Much improved over minesweeper. Though instructions are horrid as possible. In addition to working your way from clear spots, this version has you going back to get more exp to level. There's also more math involved. Once you figure out how to play, especially if you are proficient in mine sweeper, then you'll be at ease.

It's hard to tell the 6 from the 8, the resolution is so small, but it's a great game. I've zoomed it to a very large size to play.
Badge suggestion: I Know My Limits - for getting through the whole game without losing any HP.

Once again, Hojamaka has demonstrated lots of innovation with this variation on the theme of Minesweeper. It really was a lot of fun, although I found it to be pretty easy. (As long as you don't click on a dragon when you start!) For example, if you are Level 2 and you see a square that says "1" or "2", there is no danger in clicking any of the squares around it. It is ESSENTIAL to mark the squares if one intends on beating this game. As others have said, once you figure out how this game is played, it is a LOT of fun!

It would be nice if the number you get from a monster was in the same color as the monster. That way you would still know its level.

the health loss you get from stepping on too high a level monster(mine):
if you are level 1: 2 gives 2 damage, 3 gives 6 damage, 4 and 5 kills (12 and 20 damage)
if you are level 2: 3 gives 3 damage 4 gives 4 damage and 5 kills you (10 damage)
if you are level 3: 4 gives 4 damage 5 gives 5 damage
if you are level 4:5 gives 5 damage
if you are level 5: ALT F4 will kill your game, so does closing your browser or reloading and such but other than that you are safe.

fantastic buried gem that i found by clicking recommended games sidebar. great strategy once you understand how it works. Too bad the lack of coherent english instructions probably hold this game back (the english instructions on the version on the dev's site are much more comprehensible).

If you get an error message, try one of the links marked as 'some other difficulty' in the description. No guarantee they'll work (They worked for me), but it's worth a try.

Great game but really needs clearer instructions. Not a good sign if I need to go read comments to understand how the game works.

A 5 star game if you make the instructions more clear, similar to what LouWeed posted and it at the top of the best posts.

Can I please port this onto my smartphone? I want to know the contented feeling of always carrying a monstersweeper dungeon in my pocket.

Coolest minesweeper game ever! In some ways it is easier and more forgiving than the original version. I love it, love it!

Absolutely fascinating twist on minesweeper! I love that hitting a monster on your first few clicks--which are always purely guesswork--isn't an automatic lose. Thanks to all the commenters w/helps too :)

This is fantastic! A great twist on Minesweeper. So satisfying to run back over all the mines you marked once you reach the right level: blam blam blam blam blam blam!

A couple of additional controls/features would take this from being an excellent game to a game that was a delight to play
- "mouse drag" clearing - being able to clear an area by dragging your mouse across it rather than clicking cell by cell.
- "two button clear" being able to clear all surrounding squares by clicking both mouse buttons (as in minesweeper)
- Auto-clear on level up - if you mark a square (as a 3 say) then when you hit that level those squares should auto clear
They are only minor additions to what is a great concept but would bring the game to a new level :)

Btwguys, you can mark squares you haven't uncovered with the left and right arrow keys (or A and D). Hover over a square with your mouse and hit the right key to mark it going up from 2 to 5. Hit left to mark it going down from 5 to 2.

This game is awesome. I love Minesweeper and I love RPGs; I love the combination of logic and taking out the low levels first then building your way up. Excellent game.

At first I thought a dumb minesweeper ripoff. However, quickly understanding the rules I had a lot of fun. This game makes a truly original, addictive, and fun spin at a classic game we all love.
