PixelQuest · Pixel Dungeon Roguelike

Descend into the ultimate pixel-art dungeon crawler — right inside your browser's side panel! PixelQuest is a roguelike dungeon adventure that lives in your Chrome side panel. No downloads, no tab switching — just click the icon and start exploring procedurally generated dungeons filled with monsters, loot, and secrets. ═══════════════════════════════════════ CORE FEATURES ═══════════════════════════════════════ REAL-TIME COMBAT Fight enemies in real-time with smooth movement and attack mechanics. No turn-based waiting — enemies chase you, dodge your attacks, and fight back. Stay on your toes! 12 WEAPON TYPES Master daggers, swords, spears, axes, bows, staves, hammers, scythes, crossbows, wands, katanas, maces, and chakrams. Each weapon has unique range, speed, and attack patterns — from rapid dagger strikes to devastating axe cleaves. 5 PLAYABLE CHARACTERS Choose your playstyle: • Knight — Tanky warrior with Iron Wall shield skill • Ranger — Agile archer with dash mobility • Mage — Glass cannon with meteor bombardment • Assassin — Critical strike specialist with blink strike • Engineer — Turret deployer with area control Each character has unique stats, starting weapons, and powerful signature skills with cooldowns. 17 ENEMY TYPES Battle slimes, bats, skeletons, goblins, ghosts, orcs, zombies, spiders, imps, wolves, golems, witches, mummies, serpents, demons, and fearsome bosses — each with distinct AI behaviors and attack patterns. MULTI-PHASE BOSS BATTLES Every 3rd floor features a boss with escalating phases. Bosses enrage, summon minions, and unleash AoE attacks as their health drops. Every 9th floor: face the Dragon in a 3-phase epic encounter. ELEMENTAL COMBAT Weapons and enemies wield fire (burning damage over time), frost (slowing effect), and shock (bonus damage). Exploit elemental weaknesses to gain the upper hand. ELITE ENEMIES Random elite variants of regular enemies spawn with dangerous modifiers: Swift (2x speed), Tough (2x HP), Berserk (+60% ATK), Vampiric (heals on hit), and Explosive (detonates on death). ═══════════════════════════════════════ DUNGEON EXPLORATION ═══════════════════════════════════════ PROCEDURAL DUNGEONS Every run is different.
