Good evening, contestants. Welcome to LEVEL CRAWL, the only show where the contestants are the content and the content dies a lot. Nobody's sure how you got here, and the producers aren't taking questions. But here you are, at the top of 18 floors of traps, monsters and sponsor-approved violence, with a very large audience watching. Please smile. Ratings are everything. WHAT YOU GET • Hand-crafted 16-bit pixel art: every monster, Delver, item and wall, with its own tileset for every zone, from the Sewers to the Studio itself. • Turn-based grid combat. You move, they move. Nobody's rushing you except the floor clock and the audience. • Headliners: a boss at the bottom of every floor. Get close and the show cuts to a turn-based battle screen. Running is not an option. • COMBO! Set fire to an oiled monster, zap a wet one, shatter a frozen one, splat one into a wall. 23 combos to find, and the crowd loses it every time. • 26 species, from Human to Gnoll, Treant, Robot and a root vegetable with a dream. Pick a class on floor 3 and specialize on floor 9. • 200+ monsters that don't play fair: thieves, exploding beetles, gelatinous cubes that eat your loot, ghosts of Delvers who didn't make it. • 30 spells, 35+ talents and 250+ items: rare and epic gear, enchantments, cursed items, gear sets and things that fell in from other worlds. • Odd floors that change the rules: conveyor belts and crushers, a frozen lake, a flooding sewer main, a haunted manor that moves its doors, a space station with cheap airlocks. • Every floor is a different episode: Blackout, Speed Round, the Arena, the Heist, the Game Show and more. • The host is your tutorial. He explains each thing once, when it matters, then replays your death on air with a tip for next time. • Easy mode from your first run. Win once and unlock 10 Ratings, each one stacking a new twist, all the way to Prime Time. • Earn outfits, name titles, entrances and starting pets by dying in style. • Whatever killed your last Delver comes back as your Nemesis. • 300+ achievements, many of them rude. 100 of them on Game Center. • A Daily Dungeon (the same run for everyone, once a day) and the Endless Abyss, a dungeon with no bottom and a world leaderboard. • Play with friends: up to 8 Delvers, one floor clock. • Colour-blind and high-contrast modes. • One life. Death restarts the whole run. The audience considers this a feature. Free. No ads. No purchases. Your run saves on your device. Contains swearing, crude humor and cartoon violence.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Level Crawl at 79% against Pixel Dungeon +'s 0%. Level Crawl also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). Pixel Dungeon +'s advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Pixel Dungeon + holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Level Crawl has 39 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Pixel Dungeon +'s written reviews are positive against 79% of Level Crawl's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pixel Dungeon + ships an update fortnightly, Level Crawl every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
