Hello! Thank you for checking out my game!

Ambush is a puzzle/action game inspired by Minesweeper. You play as a soldier whose transport helicopter has been shot down deep behind enemy lines. You must lead your squad through the jungle, avoiding enemy traps and ambushes! Use clues about your environment, and an arsenal of bullets and grenades to find a path to safety!

I hope you enjoy playing, and any and all feedback would be appreciated! :)

Special thanks to my friend BigManJD (https://biggermanjd.itch.io/) for creating the title logo!

fun game! It'd be cool to have rebirths once you make it past the front lines. maybe the game could get harder, but you would unlock certain perks (or maybe a store to buy bullets/grenades?). some other things:
- add a keyboard shortcut for switching between guns and grenades
- add a victory animation at the end
- swap the text hints with a visual (e..g a broken branches/disturbed ground/trash visual in the top left corner)
- add a leaderboard where you can compete with other players

This is a really fun and creative game!

Here are a few things I would suggest:
– allow movement with WASD
– make it so that when you find the tile with the exit on it, you don't enter it immediately, but you can choose whether or not to enter it. This will let you stay on the map in order to look for more loot before you leave.
– in the scrollable text box on the left, you can scroll down past the bottom of the text. Make it so you can't do this. Also, make the text box auto-scroll to the bottom whenever a new message appears
– add a sound effect when you kill an enemy squad
