CRYPTMARCH is a top-down, real-time dungeon crawler for one or two players on one screen, written by hand in HTML5. It is Gauntlet with the light RPG layer a Gauntlet fan asked for: smash the monster generators on every floor, gain levels, and sell your treasure to a merchant in the town between tiers. The first tier, its boss and the first town visit are free to play in your browser on this page.
Play the demo above. Pick a hero, find the way down, and break the generators before they bury you. A second player can drop in at any time with Enter or a second gamepad. What is in it Three tiers, fifteen fixed floors. THE DEEPS (caverns of rats, kobolds and troglodytes), THE WARRENS (goblin burrows and the old maze the orcs hold) and THE CRYPT (the restless dead). Four floors and a boss lair in each. Generators.
Bone heaps, burrows, open sarcophagi and soul jars keep spitting monsters until you break them: 13 kinds across the three tiers, each with three visible damage states. 29 kinds of monster and three bosses: the Great Mimic, the Orc Warchief and the Banshee Queen, each with telegraphed attacks you can see coming. Three heroes.
