Dungeon Crawl is a full roguelike in your pocket: procedurally generated floors, fog of war, monsters that genuinely path toward you, and one life per run. The Amulet waits on depth 10. Most runs don't get there.
Nothing listed in the connect popup: the calculator has to be plugged in and switched on to appear. Wake it up, check the USB cable (charge-only cables won't work), or move to a different port. Close any other tab that's using the calculator.

Controls
- Arrows move; walking into a monster attacks it. No separate combat button.
- ENTER goes down when you're standing on the stairs. Anywhere else it waits a turn.
- If you have enough gold, the stairs open the merchant first: 1 buys a potion, 2 buys +1 attack, 3 buys +1 defense, and ENTER goes down. CLEAR there ends the run.
- 2nd drinks a healing potion. It does nothing if you have no potion or are already at full health.
- CLEAR gives up the run and goes back to the title screen. Press it again there to quit.
- On the title screen, the left and right arrows pick EASY, NORMAL or HARD, the up or down arrow opens How to Play, and ENTER starts.
- After a death or an escape, ENTER starts a new run and CLEAR goes back to the title screen.
What's down there
Every floor is generated fresh, rooms and corridors, and the stairs are always reachable. Twelve monster types show up deeper and meaner as you descend; some are slow, some regenerate, some move erratically, and archers and warlocks shoot at you down a clear row or column. A dragon guards the Amulet on depth 10.
You'll find gold, healing potions, and weapon and armor upgrades. Gold buys more at the merchant, and prices go up each time you buy. Killing things levels you up with more HP and harder hits, but a level-up only heals part of your health. A line under the map tells you what just happened: your hits, your kills, and what hit you.
Permadeath, but fair
Death ends the run for good. EASY, NORMAL, and HARD scale monster strength and potion drops, and the calculator remembers your best depth (and whether you've won) for each. Escaping with the Amulet on HARD is the closest thing this site has to a diploma.
