Forgot to check the dimensions, so please play in extra tab :-) The server resets every two hours to ensure the best stability.

Genre: Waiting Game / Cookie Clicker / Adventure
--- Instructions ---
Your task is to gain as much prestige points as possible and compete with others around the globe.
Enter the Dungeon with Hero by clicking on the Dungeon Entrace. Hero will now try to get treasure chests, gold and more from the dungeon. You can watch his journey in the top right corner. Every once in a while, Hero finds a chest which will get teleported to your stockpile.
Open a chest by clicking on it. Every item serves three purposes:
- Sell the item for gold by dragging it on the store
- Put the item in your trophy display to gain a higher prestige multiplicator (the more epic the item is, the higher is the multiplicator)
- or equip Hero with the item to help him delve into the deep dark dungeon.
More help is included in the game.
--- The Story ---
Everyone wants to be the hero. Unfortunately, you are a coward. You are not going to get beaten up in dark and dangerous dungeons. But you want to impress everyone with the treasures lying deep inside the deepest dungeon of epic deepness.
Luckily, the might you are missing in your arms you got in your head. You brought your good old pal 'Hero Mc Herosen' of the 'Heroic Hero Order of Heroes' with you, so he will get beaten up and you will get all treasure. Isn't that cool?

-On Level 3 I got an Orange piece of equipment! Super Shiny Leggings with +675 stamina, +450 health, a value of 2500 and 12.0x prestige. The dungeon wasn't a problem after that. That was the only orange I saw before the scores reset, so I must have been really really lucky.
-I wish you would give a pop-up notification when the server's scores are reset. Maybe a note of your final score and place in the leaderboards? Give the whole thing a minute to turn around? It switched almost instantly and surprised me.
-I wish that I there was a sell-all button or something. I was getting stuff faster than I could sell it. Dragging items to the shop to sell individually took too long.
-I didn't seem to be able to drag items directly from my hero to the shop. I had to put them in my trophy case before I could sell them.
-Finally, you have some floating point errors happening: Items would be, say, +0.300000000000002 Prestige. I don't know how you would fix it, and it wasn't a huge problem, but it looked weird in the interface!
I enjoyed this and would love to see an improved version of it! Please consider continuing development!
- drag from hero on store was also a bug I saw a bit too late
- I tried to include a "right click to sell item"-button, but for some strange reason it did not work all the time, so I removed it from the final build. One less feature is also one less bug :)
- The server reset is quite instant, yes. Had the problem that something was not stable enough and after a few hours, a bug prevent dungeon progression. Within the two hours timeframe, you get way less bugs.
- The orange equipment is a 1 in 1000 chance to occur. Really rare :)
Perhaps I will work on this game a bit more. It really needs more feedback for the player.
