It’s very possible to defeat the dragon. I can do it pretty regularly after a day of heavy playing. Getting the achievements is tougher. And I still haven’t gotten a clean wipe yet (I’ve been 1 tile away twice though)
Comment on Playing Dragonsweeper because of Ars' article. Did I have any way out of this without guessing?

I was one heart away from getting 13 hearts, but at that point I was out of options. 😫

Finally got my first full clear this morning, and I’ve gotten 2 more since then. I’ve now gotten all of the achievements and I just completed a 2 stamp game!

Yeah, I’ve gotten a 2 wins, the first was almost a full clear! I’m starting to get the hang of it.

I did it on my eigth or ninth try. I lost several times due to stupid mistakes, clicking on a mine when I forgot that there was a 1xx clue next to it, seeing only that xx was small.

I guess I just haven’t gotten the hang of it yet.

Have you paid attention to the patterns visible when the game ends? The purple slimes + wizard are really helpful to locate. I also generally tried to avoid using the walls since it seems like they don’t always give as many points as they take to kill. I also played on an earlier version, it might have been easier.
