Welcome sweepers to our first post launch edition of Beyond the Grid!
It's been amazing seeing so many of you pick up a copy and leave us really nice reviews. It really helps motivate all of us here! Oh, and we've hit 50 reviews which means the first giveaway is open over in the Discord!
We're also sitting at Mostly Positive, so thank you all so much! As mentioned before, it really helps us with the Steam algorithm, so if you haven't already, please do leave us a review <3
This week on Beyond the Grid, we asked the devs about their inspirations for the game!
The game at first was intended to be a never-ending expanding board of Minesweeper, the idea for which came from watching a friend play minesweeper levels on his phone. Then after tinkering and testing a bit, we found a loop of clear a grid -> upgrade -> clear a harder grid much more intuitive and fun!
It started off as a little side project and you can peep some early days stuff in this post from 2 years ago - https://x.com/gameslongshot/status/1824344568629805319
