Dungeon Sweep

Tap to launch a hero into a dungeon and swipe the falling loot into your bag as they auto-slash everything in their path.

Core mechanic

Tap to send hero into dungeon → autobattler fights while loot rains down → swipe coins/gems into your pouch → spend on damage/HP/unlock next floor.

Controls

Tap to launch hero; swipe down/left/right across screen to funnel flying loot into your bag (one-thumb).

Theme

Idle fantasy dungeon crawler with autobattler heroes and tiered dungeon floors.

Why now

Idle RPGs dominate mobile (Whiteout Survival, Archero) and itch.io's dungeon-crawler tag is hot with Legends of Dragaea leading the conversation.

Hook
6/10

Recognizable Archero-style autobattler RPG core with a novel swipe-to-bag twist; satisfying coin-rain visuals exist but the underlying 'tap-to-launch hero' archetype is already well-trodden.CrazyLabs lists swipe and idle-autobattler among common HC mechanics — novelty ceiling is limited.

Virality
5/10

Swipe fail moments are TikTok-friendly in principle, but the itch.io source title (Legends of Dragaea) is a $6.99 paid niche game with no breakout viral traction, and the broader idle RPG space is mature rather than trend-spiking.Source trend is a small paid itch.io release with limited reach, not a viral moment.Idle RPG category plateaued at ~$130M monthly IAP — mature, not trending up.

Simplicity
7/10

Tap-to-launch + one-thumb swipe is genuinely simple, but layering autobattler + swipe collector + upgrade tree + floor progression pushes it into hybrid-casual complexity rather than pure hypercasual.Casual benchmarks report flags hybrid casual as the trending tier — more systems than pure HC.

Monetization
7/10

Idle RPG is a proven $130M/month IAP category and rewarded video drives 39% of casual-game revenue — natural ad breaks between runs and rewarded 'double loot' fit the swipe mechanic cleanly.TopOn H1 2025: rewarded video = 39% of casual revenue; interstitials rising.Sensor Tower confirms ongoing revenue from top idle RPGs across the quarter.

Whitespace
3/10

Idle RPG/dungeon-autobattler is crowded with established leaders (Archero, Legend of Mushroom, Idle Heroes) and an existing 'top 10' list — the swipe-collect overlay is a thin differentiator in a plateauing, saturated niche.A formal top-10 idle RPG leaderboard exists — the category is mature and crowded.Liftoff 2025 report tracks crowded casual rankings — new entrants face high CPI.
