Steal from strangers. Steal from friends. Steal in a school, at work, on a plane or deep beneath the earth's surface. The important thing is to steal *before* you're stolen from. ...Hopefully it's obvious but you aren't stealing real money. Everyone starts with $1000 and then it's up to you to steal the rest. PKPKT does the hard work of finding other players by detecting them using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) in the background. You do not need a data connection. It's completely off the grid. The point of the game is to collect the most money (duh), but once the initial theft occurs, you can chat with your opponent by sending messages over bluetooth. These messages are completely private as they are not stored on any server. "PKPKT is one of the first games to really take advantage of [Bluetooth Low Energy] technology in a natural way." - The Verge "This game turns Bluetooth into a high-stakes stealing match." - GigaOm

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.
