## What is Illuminate the Dark Dungeon?

A dungeon crawler inspired by Minesweeper.

Each stage is a grid of hidden tiles. Numbers hint at how many monsters lurk nearby—just like mines. The twist: tapping a monster starts a battle. Win, and the path opens.
Progress by finding the key and unlocking the gate to the next stage. Choose your route carefully: uncover safe tiles, manage risky fights, and read the board to avoid being surrounded.

Features
- Minesweeper-style logic with RPG-style battles
- Keys & gates that turn every stage into a clear objective
- Quick tap controls, clear feedback, and compact stages for short sessions
- Strategy that rewards planning, not guesswork

Genres & search terms: minesweeper, dungeon puzzle, battle puzzle, grid strategy, dungeon crawler.
