## What it is
DungeonRush is an open-source action game inspired by Snake, written in pure C using SDL2. It features singleplayer and LAN multiplayer modes where players grow a hero queue, fight monsters, and collect weapons with buff/debuff effects.

## Use cases
- play a snake-inspired action game on desktop
- play a LAN multiplayer game with a friend
- study a complete game written in pure C with SDL2
- install a lightweight open-source game on Linux via AUR or AppImage
- port a simple SDL2 game to other platforms like Android

## When to choose
- you want a free, lightweight snake-like game with combat and progression
- you need a small, readable C/SDL2 codebase to learn game development
- you want a simple LAN multiplayer game to play with a friend on the same network

## When to avoid
- you need a modern, actively developed game with online matchmaking
- you want a game with extensive documentation or commented code
- you need cross-network internet multiplayer rather than same-LAN play

## Facets

- function: game-engine, gui
- domain: gaming-tools, cross-platform
