First: CONGRADULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I member back when I did that the first time, great feeling.
Second: Yea, once you get total slaughter it sticks on that image every other time you ever finish it. Not sure if it's a bug or a feature. Sometimes I play in an Incognito window just to see the original ending,
I have conquered this game, gg well done Daniel this was a blast!
Final score 8/10, simple but tactical, with a lot of small touches, such as the minotaurs acting shocked when you open their chests, really making the game memorable. I'd suggest making it possible to access the mark mode by pressing a button on the screen, that way it becomes playable on touchpads too.
I think the lack of explanations for monster placement kinda works in the game's favor, adds a lot of replayability.
Great game! I like how you're forced to make educated guesses; it's about minimizing losses, opening up the playing field to be able to deduce how dangerous surrounding tiles can be, doing the maximum amount of damage each time before either upgrading or picking up a healing scroll (at least if you want to clear the whole board). The idea of being a dungeon crawler who doesn't know what danger surrounds him fits the vibe of the gameplay really well.
Some upgrades to the game that could be useful would be the abilities to:
- lock a tile from being clicked (I first wanted to save the lovers but accidentally killed one later in the game because I had 9 hearts left that I wanted to use because I was already able to upgrade, at that point I had been staring at the game for so long that I forgot about the achievement, it was a bit of a bummer)
- color group tiles and give that color a number (sometimes you know the value of a group of tiles but not of each individual tiles, keeping track of those groups can be overwhelming)
-add "lesser than" or "greater than" signs to tiles, next to a number (sometimes I knew tiles couldn't be certain values without knowing what value they were precisely; these signs would've been helpful then)
- need a double click before damaging a tile (it's easy to accidentally click once, which could lead to an immediate game over); this could be something player could adjust in the settings.
- block a player from damaging a tile if it is either known that they would die from that action (because the underlying monster was already revealed at some point) or when the player has already filled in a number on the tile that's higher than their current amount of hearts. (I lost a long run because of not looking to well at the damage numbers compared to my current amount of hearts; I already had more than 13 heart slots and was trying to see if I could clear the board entirely; a stupid mistake came with a big loss)
Otherwise, awesome game already, I will try it out again in the future.
If you loved this game as much as I did and wished for more, come try out our version that was heavily inspired by this masterpiece! It has more enemies, levels, items, and achievements!

Finally got the max score after 4 days. Great game!
CHECKMATE
What does the tiny little garden-gnome guy do? That's the one thing I haven't been able to figure out.
I think you need to find it a number of times before it gives u the 9 xp. It jumps around to a different location everytime u find it
he hides in empty spaces, if there are any empty spaces when you find him he moves, if there are no more empties he will turn into 9 exp instead.
Thoroughly enjoyed this! Thanks!
this is my favorite game of 2025
cool, took me a while to get it, 244 score
3 achievements by 13:06
Sorry if I'm ignorant, but what, if anything, does the download do?
Great game!! Thanks!!
Finally did it!!! got a lucky seed with the rat king and the slime mage, so took the chance to do this triple challenge
not sure why the image that's displayed is one where you kill everything on the board tho, maybe cause i've done that achievement before?

It's really hard to clear them, so i'm glad you made it
Random encounters. Avenging monsters, animated monster, monsters that summon in new monsters and the list goes on.
have you played dungeonsweeper yet?
That is a ripoff and generally abysmal.
Make new levels, encounters etc. Don't be lazy my pedigree chum.
Come un, upgrade the game and ask money for it.
Brilliant!
Show post...

And done.
After months and months of daily playing this, I finally reached the max pontuation. I must confess: I cried.
