DinoDig: Fossil Sweeper

DinoDig: Fossil Sweeper is a pure deductive logic puzzle game set in the world of paleontology. Combining the perimeter line constraints of Nonograms with the localized proximity numbers of Minesweeper, DinoDig delivers a completely deterministic puzzle experience where every single quarry is solvable through logic alone. No 50/50 guesses, no trial-and-error, and no luck required. Grab your field tools, inspect the rock strata, and carefully excavate genuine prehistoric dinosaur skeletons to mount in your private Museum Rotunda. THE DUAL-CONSTRAINT LOGIC SYSTEM Classic grid puzzles often force blind guesses or tedious calculation. DinoDig unites two complementary logic mechanics into a seamless deductive flow: - Perimeter Line Scanners: Edge totals indicate the exact count of fossilized bone segments buried in each row and column. - Subsurface Acoustic Sensors: Chiseled rock tiles reveal proximity numbers indicating how many surrounding 3x3 tiles contain delicate fossil remains. - Cross-Referencing Deduction: When local neighbor tiles seem ambiguous, perimeter totals provide the missing constraint to guarantee safe progress. - Guaranteed Safe Openings: Every quarry provides at least one zero-fossil row or column to start your excavation with confidence. - Natural Cluster Cascades: Excavating empty rock pockets naturally reveals adjacent safe ground and acoustic readings. TACTILE FIELD EXCAVATION TOOLS - Steel Chisel: Strike through barren limestone, shale, and sandstone to uncover empty ground. - Plaster Jacket: Apply protective field jackets over delicate fossil bones. Plastered tiles are locked and protected from accidental chisel damage. - Dynamic Feedback: Completed rows and columns automatically dim with chalk strike-through lines, keeping your focus on active search areas. HANDCRAFTED CAMPAIGN ACROSS 4 FORMATIONS Progress through 80 hand-designed, mathematically verified quarries across four distinct prehistoric geological strata: 1. Cretaceous Shales: Master core excavation rules across fine limestone beds. 2. Jurassic Quarry: Tackle expanding grids and complex multi-bone matrices in golden sandstone. 3. Triassic Badlands: Navigate intricate cluster deductions in terracotta silt. 4. Primeval Ridge: Test advanced logical subtraction on challenging slate and granite quarries. ASSEMBLE THE MUSEUM ROTUNDA Every successful excavation recovers an articulated skeletal segment. Rebuild 16 complete prehistoric skeletons: - Formations include legendary theropods, sauropods, ceratopsians, and armored dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus Rex, Velociraptor, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Spinosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Allosaurus, and more. - View assembled skeletons on individual museum pedestals. - Read authentic paleontological field notes, classification data, fossil discovery locations, and anatomical trivia. - Discover rare fossilized amber inclusions preserved deep within the rock. DESIGNED FOR FOCUSED PLAY - Step-by-Step Interactive Tutorial: Learn perimeter scanning, acoustic depth reading, and plaster application in a guided field training quarry. - Logical Hint Engine: If you ever find yourself stuck, request a hint that explains the exact deductive step and reasoning without spoiling the full puzzle. - Offline and Private: Fully playable without an internet connection. No account creation, no tracking, and no data collection. - Clean Ergonomics: Single-tap tool switching, customizable sound effects, and subtle haptic feedback calibrated for comfortable one-handed play.
