Underworld Siege

Underworld Siege by Benjamin Soulé is a turn-based dungeon management game that was made for Ludum Dare 33 in 48 hours! You take control of the (presumably) evil demon at the centre of a modest dungeon that you must expand and defend against adventuring heroes. Dungeon Keeper comes to mind when playing this game. Beautiful Pico-8 graphics and clever gameplay make this a cart you definitely need to check out.

Underworld Siege was later expanded into a full game named The Wratch's Den for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
