How it feels

A fast-paced dungeon romp where you hack through endless procedurally generated caverns, leveling up and choosing your difficulty before each run.

What players say

Players are split on this minimalist dungeon crawler. Some love its simplicity and replayability, while others find the combat repetitive (wait for enemy attack, attack, repeat) and the platforming frustrating. A notable bug lets players fall through the floor, which the speedrunning community sometimes exploits.
