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.
