hard to actually sweep the mines....

      Don: Sounds like you're getting rusty. The Sweeper I knew in Singapore would never have choked like this from just a little background noise.

    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.
