Pixel Crawlers
A Java roguelike rebuilt as a server-authoritative web game, with co-op.
Shattered Pixel Dungeon is one of the finest roguelikes ever made and it needs an app store. Rebuilding it for the browser is not a port: the simulation had to be re-implemented as a server-authoritative Python engine, with a Phaser and TypeScript renderer that only ever draws what the server says is true — which is what makes a shared run possible at all.
So it has something the original does not: real-time co-op for up to four players, joined with an eight-letter room code, each picking their own class. Three modes — classic turn-based with hunger, a real-time solo descent, and co-op. No download, no store, no install. Open source.
