About the game

What you do in a play session

TinHack is a tin-sized solo dungeon crawler, perfect for those who love dungeon adventures without needing a group. You create your character by combining Race and Class, each with unique abilities, and dive into exploring four floors of danger: caves, dungeon, temple, and abyss. The goal? Find the Philosopher's Stone at the bottom and make it back alive — which is no easy feat, as every room hides enemies, traps, or treasures. The gameplay is simple but strategic: you reveal rooms, manage resources (like health and items), and choose when to fight or flee. Each floor lets you swap one room from the deck, adding a bit of control to the chaos. The game has high replayability thanks to different character combinations and room randomness. And the best part? It fits in your pocket!
