🏰Vault Runner
Clear the floor. Take the stairs. Don't die holding the loot.
How to play
Controls: WASD or the arrow keys to move. Aim with your mouse -- the barrel follows your cursor -- and click or press Space to fire. Nothing auto-targets. On a phone the left half of the screen walks, the right half aims, and the round button fires. Keyboard only: the barrel points wherever you are walking.
Anywhere: P pause, R restart, Space starts a new run from the game-over screen.
A proper dungeon run, not a quick round: clear every enemy on a floor, grab the gold and health packs, then take the stairs down -- the Gold counter in the HUD tracks everything you have picked up and looted from kills. You aim it yourself: the barrel follows your mouse (or your right thumb on a phone), and nothing snaps to a target, so a crowded floor is a crowd you actually have to out-shoot rather than out-walk. Every floor is harder than the last, and they escalate sooner than they look: ranged Archers from floor 2 -- and they lead their shots, so strafing in a straight line will not save you -- fast fragile Swarmers from floor 3, and slow heavy-hitting Brutes from floor 4, with the dangerous kinds weighted more heavily past floor 8. Every 5th floor a Boss guards the stairs: it chases, fires spread volleys that widen to five ways from floor 10, and winds up a fast charge (a pulsing red ring is your warning to get clear), escorted by a squad that grows with the depth. There are no extra lives and health packs only drop on about a third of floors, so damage you take early follows you all the way down.
