Pixel Dungeon is a 2012 roguelike indie game created by Oleg Dolya. Through turn-based gameplay, the player must descend a dungeon and battle through its floors to obtain the Amulet of Yendor. Initially developed for Android, it expanded to iOS and PC platforms. Dolya considers the game complete and stopped updating the game in 2015. However, it is open source, and many mods and games based on Pixel Dungeon's code have since been developed, the most notable of which is Shattered Pixel Dungeon. While it received little attention from game critics, the few who reviewed it found the gameplay addictive, striking a balance between approachability and the defining difficulty of roguelikes.
