About the Game

This is a roguelike dice builder where the goal is simple: roll dice, make hands, and get your score as high as possible.

Each run starts with a basic set of six-sided dice, but as you play you'll collect items that completely change how scoring works. Some items reward specific hands, some modify your dice, and some interact with each other in ways that can exponentially raise your score. Half the fun is finding combinations you didn't expect and watching your score suddenly explode.

As the run goes on, the score requirements keep getting higher. You'll need to decide whether to play it safe with a reliable build or take risks on powerful item combinations that could either carry your run or leave you scrambling to survive the next round.

The game takes inspiration from poker-style hands and roguelike deckbuilders, but instead of building a deck of cards, you're building around a set of dice and a growing collection of items. Every run gives you different options, which means you're constantly adjusting your strategy and trying to make the most of what you're offered.

Features

  • Roll dice and score using familiar poker-style hands.

  • Collect items that change how your run works.

  • Build powerful synergies and discover combinations.

  • Make difficult choices between consistency and greed.

  • Adapt to random item offerings every run.

  • Chase high scores and see how far your build can go.

  • Plenty of replayability with different builds and strategies.

Whether you're carefully planning every roll or just trying to see how badly you can break the game, there's always another build to try.

Made almost entirely by one person!
