Deliberately generous fork — stronger heroes, a more forgiving run.

That One Thing
Every potion, doorway and desperate retreat matters, turning a tiny dungeon run into a story of clever survival or spectacular failure.
Rat King Pixel Dungeon 2 rebuilds Shattered's Rat King Dungeon April Fools mod as a full game. Heroes are dramatically buffed and the run is intentionally easier than vanilla, which makes it a good way in for players who bounce off Shattered's difficulty. Installs and saves separately from vanilla.
Desktop builds are Java, so PlayBound installs a Java runtime for you if one isn't already present.
