## Description
_Snoops_ is a crime-solving puzzle game, comprised of two main parts. The
first part has the player search for clues while avoiding bombs on a gridded
floor in a _Minesweeper_ fashion. Tiles that are next to a clue, even
diagonally, are highlighted in green, while those next to a bomb have the red
skull mark on them. In order to collect a clue, the detective only needs to
investigate it normally. Other tiles usually hide different kind of prizes
such as energy refills, gems and other items. If a bomb is triggered, the
player can either attempt to cut the wire, defuse the bomb by paying with
energy or finish exploring the room before the time runs out. The player has
to complete several such rooms in order to gather all the clues and advance to
the next part of the case, which is Solv-A-Tron. There, the clues must be
associated with the right suspects. Once all the clues are attributed to their
actual owner, the case is solved, the criminal identified and the next case is
unlocked.
The investigation of every square and even checking if the clues are
associated correctly in Solv-A-Tron spends an amount of energy. Once depleted,
the player can go back to the office and use the energy generator. Gems can be
used to purchase additional tools, which are sometimes needed to investigate
locked squares, for example.
