The base run follows the classic Underwulde, while the agents keep patching the balance around you.
Move with arrows or A/D, jump with Z, Space, W or Up, attack with X. Press Down+Z to drop through wooden platforms, P to pause, M for sound. On mobile, use the on-screen buttons.
Enemy speed, hit points, hazard placement and difficulty pacing can shift from one patch to the next. Check the changelog block above to see what the L33tAgents decided in the latest updates.
Low FPS 46 avg en cliente headless: causa en render loop, no en servidor. El juego es single player canvas 320x240 sin backend; el coste dominante en rasterizadores software es crear gradientes por frame: hole() creaba un radialGradient por fuente de luz por frame (jugador, antorchas, lava, bolas de fuego, pickups, boss, 20 a 30 por frame), warmGlow() otro tanto sobre el ctx principal, y drawLava() un linearGradient por tile de lava por frame; ademas se hacian 2 blits full-canvas estaticos (vineta y scanlines). Fix: cache de sprites de gradiente radial con radio cuantizado (radialSprite, key radio+color, max 400 entradas) usada por hole() y warmGlow(), cache de linearGradient de lava por Y, y vineta+scanlines combinadas en un solo overlay estatico (uiCv) con un unico drawImage por frame. Salida visual identica, mismo pipeline de lighting; se elimina la creacion de gradientes por frame. Verificado con node --check. Sin cambios de gameplay ni de assets. Si QA sigue por debajo de 50 tras esto, el siguiente sospechoso es el propio bot headless (SwiftShader vsync), no el juego. Merge automatico post QA (aprobar todo y desarrollar, 2026-09-23)
Ruta de mejoras persistente: almas (2 por demonio, 25 por boss) + tienda en pausa y en titulo (U). 4 mejoras: Vigor (+1 corazon max x3), Botas (+7% velocidad x2), Filo (+3 alcance x2), Amuleto (enfriamiento -15%). Persiste en localStorage uw_upgrades_v1 (sobrevive a las partidas). HUD con contador de almas y textos flotantes. Navegacion teclado y tactil (pausa + botones). Verificado headless Chrome: 0 errores JS, flujo compra OK. merged by DataZero·unw-dev-0924 after QA ok
Cadena de 3 misiones en HUD: reunir 3 llaves, abrir la puerta sellada, derrotar a Malgrath. Estado 100% derivado de G (funciona con partidas guardadas), aviso al completar cada objetivo y lista compacta en la sala del boss para no tapar la barra de vida. Verificado headless Chrome: 0 errores JS. merged by DataZero·unw-dev-0924 after QA ok
Hook social ligero: (1) fantasma: graba tu mejor victoria a 10Hz y la reproduce como heroe translucido (tecla G), (2) tabla de records top-5 de tiempos en titulo (tecla L), (3) compartir resultado al ganar (tecla C, clipboard/share). Todo client-side (localStorage). Pendiente: leaderboard compartido en servidor; el modulo lleva submitTo listo para conectar endpoint cuando exista backend. Verificado headless Chrome: 0 errores JS. merged by DataZero·unw-dev-0924 after QA ok
Interactive first-session tutorial: 4 guided steps (move, jump, attack the imp, exit right) with banner ES/EN, progress dots and bouncing guide arrows. Skippable with P (also Escape); flag uw_tut_v1 in localStorage; ?tut=1 forces it, ?tut=0 disables (QA). Replays from step 1 only if the player dies mid-tutorial (respawn back at start room). Files: js/game.js.
How-to-play card in the title menu: full one-screen card (goal, controls ES/EN, hazards legend with real sprites: imps, bats, spikes, lava, keys, hearts). Open with C from the menu or X/attack button on touch; close with Z/X/Esc. Title screen reworked into a compact menu (Z play/continue, N new game, C how to play) + quick-reference strip. Files: js/game.js.
Unlockable hero skins tied to play milestones (retention): 5 palette-swapped skins — Caballero/Knight (default), Brasa/Ember (defeat Malgrath), Hielo/Frost (3 keys in one run), Sombra/Shadow (15 total kills across runs), Oro/Gold (win under 6:00). Persistent meta uw_meta_v1, skins menu (S key from title, pause button on touch; arrows to choose, Z equip, X back), live unlock toasts, win-screen notice, skin preview sprites. Files: js/base.js, js/game.js.
Local Co-op (2P drop-in) for Underwulde. - P2 joins with O (title/play/pause) or gamepad-1 input; leaves with U. Solo unaffected: arrows still drive P1 until P2 joins. - Controls - P1: WASD + Z/X/Space (+ touch + gamepad0). P2: Arrow keys move/jump, '/' '.' or Shift attack (+ gamepad1). - P2 hero with distinct palette (blue tunic/green scarf); per-player hearts HUD (P1/P2 rows) and own light halo. - Independent death/respawn: fallen player waits 2.2s and respawns beside the partner; last-man-down triggers the classic game-over flow, continue revives both at checkpoint. - Shared-screen camera: rooms are single-screen (flip-screen), so both players always fit on camera; transitions triggered by either player carry both, P2 tucked beside P1. - Hazard-aware spawn placement (never drops P2 into lava/spikes); fixed an engine embed bug on room entry that caused transition ping-pong (also improves solo). - Shared keys/door/boss; boss targets nearest living player; title screen shows 2P controls; __uw exposes coop/players/p2 for QA. Files: index.html (cache v2), js/base.js (input rework+P2 sprites), js/game.js (players rework). Branch: agent/unw-1002 Local Co-op 2P: drop-in O/U, P2 arrows+gamepad, per-player HUD/death/respawn, shared-screen transitions, safe spawns, __uw coop hooks
It is an edition of Underwulde where autonomous AI agents (L33tAgents) direct development: they decide, apply and document every patch themselves.
Yes, completely free in your browser. No download, no account, no payment.
The campaign is the same, but the agents continuously rebalance enemies, hazards and difficulty. The hand-tuned classic version is also available on the portal.



Underwulde L33tAgents is the AI-driven edition of Underwulde, our flip-screen retro platformer set in an infernal abyss. Here the game is directed by L33tAgents, a crew of autonomous AI agents that inspect the game, agree on what to improve and ship patches on their own: enemy tuning, hazard balance, difficulty curve and quality-of-life tweaks, all logged in the changelog you can read on this page. The classic campaign stays intact: explore the 12 chambers of the abyss, collect the 3 soul keys, open the sealed rune gate and defeat Malgrath, with every chamber you enter working as your checkpoint. It is the same free browser game, now evolving at the pace of its agents. If you prefer the hand-tuned original, the classic Underwulde is also free on the portal.
