A pocket-sized dungeon crawler for WOWCube. Twist to explore, fight what's waiting in the dark, grab the loot… and then make the terrible decision to go just one floor deeper.
gameBuilt for WOWCube
ExploreEvery floor is new. Fog hides the rest.
FightTurn-based. The monster swings first.
LootGear, gold, scrap and potions.
Level upOne Adventurer. Your build, your choices.
DescendBank it, or carry it deeper.No tutorial pop-ups, no button prompts. Hold the cube, look down, and the dungeon teaches you the rest.
Your Adventurer stays pinned to the face you're looking at. The dungeon slides beneath them. Twist the cube and you take one step north, south, east or west, and one more cell comes out of the fog.
The map is far bigger than the screen. Corridors, rooms, dead ends, hidden passages. What you have already seen stays where it is; what you haven't is dark.
Every floor starts black. The cells around you light up as you walk, and what you've seen stays lit. Monsters stand in the open once you've seen them, and some of them wander: get within a few steps of a roamer and it comes for you, a cell for every step you take.
Traps are the exception. They're invisible until you're standing on one, and a sprung trap stays marked so you never take it twice. A map from a chest, or the witch's Reading, pulls the fog back early.
Stand on something interesting and the cube asks a question: PRAY? TRADE? TALK? OPEN? Two taps says yes. Fountains refill you, shrines bless you, vendors trade, the witch bargains and NPCs hand out quests.
Every one of them is a choice, never an obligation. Walk past the shrine. Ignore the witch. Leave the chest locked. The stairs don't care.
Bump into a monster and it's turn-based from there, and the monster always swings first. Twist through your carousel of actions: a plain attack, every ability you've learned, a potion from the pack, or your legs. Tap to commit.
Damage types leave marks. Fire burns, frost freezes, slashing bleeds, bludgeoning stuns, necrotic curses. Bring the cure, or bring the immunity.
Six slots and no filler: Armor, two Hands, two Rings and an Amulet. Weapons and armor wear down with use; rings and amulets don't. Compare, equip, sell, or dismantle for scrap.
The pack holds the rest: potions, antidotes, bandages, keys and whatever a quest-giver asked you to fetch. Stack it deep. The dungeon fights dirty.
Every floor ends at the stairs down. Go deeper and everything you're carrying rides with you, and dies with you. Return to Sanctuary and it's banked: safe, forever, yours.
That's the whole game in one decision, made at the top of every staircase, with a little less health than you'd like.
No buttons, no touchscreen, no stick. Two gestures and a way of holding it.
Rotate one half of the cube. In the dungeon that's a step. In a menu it scrolls the list. In a fight it cycles your actions.
one twist · one stepTwo firm taps on the cube. Says yes to whatever you're standing on, confirms a menu row, commits your combat action.
tap tap · yesJOFD is played on whichever face is up. Hold the cube flat, look down, and the dungeon is always the right way round.
top face · always uprightEvery floor is built fresh. Some of what you find wants to help you. Some of it wants to help itself.
A quest can open a portal to a Tomb: a handful of rooms tucked off the main floor, with their own keys, their own locks and an Elite waiting at the end.
The floor you left is parked exactly as you left it. Inside, expect a fight two to five floors nastier than the one outside. Beat it and the rewards match. Or walk past the portal. Nobody is making you.
From the swarm bee on floor one to what only crawls out past floor a hundred. Every family gets meaner as you go, and every monster hits with a type that can leave a mark.
The camp at the top of the stairs. Rest, bank, repair, and decide whether you're really going back down.
There is one Adventurer, and they become whatever the dungeon makes of them.
Level up for health, mana and stats. Learn abilities and keep every one of them: no loadouts, no swapping at camp, the whole carousel is always yours. Your build is the answer to what the floors actually gave you, not a script you picked on day one.
Shrine blessings, one at a time, for the floor:
WOWCube is a twisting 2×2×2 cube with a screen on every one of its twenty-four faces.
JOFD draws the dungeon on the four screens facing up, keeps your Adventurer pinned in the middle of them, and turns every twist of the cube into a step. Combat, inventory, the vendor, the smith: all of it lives on those four little squares, and all of it is driven by twisting and tapping the thing in your hands.
That's the rule. Monsters always get the opening action; there's no initiative roll and no speed stat to game. Walk into a fight with the health to take one hit, or don't walk into it.
You don't, until you're standing on one. Traps are invisible, they never kill on their own, and a sprung one stays marked. Monsters are the danger you can see: once a cell is lit, whatever stands on it is in plain view, and the ones that wander will come for you when you get close.
No. Unless a quest asks for it, the stairs are the only thing you need. Everything else is optional danger with optional rewards.
Whatever you were carrying stays in the dungeon. What you were wearing, your level and your banked stash come home with you, and you wake at the Sanctuary ready to try again.
One at a time. Praying at another shrine swaps it, and the shrine you left refills, so a floor with two shrines can be worked back and forth. Blessings end when you descend.
Shrines are safe. A witch sells help for carried gold, and her brew is a gamble that can heal you, pay you, or poison, curse and blind you.
An optional mini-dungeon reached through a portal, meaner than the floor around it, with a guaranteed Elite at the end and better loot to match. The floor you left waits for you exactly as it was.
They're pinned to the centre of the view and the map scrolls under them. On a cube face the size of a postage stamp, that keeps the dungeon readable no matter how you're holding it.
