DeeperWeDelve by MatteoVera
The lair of the Shadowking is a fearsome Dungeon that can not be delved in one trip. Use the gold you accumulate to hire more adventurers to keep your party alive. While a single adventurer may die, the party lives on as long as one member survives.
WASD to move the camera. MouseWheel to zoom Left click to select party members. Left click drag to box select multiple party members. Right Click to Move, attack and Interact. Challenges are taken on by the first party member to engage them. So pay attention to positioning.

Nice work!
Like @paul-merkamp I noticed that you seem to start out with no coins, but that doesn't seem to prevent you from hiring adventurers - there might just be a bug that makes the text field not show the actual coins value initially.
Something that wasn't immediately clear to me is how you can keep a party member alive, but turns out you can "return to the surface" via the first door. It seems like this heals wounded party members as well.
A few nitpicks:
- The camera movement was too slow for my taste (both WASD and mouse wheel).
- Some basic sound effects would have been nice.
- Since you're meant to take many trips before you can finish the game, having to click through the same dialogue over and over can get a bit tiring, but maybe there's a shortcut to skip I haven't found.
Realy neat little game. I like the color choice and that the PCs are little tofu cubes^^. I kind of brute forced my way to the end of the stage. I had three party members of which one reached the final door. I ran past every mob I encountered. Said hi to the Lich and just left without a fight.
