3 | A 1999 PuzzleGame for [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer PC]] by Dexterity Software. Dweep is a friendly ball of fur who needs your help in getting to his children. Each level is a little puzzlebox where you need to use inventory items appropriately to get Dweep to the exit while making sure he survives. |

5 | The game was initially released with 30 levels (plus 1 bonus level), with five additional levels included later in version 1.05; there were also two expansion packs. All the maps were eventually collected in one combined release, ''Dweep Gold''. |

9 | !!The game features the following tropes: |
10 | * CartoonBomb: The in-game bombs. |
11 | * EverythingTryingToKillYou: Invoked by the title screen, which shows deadly lasers, bombs, wrenches, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking carrots]] etc. all launching towards the carefree Dweep. Also counts as [[CoversAlwaysLie Title Screens Always Lie]]--half of this stuff isn't even in the game, and most of the rest is harmless. |
12 | * ExcusePlot: Dweep is trapped somewhere and has to get to his kids. |
13 | * HarmlessFreezing: Results from stepping on the freeze plates. When unfrozen, Dweep is good as new, if quite wet. |
14 | * HaveANiceDeath: Numerous possible death messages. |
15 | -->[[WhatTheHellPlayer Stop that. This is a nonviolent game.]]\ |
16 | [[WhatTheHellPlayer Please control your psychotic tendencies.]]\ |
17 | Was that really necessary?\ |
18 | [[SarcasmMode That was really creative.]]\ |
19 | Let's just pretend that never happened.\ |
20 | [[TooDumbToLive Very brave, but none too bright.]]\ |
21 | Did you mean to do that?\ |
22 | Hasta la bye bye, Dweep.\ |
23 | Perhaps you should try a different approach.\ |
24 | Dweep's fur appears to be rather flammable. |
25 | * LightAndMirrorsPuzzle: Laser beams and mirror figure into many puzzles. |
26 | * NintendoHard: There's ''no'' room for error at all. You'll restart a lot of times. |
27 | * ProtagonistTitle |
28 | * RedHerring: To make the puzzles even harder, the levels often contain "decoy" items or other features meant to lure the player onto a false train of thought. |
29 | * SweepingAshes: Apart from the "sweeping" part, but Dweep turns into a blinking pile of ashes if he's hit by a laser or bomb explosion ([[VideoGameCrueltyPotential or is burned by the player with a torch]]). |
30 | * WaddlingHead: Dweep. As far as we know, he cannot even walk, he just hops. |
