Pixel Depths

A real-time pixel roguelike. Descend six floors, defeat the Demon Lord, and come back stronger every time you die.

About the game

You are a knight in a dungeon that changes every run. Swing your weapon with the mouse like in Terraria, dodge enemies, buy gear from a merchant, and see how deep you can get. If you die, you start over, but the souls you earn stay with you, and you spend them on new weapons.

Features

• Different every run: the dungeon, enemies and items are randomly generated.
• Real-time combat: enemies chase you and attack at their own pace. You aim with the mouse and swing with Enter or a click.
• 6 unlockable weapons: sword, dagger, axe, spear, blood sword and hammer. Each has its own range, speed and effect.
• Items and shops: bombs, haste elixirs, boots, rings and amulets. From floor 2 onward there is almost always a merchant with his own stock.
• Permadeath with progression: you lose the run, but not your souls or unlocked weapons.
• Boss fight: the Demon Lord waits on floor 6.
• Pixel art: 16×16 sprites with shading, flickering torchlight and a minimap.
• Animations: screen shake, damage numbers, particles and slash effects.
• No install: it runs right in your browser, and your progress is saved.

Tips

• Potions are your only normal healing, so save them for ogres and the boss.
• The spear hits enemies at a distance, and the axe hits everything around you.
