Mine Gems

{
  "game": {
    "name": "Mine Gems",
    "provider": "BGaming",
    "genre": "Ladder / climb ('mine sweeper' style) instant-win crash game. NOT a reel slot: there are no reels, paylines, spinning symbols, scatters, wilds, or free-spins feature. Documented per the brief's explicit instruction to describe it on its own terms rather than force reel-slot vocabulary onto it.",
    "theme": "Underground diamond mine. The player character is implied, not shown (no avatar) — the visual identity is built entirely from mine/cave scenery and two tile icons: a blue diamond gem (safe) and a lit stick of dynamite (fatal).",
    "documentation_purpose": "Exhaustive accessibility documentation (blind/low-vision screen-reader users, deaf/hard-of-hearing users, color-blind users of all types, motor-impaired users) built from desktop screenshots (1280x800), verbatim on-screen text, and zoomed pixel crops.",
    "method_notes": "All numbers below were read directly off screenshots or verified arithmetically against real balance deltas (see payout_mechanic). Anything not legible or not directly observed is listed in unreadable_or_uncertain and was NOT invented. The demo balance/currency label 'FUN' is the demo-mode placeholder currency used only for this capture session and is described here only where it appears verbatim on screen (e.g. in the Balance/Total-bet readouts) — it is not documented as a game property.",
    "language": "English"
  },

  "color_palette": {
    "overall_background": "Dark, cool blue-grey cave/rock scenery filling the sides of the screen: jagged stone wall silhouettes in near-black and slate blue, with clusters of glowing pale-blue crystal formations (raw amethyst-like shards) decorating the lower-left and lower-right corners of the play area.",
    "grid_panel": "The 5x12 tile grid sits on a slightly lighter navy-blue rounded rectangular panel, separated from the cave background by a subtle drop shadow.",
    "locked_tile_state": "Rows not yet reached: flat dark navy-blue square tiles with a faint darker diamond-shaped bevel carved into the surface, no icon, low contrast (hard to distinguish from the panel background) — this is the visually 'quietest' state.",
    "active_tile_state": "The single row currently awaiting the player's click: tiles switch to a bright icy cyan/white gradient with a visible cracked-ice texture (white fracture lines across a light-blue frosted surface); the specific tile under the mouse cursor becomes almost pure white (hover highlight, brightest state on screen).",
    "revealed_safe_tile": "A blue faceted diamond icon (multiple shades of blue with white highlight facets, cartoon gem-cut style) drawn on a dark navy tile background.",
    "clicked_safe_tile": "Same blue diamond icon, but the tile behind it is lit bright green (a solid green square with a soft glow/vignette) and the diamond itself appears brighter/lit — this is the ONE tile per row the player actually selected.",
    "revealed_dynamite_tile": "A stick of dynamite icon: two/three red paper-wrapped cylinders bound with a dark blue-grey strap, brown twisted fuses meeting at a bright glowing orange-yellow spark, drawn on a dark navy tile background — shown on the 4 unclicked tiles of a row once that row is revealed.",
    "exploded_tile": "The single dynamite tile the player actually clicked turns into a solid warm orange-red square with a darker brown/black scorched splash pattern radiating from the center (explosion silhouette) and a thin bright-orange border glow; small spark/ember particles are drawn drifting onto the immediately adjacent tile.",
    "row_multiplier_labels": "Small vertical text printed outside both the left and right edges of the grid, one per row, reading e.g. 'x1.23' ... 'x14.28'. Color is a muted steel-blue/grey for rows not yet reached, and switches to a warm gold/orange for the row(s) at or below the player's current highest cleared step (seen in the Step 9/12 frame: labels x7.31 down to x1.23 are gold, x9.14 upward are still steel-blue).",
    "progress_indicator_bar": "A slim vertical rounded-rect track to the right of the grid, pale steel-blue outline on the cave background; the lower portion (already-climbed height) fills in a brighter sky-blue, and a small diamond-shaped white/blue marker (identical silhouette to the diamond gem icon) sits at the top of the filled portion, marking current height.",
    "bottom_bar": "A solid near-black / very dark navy horizontal bar across the bottom of the screen, spanning the full width, containing balance/bet text and control icons in white/light-grey.",
    "start_button": "Large circular button, bottom-right of the bottom bar: bright orange-to-yellow radial gradient fill, bold black 'START' label, thin lighter-orange rim.",
    "cash_out_button": "Same size/position circular button, shown only mid-round (replaces START): a green-to-yellow-green gradient fill (brighter green at the bottom, yellow-green at the top), bold black 'CASH OUT' label on two lines.",
    "top_bar": "Transparent-over-background top strip: BGaming provider badge (an orange/amber square with a bold black capital 'B') at the top-left, followed by the game wordmark; a white speaker/volume icon and a light-grey mm:ss time readout at the top-right.",
    "wordmark": "'MINE' in bold white letters, a blue faceted-diamond icon in place of a space, 'GEMS' in bold cyan/turquoise letters — same wordmark repeated as the header of every info-booklet page (About/Paytable/Help).",
    "modal_panels": "Info booklet (paytable/help) and the Audio settings dialog both use a dark charcoal-grey/near-black rounded panel with light-grey/white body text and white section headings, overlaid on a dimmed (darkened, ~50% black overlay) view of the grid behind it."
  },

  "field_structure": {
    "grid_size": "Fixed 5 columns x 12 rows. Confirmed both by the in-game rules text ('The field size is 5x12') on help_p1.png and by manually climbing/panning through all 12 rows in a live round.",
    "tiles_per_row": "Exactly 4 diamond (safe) tiles and 1 dynamite (fatal) tile per row; column position of the dynamite tile is randomized independently each round and appears different row to row within the same round (verified visually: dynamite sits at a different column in nearly every row of the captured rounds).",
    "no_configurable_risk": "There is NO player-configurable setting for number of mines, risk level, or grid size anywhere in the UI. This was verified through two independent channels: (1) behavioral — clicking the vertical progress-indicator bar before a round starts produced no visible change to it or to the multiplier ladder (_probe_slider.png); (2) documentary — the full 4-page rules booklet never mentions a risk/mine-count option, and describes Settings as being limited strictly to audio volume; a single flat RTP figure (98.4%) is given rather than a table of RTP-per-risk-level, which would be expected if risk were adjustable.",
    "viewport_note": "At the default 1280x800 desktop viewport the grid panel only shows 5 full rows plus a sliver of a 6th at any time; it pans/scrolls automatically as the player advances up the ladder. The same panning can be triggered manually with the mouse wheel over the grid without spending a step or affecting the round (used to visually confirm the full 12-row ladder in one round)."
  },

  "gameplay_loop": {
    "start": "Player sets Total Bet with the +/- stepper, then presses the START button. A wager equal to Total Bet is deducted from the balance immediately when the first tile of row 1 is clicked (not when START is pressed) — confirmed by comparing balance before/after a lost round vs. a not-yet-started round.",
    "step_prompt": "During an active round, the center of the bottom bar (where 'Choose your bet and press Start' normally sits) is replaced by two stacked lines: a green 'Cashout: <amount> FUN' readout (updates after each cleared row) above a plain white 'Step N/12' counter.",
    "on-screen_prompt_overlay": "While a round is active and awaiting input, a large overlay appears centered over the grid: 'Step N/12' in bold orange/gold, and 'Select a tile' below it in white with the word 'tile' in cyan — this overlay is present at least on early/mid steps (seen at Step 3/12 and Step 9/12); it appears to fade once the player has interacted with that step (not visible on the very first base_game frame where no round is active).",
    "click_tile": "Clicking any one of the 5 tiles in the currently highlighted (icy/frosted) row: if it is one of the 4 diamonds, that tile lights up bright green, the other 4 tiles in the row are revealed (diamonds show as plain diamond icons, or the one dynamite shows as its icon), and the highlighted row advances one level up the ladder. If the clicked tile is the dynamite, that tile turns into the orange 'exploded' tile and the round ends immediately in a loss.",
    "loss_condition": "Clicking the row's dynamite tile ends the round: 'you lose your original wager and any previous winnings' (help_p1.png, verbatim). The balance shown after a loss equals the balance from before the round started (verified: bet 5.00 FUN, dynamite hit at step 5, balance unchanged from 1,019.25 to 1,019.25).",
    "cash_out": "A CASH OUT button (green/yellow gradient, bottom-right, same position as START) is available and enabled from the moment step 1 is cleared onward. Clicking it ends the round immediately and pays Total Bet x (multiplier of the last fully-cleared row) to the balance.",
    "auto-complete_cap": "Per help_p1.png (verbatim): 'you can also proceed to the next field row for a much greater payout! Once 1,000.00 FUN is reached, the winning amount is paid to the player and the game round stops.' I.e. reaching a cumulative payout of 1,000.00 FUN (in whatever currency the session uses) during a round auto-cashes-out and ends the round, even without the player clicking CASH OUT.",
    "collect_note": "help_p4.png additional-information text states: 'If the game requires \"Collect\" - \"Collect\" will take place and the win from the round will be added to the player balance. If the game requires action from a player, the result is counted assuming that the player has chosen the action with no risk without raising the initial bet.' — this is boilerplate malfunction/interruption-handling language (what happens if a round is abandoned mid-way), not a distinct game feature."

    "how_read": "Each value is a static per-row label printed on both the left and right edge of the grid next to that row (e.g. 'x1.23' beside the bottom row, 'x14.28' beside the top row) — not a dynamically-computed number. Read directly off row labels while climbing/panning a single round (steps 1-9 clicked live, steps 10-12 read via wheel-pan over the same round without spending additional steps).",
    "consistency_check": "Ladder values are identical regardless of bet size — confirmed at bet = 1.00, 5.00, and 100.00 FUN (bet_min.png, win_screen.png/round_lost.png at bet 5.00, bet_max.png), all showing the same 12 printed values.",

    "color_blind": "The three critical states are each doubled with a non-color cue: locked tile = flat/no icon (shape+texture), active/selectable tile = frosted-ice texture with crack lines (texture, not just brighter blue), safe/diamond = distinct diamond silhouette icon, fatal/dynamite = distinct dynamite-stick silhouette icon, and the outcome of a fatal click = distinct scorched-splash silhouette. Row multiplier labels are also printed as plain text numbers (e.g. 'x5.85'), not conveyed by color alone. Residual risk: the 'cleared row, player's chosen tile' state IS conveyed primarily by a green glow with no accompanying icon change beyond the diamond already being there — but since only diamonds (never dynamite) can be green-lit, the diamond shape itself remains the safe non-color signal.",
    "deaf_hard_of_hearing": "No information appears to be audio-only; all round outcomes (cash-out amount, step count, win/loss) are shown as on-screen text/icons. Sound is limited to decorative music and sound-effects toggles in the Audio dialog."

    "Whether the auto-complete payout cap described in help_p1.png ('Once 1,000.00 FUN is reached...') is a fixed absolute number in every currency/session or scales with bet size — the rules text states it as a flat '1,000.00 FUN' figure and this was not independently reached/tested during capture (would require an extremely high bet and long clean run)."
