Crowd Crawl

Audience-driven roguelike dungeon crawler built on Asobi.

A hero explores procedurally generated dungeons while the crowd votes on what happens next — boon picks, path choices, boss modifiers, and mercy votes using tarot-themed cards.

Features

• 7 room types with procedural generation (seeded)
• Turn-based combat with target selection, dodge, heal, and item use
• 25 boons across 3 rarities (common/rare/legendary) with equipment slots
• 5 boss types with unique abilities (Dragon, Lich, Golem, Shadow, Hydra)
• Room exploration — chests, hidden traps, healing fountains
• Floor progression with difficulty scaling (+20% per floor)
• Permadeath with scoring and run statistics
• Voting system — tarot card votes for boons, paths, boss modifiers, mercy

Architecture

Crowd Crawl is a game built on Asobi — it depends on asobi as a library and uses its match server, WebSocket handler, voting system, auth, and economy.
