Dungeon Crawler - HTML5 Game - Construct 3 - C3P
Dungeon Crawler
Welcome to Dungeon Crawler – A Strategic Turn-Based Roguelite!
Navigate through endless procedurally generated dungeon rooms on a 6×6 grid. Plan your moves carefully, collect weapons, defeat enemies, and survive as long as possible!
In Dungeon Crawler, every move counts. Swipe or use arrow keys to move your hero one tile at a time. When you move into an enemy, you attack them. Pick up weapons to deal damage, collect potions to heal, and purchase powerful passive items to enhance your abilities.
The game features an endless mode where difficulty scales as you progress through rooms. Each room is randomly generated with enemies, weapons, items, and hazards. Clear all enemies to unlock the door and advance to the next room.
How far can you go?
This documentation provides a comprehensive guide to help you understand and modify Dungeon Crawler. We will explain the game’s core systems, weapons, enemies, items, and how to add new content.
Weapons
Weapons are essential for combat. Each weapon has an attack value that determines how much damage it deals. Weapons break after ONE use, so choose your targets wisely!
Weapon Tiers
<thead> </thead> <tbody> </tbody>| Frame | Weapon | Damage Range | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Dagger | 1-2 | Melee |
| 1 | Sword | 2-3 | Melee |
| 2 | Bow | 3-5 | Ranged |
| 3 | Mace | 4-6 | Melee |
| 4 | Shield | 5-8 | Melee |
| 5 | Crossbow | 7-10 | Ranged |
| 6 | Legendary | 9-12 | Melee |
Combat Mechanics
- With Weapon: Enemy always dies. If weapon damage < enemy value, player takes the difference as damage.
- Without Weapon (Clash): Enemy dies, but player takes full enemy value as damage.
- Ranged Weapons: Bow and Crossbow automatically fire at the closest enemy after each player movement, dealing 1 damage per shot until depleted.
Enemies
Enemies are placed randomly in each room. Each enemy has a value displayed on them – this is both their HP and the damage they deal.
Enemy Types
<thead> </thead> <tbody> </tbody>| Frame | Enemy Type | Special Ability |
|---|---|---|
| 0-2, 4-7 | Normal Enemies | Standard melee enemies with varying appearances |
| 3 | Archer | Ranged enemy – deals 1 damage to player every turn |
| 8 | Mirror | Reflects your weapon damage back at you! Value: 0 |
| 9 | Dice | Random value between 1-12 when attacked |
