Basically, this game is laid out on a grid like Minesweeper. When you click a square it reveals what is there, or a number. Unlike Minesweeper, the number is the sum of the monster levels. As you kill monsters, you gain levels, thus allowing you to one-hit-kill stronger monsters.

It's less frustrating than Minesweeper, because:
* You can get the number under a monster's square by clicking on its corpse.
* When you're first clicking the board to get started, you're unlikely to actually die if you mess up.
* You can safely click all squares surrounding a number <= your level.

There are other difficulty levels as well, but this is the only one I've tried.

I'd say that the lack of a mark function (unless I missed something) makes this a lot more frustrating than the original, but this is still a great twist on a classic.

EDIT: I should read the instructions for browser games more. Great find!

You can mark tiles with numbers by pressing [A] and [D] or [Left] and [Right] while hovering the mouse over them.
When you press [Left] or [A], the number decreases, starting from the highest possible monster level.
When you press [Right] or [D], the number increases, starting from two.

Your edit implies that you found this, but I'm going to post it anyway. whee!
