About Dungeon of Dirty Tricks
Dungeon of Dirty Tricks drops a little explorer with a lantern into a castle basement where every stone has been arranged by somebody with a terrible sense of humour. Torches flicker on damp brick walls, lava bubbles in the pits and the glowing exit door always looks close. It never is. Ceiling blocks wait until you are directly underneath before they slam down, bridges dissolve into the lava halfway across, floors rise like elevators straight into rows of spikes and a whole wall of blades slides out of the dark to chase you down the corridor. Many rooms are locked, so you first have to fetch a golden key from a ledge that, of course, crumbles the moment you touch it. Your lantern only lights a circle around you, which makes every new room a nervous little expedition and every trap a jump scare you will laugh about a second later. Respawns are instant and the rooms are short, so learning a trap costs you nothing but pride. Twenty-five rooms ramp up from a gentle key hunt to stomping piston corridors and gravity-flipping lava halls. Clear a room without dying for three stars, or just enjoy the climbing death counter.
How to play
Arrow keys or A/D to move, Space, W or up to jump. On touch screens use the ◀ ▶ pads and the jump button. Your lantern lights only the stones around you. Grab the golden key when a door is locked, keep out of lava and away from anything that looks like it might fall on you. Every death sends you straight back to the start of the room.
