Fidel Dungeon Rescue

Fidel Dungeon Rescue stars a small dog clearing tile-based dungeons one room at a time. Each floor is laid out before you enter, and the trick is figuring out the order to walk through everything so you finish with full health, all the loot, and the exit unlocked.

Mistakes don't cost runs the way most roguelites punish them. A rewind button steps back move by move, letting you try a different sequence until the floor solves cleanly. It turns combat into a puzzle of move ordering rather than reflexes or RNG abuse.

Runs stay short and dense, with no grinding and no padding between floors. Hidden secrets, alternate items and tougher dungeon variants keep showing up across runs, and the game won the IGF Excellence in Design award. Don't forget to bark.
