Cavernsweeper is the almost-excruciatingly difficult aftermath of smashing together probably the world's easiest maze and Minesweeper.
How to Play
---------------------
Find blue control tiles in the bottom grid to move your character. Click any blank tile to reveal what lies beneath it. Revealing empty green tiles will give you information about any control tiles in the 3x3 square surrounding them, while finding a blue control tile will cause your character to move in the direction indicated.
For example, a green tile with "<1 >2 V0 ^0" on it would have 1 left-pointing control tile and 2 right-pointing control tiles somewhere in the squares directly around it (including diagonals).
To keep track of any control tiles you think you've found and don't want to activate accidentally, right-click to mark them with an arrow.
Revealing all of the green tiles on the control board will refresh it with a whole new set of tiles.
Get to the treasure and it's all yours, but bash into a wall or fall into lava and your circuits are toast. Not the tasty kind, the frazzled robot kind. Ouchies.
