Cruel Dungeon

What it does

Roguelikes can't be ranked fairly — a leaderboard just measures who drew the lucky seed. Cruel Dungeon fixes that by giving every player the same dungeon each day, Wordle-style. Your first run is ranked, then you practice unlimited. It turns a luck contest into a pure decision contest. 12 brutal floors, permadeath, choice-based, and a sadistic AI dungeon master narrating your descent. ~3% escape. The engine is fully deterministic so the board is genuinely fair and cheat-resistant.

A daily roguelike that wants you dead. One ranked run a day.

The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
