Dungeon Descent

Goal

Descend through 5 procedurally generated floors. Reach the stairs '>' on each floor and descend; clearing floor 5 wins. Your score is the gold you collect.

Scoring

Score = total gold collected (Gold Coin +10, Gold Pile +25, Treasure Chest +50). Killing monsters grants XP (level up: +10 max HP, +2 ATK, +1 DEF).

Rules

One action per turn. Moving into a monster attacks it (bump combat); moving into a wall is illegal. After your move, monsters within view chase and may hit you. Potions heal +25 HP. Reach 0 HP and the run ends with the gold banked so far.
