Gameplay

Dweep is a purple creature who must negotiate a series of dangerous obstacles to rescue defenseless baby Dweeps. Obstacles include lasers, heat plates, bombs, and lots of other hazards. Dweep must bypass these using only available non-violent tools such as mirrors, wrenches, and buckets of water. The non-violent, mentally challenging nature of the game was a deliberate design feature. The game package contains 30 original game levels plus one secret bonus level. ''Dweep Gold'' also includes five free bonus levels and two expansion packs (20 levels each), as well as a number of custom levels.

Awards

* ''Dweep'' won the 2000 Shareware Industry Award. * The expansion pack, ''Dweep Gold'', won the 2001 Shareware Industry Award for Best Action/Arcade Game. (beating out '' Arkanoid'' for the honour)
