Having spent far too many hours playing Minesweeper on Windows machines, I figured I’d write a game that bears some resemblance to actual mine-clearing.

Your vehicle is a remote-controlled minehunter, with various attachments and various ships to protect depending on the difficulty level you're playing on. Head to Help -> How to Play… for a three-minute tutorial that explains everything you need to know.

Requirements

Minehunter requires the Java 6 runtime environment, which you probably have already. If not, you can get it from here. Once that’s installed, just double-click on the downloaded JAR file and it should run.

Bugs and Features

As far as I’m aware there aren’t any bugs in this game, but it never really got tidied up and given a nice interface so it’s not the greatest-looking thing in the world.

Issues with this application are tracked on my Mantis server, which is open to anyone to sign up, report bugs and request features. Please report any issues you find!
