Minecranker
A downloadable game
A basic Minesweeper clone for the Playdate, which I made mostly to learn how to make Playdate games. I mostly just duplicated the code of my Pico-8 Minesweeper clone to use as a basis to figure out the ins and outs of the Playdate.
Use the crank to choose settings on the main menu, and to move the camera while playing. A - reveal tile; B - place flag/?
Install on your Playdate using the 'side load' option. You can also load it in the Playdate simulator!

Hi! I noticed that the mines seem to be placed on the board already before I reveal the first box. This surprisingly often results in games that rely a lot on luck to be solved, because I start with a revealed number, or games that I lose immediately because the first box I revealed was a mine. Could you adjust it to generate the mines only when the first box is clicked, and then make sure that the generated board has a clear section where the slected box is? That would make it more similar to the classic Minesweeper.
