  Sweeper 1.2 Beta

  If you want to try the new 1.2 update early use the experimental build of the game. it completely overhauls scoring with the new "Quota" mechanic - You must make a certain amount of money by the end of each act, or you die. After each act, your money is reset to $0, so hoarding is not optimal. 1.2 also adds:1 Tag - Ablaze (Changes all bosses to The Inferno on round start) - Uncommon - $231 Boss - The Tower (Must full clear large grid) - 9x9 - Act 3+2 ChallengesHome Station - Start with Eternal Train Map and Eternal Locomotive Tags. - Banned Tags: Train Map, LocomotiveCultists - Start with Eternal Fossil and Two Zealot Tags2 PassesHadron Collider - Ephemeral Blocks may appear in shopElephant Foot - Ephemeral Blocks are free in shop1 FrameEternal - Tags with this frame cannot be sold or destroyed. - It only appears in challenge runs where you start with tags with this frame. It cannot be obtained otherwise. Have Fun! 1.2 WILL get more work, but this release is to get a better feel for what you all think of the game. PS: If you are having trouble getting achievements try pressing the 9 and 0 keys at the same time in the main menu - it should fix that way.

  Thank You Update (1.0.01)

  Thank you so much for supporting my game! Basically, I realized a bunch of stuff was BROKEN. Steam is a little finnicky with my game. Anyway, the game should be stable now, and Achievements and save data work fine now. Thank you and enjoy the game, wherever you're playing from. F.A.Q. Q) Some of the tiles have no number. What does this mean? A) That is a safe tile. It will not tell you the number of adjacent tiles. Using tags to give you the ability to use more clue tiles are available.
