I still want to do more tweaking and polishing to this, but I'm ready to share a minigame I've been working on. Straitsweeper. Minesweeper, but a longer, scrolling map where you also have to worry about clearing a safe path before a tanker goes through the strait.

Straitsweeper
A tanker is transiting a mined strait. Sweep the route and mark the mines before it arrives.
