One Button Dungeon
A downloadable game
One Button Dungeon is a minimalist dungeon crawler built entirely around a single input.
Press A to take one step forward.
That’s it.
Every step triggers a random event:
-
A fight you didn’t prepare for
-
A trap you absolutely should’ve seen coming
-
Treasure (finally!)
-
A moment of rest
-
Or… something very strange
There are no sprites, no animations, and no mercy — just clean black-and-white UI, procedural events, and an endless descent measured by how long you survive.
Features
-
One-button gameplay (perfect for quick sessions)
-
Procedural dungeon events
-
Permanent relic choices at key depth milestones
-
Rare secret events that permanently change your run
-
Multiple ending titles based on how badly you fail
-
Persistent best scores
-
Tiny synthesized sound effects (no audio files)
-
Designed specifically for Playdate
There is no final boss.
There is no victory screen.
Only a number that goes up… until it doesn’t.
How deep can you go before the dungeon decides it’s done with you?

any bugs or anything you notice that is incorrect please let me know
When I add it to the Sideload site, it shows up with no image, titled “Game” by “Unknown.” When I install it on my system and then try to launch it, it immediately crashes, and when I press B for more info, the error is “File not found.”
ok should be fixed
Yup, it works now! Thank you!
