Cables & Crypts

Cables & Crypts

Wire your controls. Brave the dungeon.

You don't just play Cables & Crypts - you build the controller first.

Before every run, you're dropped into a tangled mess of cables and key inputs. Drag them, plug them into the right slots, and decide how you'll move, attack, and survive. Then the dungeon opens.

Each floor is a procedurally generated crypt filled with enemies, locked doors, and secrets. Fight your way through, collect coins, and make it to the next level - if your setup is good enough.

Between floors, visit the shop. Spend your coins on new key inputs to expand your controller, or invest in powerful upgrades that change how you play entirely. Choose wisely: every input you plug in costs energy, and energy is life.

Controls

Cables & Crypts has no fixed controls - you decide them.

Drag cable inputs onto action slots to assign your keys. Every action is yours to wire up as you see fit. Replug between runs to adapt to what the dungeon throws at you.
