This was such a fun game. The premise is so simple but works so well. Staying ahead of the baddies is like an exciting puzzle. It was even better playing single screen multiplayer with a buddy.

Does anyone know of anything that scratches a similar itch?

Side Note: in searching around I found this modernized version of Lode Runner Online: The Mad Monks' Revenge. Should be a blast on the steam deck.

That stinks. It's such good gameplay. I feel like it's ripe for someone to take the gameplay loop and put their own spin on ie. What Dungeons did with dungeon keeper.

@Debs Agreed 100%. I think the primary problem here is that most of those who could possibly forgot about its existence.

Imagine a much more complex modern game with its basic mechanic too. I could see this actually being really interesting in a 3D world. Sort of like Deception, but less dark, lol. First person might make it even more interesting still.
