Naming In Progress — Godot build

Pick your two

Four heroes, two slots. The plaque on the left carries the numbers straight from the original's balance table — health, damage, speed — and the roster art is the same pixel chrome the game draws.

Title The dais is lit by the original's key, rim and fill lights — now corrected for the engine's colour space, so the stone reads as stone.

Knight

Melee

Shield up, steady blade. The all-rounder.

Barbarian

Big axe, bigger swing. Slow but it lands like a mountain.

Rogue

Melee

Two knives, no patience. Fastest hands in the dungeon.

Mage

Blast

No sword. A bolt of raw arcane that bursts where you point.

The room

The whole arena, built procedurally from the original's seeded generator — a 12 × 12 grid of floor tiles with a weighted variant mix, perimeter walls with pillars and a doorway, eight mounted torches with flickering lights, banners, spike traps, and a raised dais with a chest.

A wide view of the whole dungeon arena: a tiled stone floor scattered with rubble, spike traps, a raised dais and torchlit walls, with the HUD across the top and bottom. — Overview Every tile, prop and torch position comes out of the same mulberry32 stream the browser original uses, so the layout matches tile for tile.

A mage casting a frost blast into a group of skeletons, with spike pits and a torchlit wall behind. — Elemental The mage's bolt leaves a frost field. Element combinations drive the reaction system — frost into ember, shadow into arcane.

A knight faces a cluster of skeletons, two glowing red as they wind up an attack, on a torchlit stone floor. — Telegraphs Red windups mean a swing is coming. Three attackers wind up at once and the rest orbit rather than crowd.

Between the waves

Clear a wave and you choose one of three upgrades. Cards are rolled from the original's weighted table, and the frame colour tells you the tier before you read a word.

Upgrade screen: three cards labelled Frenzy, Keen Edge and Swift Swap, each with a tier label and a Take It button. — Upgrades Rare, common, common. The blue frame is the rare tier — the outline is the fastest read on the screen.

What's built

The port is functionally complete and running. Ten systems, each in its own module talking over a shared event bus, plus a test suite ported alongside the code.

Status

All 325 tests passing across 15,732 assertions, and the project boots with no warnings. The world layout is verified tile-for-tile against the browser original, and the character loading pipeline keeps every model at the same 1.9-unit scale with its equipment variants stripped at runtime. Lighting was the last real defect: every light in the port was two to five times too bright, because the two engines disagree about what a colour means — that is fixed, and it is why the stone finally looks like stone.
