The Crazy Hyper-Dungeon Chronicles – The Hyper-Dungeon Gauntlet

The challenge is simple, but that doesn't mean it's easy! Complete a full, verifiable, and clean speedrun of The Crazy Hyper‑Dungeon Chronicles with the following criteria: Participants must utilize the Destroyer character archetype, a build characterized by a focus on combat, less dialogue, and a greater overall difficulty, making it the supreme way of testing dungeon-crawling prowess. All runs must be clean – meaning absolutely no cheats, mods, or unauthorised exploits will be permitted.

Top 10

The lucky 10 who achieve the best times will be immortalised as special NPCs added to a special level within the Hyper‑Dungeon. Each NPC will include the following:

One animated pixel art sprite
Two portraits visible during dialogue with the NPC
Up to two short lines of dialogue (agreed upon with the winners and with Fix-a-Bug's approval) translated into all languages supported by The Crazy Hyper‑Dungeon Chronicles (English, Italian, Russian, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese).

The Champion

On top of this, the player with the fastest time will receive not only the adulation of their fellow dungeoneers, but an extra reward in the form of the following:

An optional secret boss hidden in level 47, which, when defeated, will drop a unique piece of equipment that grants the players a significant boost (need to iron out what this will be). The Fix-a-bug team will also collaborate with the winner to design a personalised boss attack animation and mechanic.
