Pinks Quest

It is a simple recipe. It is just that all of it is underground, and none of it wants to be picked up.

Pinks Quest turns a dungeon descent into a shopping list. You go down floor by floor, and what you need is scattered across rooms held by flame-wisps and slimes that have no interest in negotiating. Combat is contact-based: walk into them and keep walking until it is settled.

The Shade countdown gives each floor a hard limit, which is what makes a collection run interesting - you cannot sweep every room, so you choose which ones are worth the time. The minimap tracks what you have opened, and pushing toward the screen edges opens the rest.

Enemies show their level above their health bar; yours climbs by banking XP, which raises maximum HP and sharpens ATK and DEF. Dropped food heals you and, conveniently, is also exactly what you came down here for.
