Overview
Description

99 Levels to Hell is a fast‑paced platform shooter that blends classic side‑scroll action with roguelike randomness. Each run generates a new set of dungeons filled with traps, monsters, shops, and secret rooms, keeping the experience fresh and challenging. Survive waves of enemies, upgrade your arsenal with guns and magic, and defeat a boss every ten levels to unlock the next dungeon. The game offers single‑player depth for indie fans who love procedural challenges and loot‑driven progression.

Hack is a classic single‑player roguelike where you explore a procedurally generated dungeon, battling monsters and managing scarce resources. Your goal is to recover the Amulet of Yendor and amass as many points as possible before you inevitably perish. The game features a variety of character classes, a rich inventory of weapons, armor, potions, scrolls, rings, and wands, and a host of monsters ranging from bats to dragons. Food, weight limits, and traps add constant pressure, while special rooms like shops, vaults, and crypts provide strategic opportunities.
