It all started with a game steeped in war. Mines everywhere, danger lurking, a cold grey world. I liked the core idea, but I thought: surely this can be done better. And that’s how MycoSweep was born.

The grey squares were replaced with calming shades of green. The logic stayed the same, but every war-related element was removed and replaced with peaceful, natural themes.

Google has even awarded the game the Teacher Approved badge. MycoSweep helps children and adults develop logical thinking and it does so in a completely peaceful way.

With the Android release, a whole range of issues immediately came to light. Android runs on an enormous variety of devices, and pretty much everything that could go wrong did go wrong somewhere. Hopefully, the new version has resolved a large portion of these problems.

On top of that, big improvements have been made to the overall app experience. Small tweaks here and there. The sound effects have been reworked, and the vibration feedback is now set up in a more logical and consistent way. New installations now start with sound enabled, but subtly, at 50% volume.
