Dubloon Disaster Guide by Elvin

I am recommending going against the convention of taking out the mines in the game. In fact keep 9 mines in the map as often as you can. Destroying the mines is risky and time consuming. There is no guarantee the next time you pick up a dubloon another mine wont pop up right next to you. My strategy is this.

Keep the 9 mines in a centre mass. The assumption here is you should be quite a good player. Dive in between two mines and you would bring them closer. If there are 3 mines, stay in the centre and let them move towards you and then move away. This way you would have 3 mines quite close to each other.

Dubloon Disaster: Behavior of Mines by Mark Ellis

This is a guide for those who can’t seem to stop hitting the mines. This explains why they follow you and ways to use it to your advantage.

OK, basically the point of the game is to collect the coins that drop out of the boat but not to be hit by the heat-seeking mines.

First of all the mines are not heat-seeking, the tactic they use on following you is biased on the gravity-well property. You’ve probably seen this in many boring physics videos about black holes and such. Just imagine your boat is a black hole and that all the mines are not following you, they are “falling” into the well. This is why they go faster the closer they get to you and why the ones at the other side of the screen don’t seem to move at all.
