MiniCrawl is a portrait dungeon crawler built for quick decisions and daring runs. Pick a hero, read each enemy's attack, dodge, strike, and build something powerful from the relics you find. A NEW DUNGEON EVERY DAY Take on the Daily Dungeon: the same twelve-chamber route, rewards, and encounters for every player. Your first attempt counts; practice runs let you learn the crypt. Share your room-by-room story as text or a vertical image card, and compare your depth and time on Game Center. QUICK CRAWL OR EXPEDITION The default Quick Crawl is a twelve-chamber challenge. When you want the long descent, choose Expedition and work through six worlds with branching routes, events, merchants, elites, and bosses. FORGE RELIC EVOLUTIONS Combine two matching relics to discover one of eight legendary evolutions. Fill the codex, try new pairs, and turn a careful build into a screen-clearing chain. KEEP THE MOMENT Save a short clip from the end of a run and share it with the people you'd challenge next. Recorded sound, haptics, and a torchlit crypt give every hit weight. Four heroes offer different ways to survive. The optional Premium Pass is a single purchase that removes ads and provides unlimited torchlight. No subscription.

Tiny Dungeon is a fast, pixel-art dungeon crawler built for one thumb. Gear up in a cozy village, dive into the dark, smash through monster-filled rooms and topple bosses that each fight their own way. DIVE DEEPER • Procedurally generated floors: every descent is different • Four biomes underground: the Crypt, the Sewers, the Ice Vault and the Inferno • Rooms seal shut when you enter. Clear them, loot the chests, then take the stairs down • Two more lands to unlock: the blood-red Crimson Forest and the snowbound Frostlands TOPPLE 10 BOSSES From the Bone Lich's soul spirals to the Horned Tyrant's meteor rain, every boss has its own moves and grows fiercer when it is close to falling. Read the warning circles, dash through the danger and strike back. FIGHT WITH STYLE • Simple controls: move, attack, dash • Unlock four spells: Soul Nova, Frost Bind, Spirit Ward and Soul Surge • Swords, axes and magic staffs, each with its own feel • Pick a new power every time you level up FORGE YOUR HERO • Buy armor and weapons at the village armory and see every armor on your hero • Train health, damage, speed and more at home • Earn gold and soul, complete the daily contract and push to deeper floors HANDCRAFTED PIXEL WORLD Hand-drawn pixel art, dynamic torchlight and an original chiptune soundtrack bring the dungeon to life. Tiny Dungeon is free to play with ads. Optional in-app purchases include Remove Ads, a Starter Pack and currency packs.
