How Dwarf Sweeper plays
The numbers in Dwarf Sweeper represent the combined strength of still-hidden monsters in the surrounding eight tiles. Revealed monsters are excluded from that total. That is a concrete rule difference worth learning before importing habits from another minesweeper game.
A selected dwarf interacts with the chosen tile, and hero and monster attack at the same time. Revealing something can therefore become a combat decision as well as a deduction. The developer describes a squad with different traits and a goal of reaching the bottom of the third floor, giving the small board a run structure.
Who might enjoy it
For players who enjoy both inference and choosing which unit should take a risk. It is more involved than revealing identical safe squares, but deliberately narrower in scope than a large strategy campaign.
Controls and device requirements
Click a character, then a tile; begin on the Start tile. Mouse-only play is documented, with optional 0–9 and X keyboard annotations for marking tiles.
The creator lists an HTML5 prototype with mouse input. Small clues and selectable characters make a desktop pointer a practical choice; physical phone/tablet support was not verified.
Before you play: Game-jam prototype. Learn its hidden-monster counting rule in the tutorial instead of assuming standard Minesweeper numbers.
