Mega Mana
A downloadable game
An 8-Bit Shadowdark Adventure
Presented in bold, black-and-white pixel art style with NES-inspired layout and design. This is a love letter to cartridge-era dungeon crawls, rebuilt for the tabletop.
Deep within a buried temple lies an ancient construct, a towering golem-war engine waiting to awaken. Inspired by the spirit and structure of Mega Man 3, Mega Mana is a fast-paced, boss-room dungeon built for Shadowdark RPG.
Eight chambers. Eight power crystals. One colossal war-machine buried beneath the earth. Decide whether to awaken the machine… or stop it forever.

This is super awesome.
Some tiny errors (I think), Dash has WIS 8 with WIS-Mod 0 and CON 9 with CON-Mod 0 and they should be Mod -1 respectively.
And Otto should have a DEX-Mod -3 instead of +3.
Hey thanks for pointing those out! Updated in 1.2!
This is SUPER cool! I love the design and art, and how you've been able to strip back Shadowdark even further. One thing I do find myself missing though are the room numbers.
Hey thanks for the compliments and feedback Michael - room numbers coming in an update here in the next couple weeks!
What an interesting concept! I loved the style and artwork.
Hey thanks! This style was pretty new for me. I've never done pixel art before. I got to work with an artist out of Mexico City and discover how difficult it is creating something that spans mediums like this. I had to learn about pixel densities and I now have insane respect for pixel icon designers!
