Description

This is a meticulously faithful port/rewrite of the original Pixel Dungeon, my favorite mobile game of all time. Mechanically, this is 99.9% the same game* as the original, crammed into PebbleOS! It has every item, level, monster, quest, sound, and music as the original, just mini and adorable. 

I did do one major enhancement for usability on a watch - you can play the entire game with the touchscreen - just like the original - or you can use THE BUTTONS! And it's so much cooler than you're thinking.

First, I built an AI that can play Pixel Dungeon. Then I programmed the AI into the watch. The AI sees what you see and knows what you know, but nothing more, and thinks of the best thing to do next, and then 7 more options. You get a target and you can cycle with the down button to go toward something else if you don't agree with the AI. The AI promotes whatever is in that direction to the new main objective, and then you press the middle button over and over to explore, fight, collect items, wait, step back through a door, until you decide you want to plant a seed or read a scroll. You're always in control, but the boring, and frankly difficult task of clicking around on the watch is done for you, and you get to be the strategist. You can have the assist just do movement on medium mode, or use items on high, or turn it off if you're a purist. 

I put this all together with Claude in a week, so there are still a few bugs, but I've played a few games and the AI has played tens of thousands and we've squashed most of the bugs. Please report anything you find that's wrong!

*Differences are either extremely minor because of limited memory on the watch, like the fact that when you leave a game and come back in with toxic gas on screen, it regenerates in only approximately the same tiles because fitting the gas in memory was too big. And I stole the Goo's pump attack visual range indicator from Shattered because it's too important to not have. That's basically it.
