Dungeon Master is a dungeon-building simulation where you take on the role of a dungeon master. Your goal? To build a formidable lair, manage your monstrous workforce, and defend your treasures against waves of pesky human "heroes" who think your gold belongs to them.

🏗️ Build Your Domain

As the architect of the underworld, you don't do the heavy lifting yourself.

• Hire Slime Builders: These gooey workers are the backbone of your operation. Place them down, and they will scurry to build the walls and floors you designate.
• Design Rooms: Use the room designation tool to set up an Entrance Area, a Dungeon Heart (keep this safe!), and Treasuries to store your growing wealth.
• Furniture & Lighting: Place torches to light the way and chests to entice (and trap) intruders.

⚔️ Defend Against Invaders

The surface world has heard of your riches. Every day, waves of human invaders will attempt to breach your dungeon.

• Spawn Skeleton Guards: Station these bone-rattling sentries to intercept heroes.
• Loot the Fallen: When a hero falls, they leave behind gold. Collect it to fund further expansions.
• Strategic Layouts: Use doors to slow down invaders and create chokepoints where your skeletons can gain the upper hand.

💰 Manage Your Economy

Everything in the dungeon has a price.

• Building Costs: Walls and floors cost gold to construct.
• Hiring Costs: Monsters aren't free! Manage your budget carefully to ensure you always have enough guards to meet the next wave.
• Grants & Prestige: Complete dungeon requirements to earn prestige and unlock new building opportunities.

🎮 How to Play

1. Start Small: Begin by laying down basic floors and walls. Hire a few Slime Builders to get the job done.
2. Designate an Entrance: Every dungeon needs a front door. Designate a 5x5 area as your Entrance.
3. Protect the Heart: Place your Dungeon Heart in a secure location deep within your lair.
4. Hire Guards: As the days progress, start spawning Skeleton Guards. You'll need them once the clock hits Day 2.
5. Expand: Use the gold looted from fallen heroes to build bigger rooms, better treasuries, and a more complex maze.

🕰️ Features

• Dynamic Time System: Watch the clock as you prepare for the next daily raid.
• Persistent Progress: Your dungeon state is saved automatically. Return to your lair anytime from the Title Screen.
• Monstrous AI: Watch your slimes and skeletons navigate your custom-built layouts with dedicated pathfinding.
• Retro Aesthetics: Enjoy high-quality pixel art and the "Abaddon" typography for a classic 16-bit feel.

Can you build a dungeon that no hero can conquer? Or will your halls become just another "cleared" level for a surface dweller?
