Forest Minesweeper Mockup

[ilkke]

My crit is that all the greens have low contrast. The border should be darker than the board. The darkened fields should be easier to tell apart from the light ones. Cellphones have mostly lousy contrast so you should make sure everything stands out really well.

What happened to the space guy?

He should totally be Custom.

I still think you should add a little something to the woman. Everything else is clearly themed, cowboy-desert, octopus-sea... but woman-forest? She looks so generic. Maybe add a leaf to her hair to make her a nymph or make her a jungle girl or put a flower in her hair to make her a hippie or anything that links her to the theme of her board.

Yeah, I was enjoying the nymph look on the girl too. But then came the cowboy and the octopus(?) and she seem to be out of place, all of the sudden.
I feel a slight lack of cohesion when I look at the character choices. It's like in that game: "which one of these is not an animal?" and then there is a cork lying in the middle of the zoo, except that in this case, each character takes me to one different group of sensations. I think since mine-sweeper is a casual game of sorts, I think a clearer relation between the characters should work better (like you did with the basic themes. Forest, Desert, Sea. Green, Yellowish, Blue. Perfect!).

Suggestions:

A: Fantasy
1. Forest - nymphy girl. Pointy ears, wings, crown of flowers (leaves)
2. Desert - maybe a little red sand daemon. Snake/lizard resemblance, wearing sand-colored rags (Tuareg feel).
3. Sea - a little sea man with fins for ears and fish "lips".

B: Animals
Tons of options! Would look lovely if all looked like your cute octopus.

C: Heroes(or)Villains (couldn't come up with better examples, sorry)
1. Jungle boy (Tarzan style!)/pollution dude(environmental cliché villain)
2. Cowboy/Bank robber
3. Sailor (Popeye!)/Pirate (Har!)

War themed (relates well to mines)
1. Army - leaf camouflage
2. Army - desert camouflage
3. Navy

Did you know that an anagram of Forest Minesweeper Mockups is "Feron Weeps Sometimes, Puckr."?

But anyway,
I think, just like the original minesweeper, different numbers should have different colors.  I've associated the numbers with the colors so much on the original that it actually helps me read the numbers more quickly.
