Enemies are ammunition.

One pair of boots. Three dungeon floors. A room full of bad decisions waiting to become a chain reaction.

KICK.EXE is a compact turn-based dungeon crawler where positioning matters. Kick enemies into explosive barrels, slam them into walls, send them across spikes, or make their own attacks hit each other.

Enemies move after your actions. Take your time, read the red attack marks, and find the kick that turns a crowded room in your favor.

Inside the dungeon

  • Three floors and a boss with two attack phases.
  • Four enemy types with attacks you can dodge or interrupt.
  • Six upgrades to choose from between floors.
  • Explosive barrels, breakable walls, spikes, and chain reactions.
  • A guided tutorial and illustrated help.
  • Minimal ASCII-like graphics and a gentle ambient soundtrack.
  • Dungeon codes that let you replay the same layout and upgrade choices.

Controls

  • WASD / Arrow keys: Move. Walk into an enemy to deal 1 damage.
  • Space: Aim a kick. Choose a direction, then press Space / Enter to kick.
  • Escape: Cancel aiming, or pause/resume.
  • Period (.): Wait one turn.
  • M: Mute/unmute. Adjust music separately in the pause menu.
  • 1 / 2 / 3: Choose an upgrade.

Tap once per action; holding a key does not repeat moves. Aiming, menus, and blocked actions do not spend a turn.

Play

Launch in fullscreen on a desktop or laptop browser. Keyboard required; touch controls are not included. No download or account is needed to play.

Your goal: Defeat every enemy on each floor, then enter the golden exit door. Defeat the boss and escape the third floor to win.
