A downloadable game for Windows

In Gim Descent, find your way through a very, very deep dungeon, fighting strange creatures along the way. Armed with only a few bombs, you'll need items in order to survive.

How far can you get?

Gameplay

Using a speed potion to get out of a sticky situation

Controls

Arrow keys/WASD to move.

Z - open inventory / select

X - close menus

Plus / Minus - Zoom in and out (useful for when you're trying to find where to go)

Escape - Return to main menu / exit

The game saves automatically, so no worries on that front.

I like this too 👀

Playing zoomed out is a game changer. The resource management is pretty relaxed, which I like, and then the first boss fight really demands a lot of them! It feels like a good balance. Aside from the pink bug boss, feels like there's a lot of strategic headroom.

Thanks!

I was thinking of replacing the bug boss with an easier boss and putting it later in the game, but I'm glad you like the difficulty curve. I also need to tutorialise the bug-type creatures too: they have a dodge ability, which means if you attack one when it has an action ready, it uses its action to dodge your attack. I appreciate the feedback, super useful!
