Project Overview

The Dungeon Explorer Game is a 2D or 3D adventure game where players explore a dungeon filled with monsters, traps, puzzles, and treasures. The main goal is to navigate through different dungeon levels, fight enemies, solve challenges, and reach the exit while collecting loot. It’s a mix of strategy, puzzle-solving, and combat that makes gameplay both fun and challenging.

This project is flexible: it can be made as a single-player dungeon crawler or expanded into a multiplayer co-op dungeon adventure.
