This was such a fun game. The premise is so simple but works so well. Staying ahead of the baddies is like an exciting puzzle. It was even better playing single screen multiplayer with a buddy.

Does anyone know of anything that scratches a similar itch?

Side Note: in searching around I found this modernized version of Lode Runner Online: The Mad Monks’ Revenge. Should be a blast on the steam deck.

    Does anyone know of a spiritual successor?

            That stinks. It’s such good gameplay. I feel like it’s ripe for someone to take the gameplay loop and put their own spin on ie. What Dungeons did with dungeon keeper.

          This looks more like the successor to Lode Runner’s Rescue on Commodore 64!

          Spelunker got modern versions. Lode Runner, not so much.

            This looks like the version I reference in my post, Lode Runner: The Legend Returns.

              Could be that it just looked different on pc. I was looking for that game a decade or so ago and only found references to the playstation version abd gave up at the time. That game stole many a day from my life, was even a map editor so making cusom levels was so fun.
