Serial Deminer

This is a submission to ArtCenter 2024 Fall Gamejam

In Serial Miner, you take on the role of a skilled de-miner on a high-stakes mission to clear hazardous landmines and create a safe path for an incoming convoy. Using a suite of specialized gadgets — including a marking flag, a metal detector, and explosives — your objective is to locate, mark, and detonate mines in a strategic, precise manner to ensure no explosives are left undetected.

Your tools are essential, each with a unique purpose:

• Marking Flag: Place flags to identify mines you've found, helping you avoid rechecking areas and making your path safer.
• Metal Detector: Sweeps for hidden mines; listen for beeps that indicate the proximity of a mine.
• Explosives: Carefully place explosives on mines to clear them. Only use this gadget when in detonation range.

As you explore, keep in mind that any undetected mines can endanger the convoy. With limited resources, you'll need to think strategically and manage your gadgets wisely. Use the Goggle Gadget to reveal mine locations in a limited radius, adding a tactical layer to your de-mining efforts.

Controls:

• WASD to move
• Mouse to look around
• Q to switch between gadgets
• E to pick up a placed explosive
• Left Mouse Button to place an explosive or flag

Prepare to engage with a world that demands caution, precision, and skill. Can you clear all mines in time, or will a hidden threat compromise your mission?
