Cyplopean - another Dungeon Crawler

Introducing Cyclopean

If you enjoyed Islands of the Caliph, you may find this short project I made interesting. It was made in 3 days for the Dungeon Crawler Jam 2024 over on the itch website.

3 Day Game Development

Making something in 3 days required borrowing things from some of my previous games, so you may recognize some of the artwork.

Turn-Based Dungeon Crawler

Cyclopean is a turn-based dungeon crawler with roguelike elements. It has a somewhat procedurally generated dungeon, with Lovecraft inspired monsters, and a story that hearkens loosely back to the Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath.

Short and Not So Sweet

The game is very short, and can be played (and won) within 10 - 15 minutes or so. Like traditional roguelikes it will summaries your success or failure at the and. You can view reports of up to 10 of your best playthroughs from the main menu. (not my best score)

Cats

It also has cats! You can watch a short clip in which the player rescues a cat here...

As a game jam entry, it is free of charge. Try it out and let me know what you think.
