Hey Product Hunt
I built Bob the Miner solo as a side project - I wanted to see if a simple twist on match-3 (fusion instead of just clearing) could still feel satisfying after the hundredth level. Bob himself started as a small decorative mascot and slowly grew a personality of his own (he now has opinions, an outfit collection, and a favorite pickaxe).
It's still very much a work in progress - I'm actively tuning level difficulty and would genuinely love to know: does the fusion mechanic click for you right away? And if you hit a level that feels way too hard or way too easy, tell me which one.
Thanks for checking it out!
