💣 MINEPATH

One chicken. One minefield. No second chances.

MINEPATH is a browser-based minesweeper survival game. Navigate a hidden minefield tile by tile, find the checkpoint, and get out before the timer runs out — or before you step on something that ends your run instantly.

No hearts. No retries. One wrong tap and you're done.

How to Play

  • Tap tiles to reveal them
  • Avoid mines hidden across the grid
  • Reach the checkpoint tile in the corner to clear the level
  • Collect 🌾 seeds by surviving — seeds are your currency
  • Use power-ups hidden in safe tiles — shields, slow-mo, reveals, double score, magnet
  • Timer drains faster as levels increase — not just shorter, actually faster

Step on a mine → instant game over. No hearts. No cushion.


What's New in V4 — The Sanctuary Update

The biggest update yet. MinePath now has a living world, a skill system, an endless mode, and deep progression that keeps going long after the levels end.

🏡 The Sanctuary

The home screen is now your Sanctuary — a persistent hub you build and grow over time. Your equipped chicken and pet are visible here, and the whole hub comes alive as you upgrade it.

🏗️ Hub Upgrades & Buildings

Spend seeds to upgrade three structures in your hub:

  • Seed Silo — Generates passive seeds over time while you're away. Collected automatically on launch.
  • Training Nest — Boosts XP earned per level cleared (+20% per upgrade level). Also speeds up egg incubation.
  • Playground — Grows with the Sanctuary as development continues.

🥚 Hatchery & Egg System

Eggs now drop randomly after completing levels, with three rarity tiers:

  • 🟤 Brown Egg — Common
  • 🔵 Blue Egg — Uncommon
  • 🥇 Golden Egg — Rare (higher chance at deeper levels)

Eggs incubate in real time. Upgrade the Training Nest to hatch faster. A notification dot on the Hub button tells you when eggs are ready.

⭐ Player XP & Leveling

You now have a persistent player level and XP bar. Earn XP by clearing levels and finishing runs. Each level-up rewards Feather Points — the currency of the Skill Tree.

🌿 Skill Tree (21 Skills, 4 Paths)

Unlock permanent passive abilities using Feather Points across four skill paths:

Path Skills
👁️ Scout Quick Eyes, Wider Vision, Hazard Sense
🛡️ Tank Shield Master, Tough Feathers, Blast Resistance
🔍 Merchant Seed Finder, Bargain Hunter, Golden Touch
🐔 Skin Unique 3-skill tree for each skin you own

Each path follows Basic → Rare → Epic — you must unlock the previous tier before advancing. Skin skills are tied to skin ownership, giving real value to collecting every skin.

Skin-Exclusive Skills

Skin Basic Rare Epic
🚀 Space Zero Gravity (15% mine skip) Orbit Scan (+2 reveal tiles) Warp Step (teleport once per run)
🥷 Ninja Shadow Step (first tile always safe) Smoke Bomb (free peek every 3) Assassin's Eye (mines show faint shadow)
👑 Royal Royal Decree (+15% seeds) Tax Collection (bonus cache every 5 levels) Golden Crown (20% shop discount)
👻 Ghost Phase Through (20% mine pass) Haunting (auto-reveal nearby mines) Possession (survive one death per run)

🔁 Endless Mode

A brand new game mode — an auto-scrolling tile runner across 5 themed worlds:

Theme Hazard
🐔 Classic None
🔥 Lava Heat waves
❄️ Ice Slippery tiles
🌿 Jungle Overgrowth
🌌 Galaxy Gravity anomalies

The grid scrolls upward continuously. Tap tiles to survive. Difficulty and scroll speed ramp up the longer you last. Theme changes every few floors.

🌍 5 Biomes

The game world is now built around five distinct environments, each with unique hazards and tile styles: Green Meadows, Glacial Tundra, Volcanic Forge, Midnight Swamp, and Windswept Plains.
