About the Game

"Down the Dungeon" is an unforgiving precision platformer that starts you from the top of the dungeon. Without checkpoints, navigate your way around dangerous traps, and rotting enemies - jumping and crawling through forgotten corridors.

  • Collect 9 pieces of gear that provide powerful passives.

  • Multiple main routes down to the bottom with branching hidden pathways.

  • 3 consumable items. A throwable ember to illuminate the darkness, a dagger to slay creatures and jump on as a makeshift platform, and an apple that replenishes health- green of course.

As you descend down the dungeon's multiple pathways, you will encounter increasingly more unforgiving platforming jumps and deadly traps; constantly testing your dexterity and precision.

Between nerve-wracking jumps, you will encounter the undead -- previous adventurers that have tried to conquer these depths and failed.
Kill them in any ways possible, using throwing knives, or the traps scattered amongst the dungeon.

The ancient halls of the dungeons provide many secrets. Use throwing knives as platforms, embers to light the way, and apples to provide health all while crawling through dank corridors -- finding consumables and powerful gear to help you on your descent.

The dungeon itself isn't hard enough for you? Try "Hell Unleashed" or the elusive "Bubble World" to further test yourself and your understanding of the dungeon.

Will you be able to reach the bottom?
