Dweep Lightweight Web Version
A Tribute to a Classic Puzzle Game:Dweep
It was created and programmed by Steve Pavlina in 1999. I want to express my gratitude to the original creator for making this game that touched an entire generation.
I was fascinated by this game when I first played it. What made it special was its heartwarming premise: using non-violent, creative tools to rescue your children. Even today, being able to experience this game again fills me with emotion.
That's why I decided to recreate this classic and bring it to the web, so you can start solving puzzles right away in your browser.
This is the first version, featuring 6 levels from the original game. Please note that mobile support may not be optimal yet.
If you're also a fan of this game, please leave a comment! Your support will motivate me to continue improving the game and adding more levels.
