Spindelve

Spindelve is a dungeon crawl played on a slot machine, made for Playdate. Turn the crank to spin three reels, stop cranking to lock them, and let the symbols decide: swords, keys, potions, coins, skulls and sevens settle every fight, door, trap and treasure.

Five floors lie under the town of Lastlight. A boss guards each one, and the Warlock waits at the bottom. What you find on a delve is lost when it ends, but the embers you bring home stay and rebuild the town, shop by shop.

• A crank-driven slot machine with a lever, bets and a jackpot
• 5 floors, 5 bosses, 24 monsters and 36 pieces of loot
• A town to rebuild, quests to take on, and a library that fills with what you meet
• 1-bit art made for the Playdate screen

Controls: crank to spin, stop cranking to lock the reels. A to confirm, B to go back. In the dungeon, left shows what the hero wears and right shows the game info.
