An autobattling dungeon-crawler! Hatch them from eggs. Equip them with gear. Lead them into battle! It’s up to you to guide these grubkins from helpless runts into skilled adventurers as you plunge into the depths together.



They are strange little creatures that hatch from eggs. They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and some are even rare! They might not be the strongest or the smartest but with your help they could still become legendary.

Lots of things! You can pick them up and move them around. You can give them items and equipment to use. You can feed them snacks to heal their injuries. You can train them to be a variety of classes like fighter or cleric. You can get them to explore dangerous places to see if they find treasures or snacks.

When you finish preparing, your grubkins will battle the enemies of this cursed dungeon. Each fight is physically driven and the forces of combat can drastically change the outcome. Swords clash, spells unleashed, potions consumed… If at least one grubkin is left standing, you have a chance of reaching the bottom.

  •  currently 100 grubkins to discover and add to your party
  • over 30 items to use / equip
  •  grubkins can gain classes and talent trees
  • first 2 floors with optional routes available

The lvl 2  upgrades don't seem to give any extra stats

Do you mean the grubkin's level? It should add 1 to max HP and damage for each level up. We'll double check that it's working correctly.

I mean the lvl 2 upgrades on the talent tree (the ones that use 2 talent points)

Gotcha, thanks for the feedback! We'll keep it in mind as we continue to develop the classes and talent trees

Thanks again for the report, we have found the issue and it should be fixed in the next update!

No problem, happy to help : D

nice game

:( tried to like the game, played a while, way way way to long a pause between battles

Thank you for playing and for your feedback! Do you specifically mean the delay after clicking on a door to go to the next room or something else?
Edit: We've reduced the delay a little bit in the latest update.

using firefox and the play in browser the lag between zoning out of the shop, battles are lagging, maybe it might just be me?  the lag is noticeable, have to move the grubskins to center of screen when the chance you might drop something, because items can spawn where you can not pick them up. or they vanish,  When in special zones, item rewards can spawn on the spot like where the hand will take a weapon, the reward item spawns were you can not pick it up. Really love and I mean love the game, don't want to pick on your hard work,I am not a overly picky person, don't even like to point out minor errors, I tried playing in Edge and it was worse, checked my internet speed all seems normal. The game is wonderful, very entertaining and the sheer amount of things in the game is amazing. Thank you  for your hard work!

Glad to hear it!
