Larn and Ularn are Roguelike dungeon adventure games similar in concept to Hack, Rogue, or Moria, but with a different feel and winning criteria.
This is an obsessively faithful browser-based rewrite of Larn and Ularn. It includes a few fixes, a global scoreboard, mobile support, a weekly challenge mode, and minor updates to balance the game at higher difficulties, bumping the version number to 12.5.3.
