Crawl is a brawlerindie game by Australian developer Powerhoof. Up to four players and bots in local multiplayer advance through randomly generated dungeons with one player as the hero and the others as spirits who possess traps and monsters in the environment to kill and thus replace the hero. The game received a Steam Early Access release for Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Linux platforms in August 2014, and a full release for those three as well as PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in April 2017 and a release for Nintendo Switch on December 19, 2017.
Gameplay[edit]
Crawl is a cross-genre game with roguelike, bullet hell, and brawler elements[1] for up to four offline players and bots.[2] The main player advances through randomly generated dungeons as a human hero while up to three other spirit players control the dungeon's enemies and traps to kill the main player.[3] The spirit player who kills the human hero swaps roles to become the next main player. Players earn experience as they progress through the dungeon in both the human hero and the non-human spirit roles. Hero experience unlocks new attacks and spells, and spirit experience unlocks stronger enemies to possess.[4] Each player's human hero experience level, weapon, and stats progress is preserved between turns.[3]Crawl was designed to be more fast-paced and arcade-like than strategic, and includes genre-standard activities like collecting loot and upgradable weapons and magic items.[1] Once player spirits possess 'monster spawners' and traps in the active room, they cannot leave the form until they die or kill the main character. The players and enemies grow progressively more powerful over the course of a match.[3] The game ends when a human hero reaches experience level 10, enters a portal, and defeats a final boss whose limbs are controlled cooperatively by the other players.[4][5] Typical matches last about 30 minutes.[3]
Development[edit]
Crawl was developed by Powerhoof, a two-person indie studio based in Melbourne.[3] They described the game as their version of four-player Gauntlet combined with the Japanese bullet hell genre, or a combination of Super Bomberman and The Legend of Zelda.[6] The game was made on the Unity game engine,[1] and the developers designed a pixelated version of Gabe Newell as an in-game boss.[1]
The game was 'greenlit' on Steam within twenty-four hours.[3] There is no online multiplayer. The game was expected for release on Steam Early Access in July 2014, but was delayed due to an issue pertaining to Powerhoof's taxes and formation as a company.[7] The game was released on Steam Early Access on August 6, 2014 for Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Linux platforms.[2] The full version released for computers, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on April 11, 2017.[8] A Wii U console version was planned in 2014.[3]
Reception[edit]
Critics placed Crawl in a trend of local multiplayer functionality amongst indie games.[1][5] Pete Davison of USgamer wrote that the game bridged multiple genres and was an example of the resurgence of couch co-op's fashionability.[1]Rock, Paper, Shotgun's Nathan Grayson compared the game's premise with Dungeonland.[6]Hardcore Gamer's Marcus Estrada called the game's concept 'ingenious' and praised its capacity as a party game.[5] In reviewing a prerelease version, Estrada wrote that the game had issues with gameplay pacing, lackluster artificial intelligence, and opportunities for players to hold up the game.[5]
The game sold over 10,000 copies in its first 12 days on sale on early access.[9]

This is a game I made up mainly because the buck wasn’t the biggest drinker or someone who would do many dares. This is a game for the whole group to play.
Firstly develop some challenge cards. The challenge cards have a challenge and a penalty on them eg Wear your jocks on the outside of your pants for 1 hour – Penalty: If not completed skull a drink. Depending on the number of guests/players depends on the number of cards. I had about 20 people coming to the bucks so I developed a total of 40 cards. Not all the cards were challenge cards. Just to make it interesting I developed ‘Rejection’, ‘Backfire’, and ‘Double Dare’ cards as well. Also just to make sure we could control the drinking a bit I wrote up 2 ‘Water’ cards.
Once the cards are developed, they need to be distributed. I done this by getting people to answer quiz questions and whoever got it right got a card. You can distribute them however you see fit. Once the cards are distributed it’s game on.
To play a card you must ‘Issue’ it to another player, once it is issued the receiving player must complete the challenge or the penalty on the card will be enforced. Once the challenge is complete the receiver of the challenge keeps the challenge card.
As some challenges are time based I made it a rule that no player can be completing more than two challenges at a time. Cards cannot be played within 15 minutes of the task being completed and cannot be issued back to the a player who has just issued it to you.
The cards I used (Water, Backfire, Rejection and Double Dare were duplicated)
Water- Must drink 1 pot of water
Backfire – The task on the card just played is to be completed by whomever played the card
Double Dare- The task on the card just played is to be completed by both the person who played the card and whomever the card was issued to
Rejected – The task on the card just played has been rejected and does not have to be completed
Superman – Wear your jocks on the outside of your pants for 1 hour Penalty: If not completed skull 2 drinks in succession
Grenade – The aim of this card is to secretly place it on someone else’s person Whomever holds this card on the hour must skull the rest of their drink
‘Buck’s Phrase’ – You are only allowed to say the phrase ‘Insert Bucks favorite saying or something stupid’ for the next 5 minutes Penalty: Each time you break the rule skull your drink
Pockets – You must walk around holding the Buck’s pocket for 15 minutes Penalty: Buck decides penalty if you let go of his pocket
Karaoke – Put a Britney Spears song on the jukebox and ding it out loud so everyone can hear you Penalty: Skull
Mixer – Get people to top up your drink with theirs until you fill your glass
Foreigner – Talk in an foreign accent for the next 10 minutes Penalty: Every time you don’t use an accent 5 minutes is added to your time
Chief – Have to call everyone Chief for the next 30 minutes Penalty: Shot of spirits
Lefty – Have to hold your drink with your left had for the next hour Penalty: Drink
Moustache – Get a moustache drawn on you Penalty: Drink a cruiser – girl

Hi Five – Get a high five from everyone in the bar Penalty: Drink your next drink through a straw Shadow Master – Follow someone around for 10 minutes and mimic what they do Penalty: Skull Break Dance – Try to break dance for a minute Penalty: Lick an inanimate object

Smooth Talker – Try to get a chick of my choices phone number Penalty: Buy a drink of her choice if you don’t get it

Choose your own – Choose a dare to do yourself but it has to be accepted by the issuer of this card Penalty: Issuer to decide
I Dare You – Issuer of the card to make up their own dare Penalty: Receiver to decide but approved by issuer Triple Treat – Complete the next three cards to be played from the group in conjunction with the other receivers Penalty: As per cards played
Musical – You must sing everything you say for the next 15 minutes Penalty: You must serenade the buck (or best man)
I’ll take that – Drink someone’s drink of the issuers choosing without asking Penalty: Try again
Slave – You are now a slave for the next 10 minutes and must do what you are told. Penalty: You’re a slave how much worse could I make it?
Crawl Game

Dungeon Crawl Game
Wedgie – Give someone of the issuers choosing a wedgie Penalty: Receive a wedgie
Tequila! – Tequila suicide shot. Snort salt, drink shot and squeeze lemon in your eye Penalty: Double Jager Bomb
Of course there are plenty of other challenges and penalties that you can enforce. Just remember who will be at the party and try to keep it to challenges and penalties that will be completed becasue if they are too risky the game won’t work.
If playing on a bucks party the following cards may be incorporated;
Buck Rejection – The task on the card just played has been rejected by the recieving player but has to be completed by the buck
Buck Up – The issuer must choose a dare that must be completed by the receiving player and the buck at the same time
