About

Monster Sweeper

Features
Read full description

Monster Sweeper is a dungeon-crawler twist on the classic hidden-cell puzzle formula. Explore a grid-based dungeon where every tap matters. Instead of mines, the board hides monsters, artifacts, and deadly poison traps. The numbers on revealed cells show the total strength of adjacent monsters, so success depends on deduction, risk management, and smart combat choices rather than luck alone. Fight your way through the dungeon, collect loot, level up your hero, and prepare for a final boss battle. Regular enemies resolve automatically, while boss encounters add a tactical layer where you choose where to attack and where to block. Features: • A fresh blend of puzzle deduction and RPG progression • Numbers that show adjacent monster strength, not just enemy count • 10 monster tiers, from rats to infernal creatures • Artifacts that heal, boost stats, reveal danger, or expose weak enemies • Level-ups with meaningful choices between health and attack • Chain reveals and dynamic board updates as enemies are defeated • Tactical boss combat with attack and block targeting • Three difficulty levels • Achievements and leaderboards Easy mode is available for everyone. Unlock the full game to access Normal and Hard difficulties, achievements, and leaderboards.

Trace. Slash. Stay alive. Chainblade is a line-drawing puzzle crossed with a roguelite, inspired by Dungeon Raid. Link three or more matching tiles on a six by six board, cut enemies down with the sword, hold the line with shields and potions, and try to reach turn fifty alive. SIMPLE, THEN DEEP - Sword chains cut straight through enemies. A red cross marks anything you can kill this turn - Shields give armour, potions restore health, coins give score and gold - Clear ten coins at once for a coin pouch bonus BUILD YOUR OWN RUN - Level up to earn spells on cooldown: judgement lightning, barrier, freeze, gold rush and more - Collect relics from chests and shops and stack the effects - Fill the shield gauge to pick a permanent stat boost BOSSES IN THE WAY - A boss appears every ten turns. Four types stand between you and the end: normal, thorned (reflects), poison and life-draining GAME CENTER - Take your high score to the worldwide leaderboard Short enough for a gap in the day, deep enough to chew on. One decision changes the whole run.
