Barus

Blast off in Barus, a unique roguelike that fuses the strategic depth of poker with the thrill of bingo. You are a lone alien, stranded on Earth and desperately trying to get back to your home planet. Your only hope is to travel across the cosmos, but the universe is a dangerous place filled with monstrous bosses who want to stop you.

To survive, you'll need to master the cards. Fill your 5x5 bingo board with randomly generated playing cards, forming powerful poker hands to earn Gems and activate your arsenal. From Straights and Flushes to a rare 5 of a Kind, every hand you make is a weapon. With 12 unique weapons, each corresponding to a poker hand, you'll need to make the right hands at the right time.

But the fight isn't over when the cards are played. Strategically place Quarks on your board to complete bingo lines and form particle combinations, racking up huge scores to meet your target. You can store Bingo Calls for later use or even spin a prize wheel for a chance at a big reward—or a big loss. Use your hard-earned Gems and Money at the Shop to upgrade your Quarks and weapons, turning your UFO into a galactic powerhouse.

With 11 stages and challenging bosses at the end of each one, every decision matters. Will you risk banking a call to set up a massive combo? Will you save that Wild Quark for a more difficult phase? The path home is long and treacherous. It's time to play your hand.
