Delve Deep is a procedurally generated dwarven dungeon crawler originally made for the Ludum Dare 48 Compo.

Play as a dwarf forced to flee the surface, as a horde of orcs and goblins chases you down into the depths of the earth. But don't forget to gather some gold and allies on your way down.

Controls
- Arrow keys or WASD to move.
- SPACE to skip your turn.

There are also four different AI protocols to select from for your allies using the on-screen buttons:
- Follow: your allies will attempt to follow you. Those that cannot currently see you will look for you in the last location they saw you at.
- Attack: your allies will attack any enemies on sight.
- Mine: your allies will mine and collect gold from nearby veins that they have located.
- Escape: your allies will try to make their way to the stairs leading further down, provided that they have seen them.

Note: The browser version and the basic download are the latest version of the game, but if you would like to play the original version submitted for Ludum Dare in its bug-ridden glory, you can download the "Jam Version" of the game.
