Grail - Dungeon Faller
Story
In this creepy "Dungeon Faller," you play as the very pale and very stale recently deceased man called Rigor Mortis.
Your fate—Heaven or Hell—remains undecided and the verdict depends on a 100-gold bribe to the gatekeeper.
Is it possible to collect 100 gold without moving a single limb?
By chipping away at the cave bit by bit, using the recoil of bombs to shift sideways, and summoning holy bats to carry you upward, it just might be.
How to play
- Clear blocks with mouse.
- Scroll to enlarge/shrink crosshair
- Hold right mouse button to not clear blocks.
- Get 100 Gold
- Avoid monsters
Esc will restart the game.
Tip: Focus on getting some swords initially!

Yes! Finally!!!
Wow! You are the first one exept me to pull that of! Which also makes me realize that the win screen deserves some more love. Do you want to join the dev discord? I would love to hear your thougths on the Diamond and the faucet I added yesterday.
Sorry about the late reply. Sure! Send me an invite
Has the Goblin bankir been removed from the latest update? He hasn't shown up since.
ha ha, well spotted, I was going to write a dev log about it. I decided to cut him even though I like him. Do you miss him or was it a good call?
I'm still on the fence. Since I haven't won the game yet I don't know if he was messing up the game challenge you wanted. I clearly would like to be able to double my coins, but I can see how that might make the game too easy. I'm interested in reading the dev log.
It is not so much the challenge that is a problem. Managing to give the goblin a large amount and being able to double it is really hard so if you pull it off you deserve a great score. The dev log is posted now. https://papaquark.itch.io/grail-dungeon/devlog/936558/kill-your-darlings
Thank you for taking an interest in my game!
Ah! I didn't realize that he took your gold at first...Like you said it isn't the easiest thing to land on him.
he is back and i made it easier to land. :-)
Gameplay and Critique ;)
Thank you so much for playing and making a video.
Your critique is both valid and useful.
I have added several things in my to do for next version.
*I will add a very discrete sound when destroying blocks.
*I also liked to hear you talking about how the world is perceived the first time you play. Hearing that I think I might add more in game clues and hints and also tiny bits of lore.
If you play it again please post your best score. The game becomes something else when you focus on getting 100.
Best regards!
Michael
