01
Flag the rock. Claim the floor.
A Sweeper is a subterranean tyrant with a giant disembodied hand. You mark slabs for digging, claim tiles, and raise rooms — Vault, Nest, Cluckery — while gold veins glitter in the stone.
Masters of Creation · Phase 0 playable slice
You are the villain. Carve a living dungeon and sweep the Brightlands clean of hope.
Linux and an ugly Web zip are on the download page. Android follows.
The realm
Management as villainy.
02
Hire the worst staff in the underworld
Scamps dig and haul. Droneflies, Hexwrights, and Cinderlings arrive through the Dark Gate. Feed them clucklings, pay them, slap them, drop them. They riot over payday and occasionally eat each other.
03
Hold the Vault Heart
Heroes of the Brightlands — Longbow, Berserker, Paladin — come to steal your gold and smash the Heart. If the Heart dies, you die. The raid is the exam.
Original work
A spiritual successor — not a clone.
Dungeon Sweeper recreates dungeon-management loops in a new 3D isometric world. Original names, original art, MIT code. It is not a remake, not a fork of KeeperFX or OpenKeeper, and it does not use anyone else’s IP.
From the vault
Play it when the builds land.
The Phase 0 slice is packaged: Linux desktop, plus a rough Web build. Dig, paint a Cluckery, attract specialists, and lose to the Paladin. Android comes after.
