About the Game

A roguelike deckbuilder without heavy RNG? Yes!

Dominova is no gambling simulator. The way you place your dominoes will determine most of your success. Building your deck, learning and mastering each domino type, choosing the correct upgrades will gain you massive advantages that will have a way bigger impact on the outcome of your run.

Explore the board

The more dominoes you place, the more the board expands, presenting new challenges and rewards. Depending on the obstacle you'll need to choose the right domino. Remove rocks with a hammer domino. Destroy ice with a fire domino. Protect your dominoes against a bomb with a shield domino. Collect rewards with the magnet domino.

Score points

The longer the domino chain, the higher you score. Not enough points? Then it's game over. Falling meteors will fill the board with new obstacles trying to break the domino chain. It is up to you to make sure you remain in control of the board, by either defending your dominoes or by removing obstacles.

Buy Nova cards

The success of your run is highly determined by buying Nova Cards. These cards can create powerful effects or score bonuses when you meet their requirements. When you match the correct Nova Cards with the right dominoes, crazy synergies will happen.

Defeat the Nova-Animals

There are 40 Nova-Animals that can hinder your progress. They all have their own ability that will put your deck and strategy to the test.

Features:

  • 10 decks with each their own characteristics and difficulty ascension system

  • 160+ nova cards that will determine the outcome of your run

  • 26 upgradable domino pieces

  • 40 bosses that will challenge your strategy

  • Every completed or failed run improves your build

  • Leaderboards to compare your score against other players

  • Endless mode
