About

"Grab loot and gobble up all manner of foods to build up your XP. Choose your path wisely and UPGRADE your abilities to help you face the challenges of the lower floors! UNLOCK new weapons and magical items as you progress. Collect magical gauntlets to power your explosive ATOMIC FIST! Seek out the cat merchant to buy extra enhancements. Discover the crypt arcades and try to win extra coins and health. You can collaborate together with up to 3 other friends – or perhaps be greedy and just grab all the loot for yourself... Weapons at the ready - prepare yourself for IRON CRYPTICLE!"

"A mysterious, malevolent force has abducted Cryptonia's princess - along with the king's royal golden treasures (shaped curiously like large foodstuffs...). The King's washed-up knights must suit up and descend into the ancient palace crypts on a rescue mission!"
