About
Dunjungle is an action-packed roguelite about an ape, adventuring into a jungle under the menace of a corruptive power that is transforming its peaceful creatures and destroying everything on its way.
You’ll explore continuously changing dungeons, temples, crypts, and other mysterious places, where you’ll find all sort of weird enemies and an arsenal of weapons, spells, and relics, granting you a different experience every time you play.
Not all creatures are hostile! Along your way, you may find characters who are lost, trapped, or maybe just chilling in there. Help them out, and you might become friends!
(Spoiler: A lot of them are monkeys.)
Fast Game Loop
There are no checkpoints in Dunjungle. You die, you start over. Die again, try again. No hassle!
And don’t worry too much! Several things will remain for your next run. Maybe you unlocked a new weapon? Maybe a new spell? Maybe you saved a trapped character, who will now lend you a hand.
More importantly, each time you die, you’ll know more about Dunjungle‘s world, so don’t despair, and use what you’ve learned to get further on your next adventure!
