About the Game

Nildigo is a spicy-zen puzzle roguelite that blends elements of picross and mine-finding puzzles with roguelite permadeath and Perk synergising.

A board of $1s, x2-x8 multipliers and Nils greets you: find everything but the Nils, or lose a life and try again. Rows and columns show the sum of all numbers in the row, and the number of Nils. Use that information, mixed with Perks, Powers, and sometimes just educated guessing, to clear each board.

You can choose to clear a board early once you reveal all the Multipliers, or full-clear it by exposing every $1 as well. Once cleared, your accrued winnings are multiplied and added to your money.

Acquire powers at the Power Grabber machine on weekdays, using them to avoid the deadly Nils between rounds. On weekends, visit the Perk Meet and spend your winnings on over 200 perks which can be collected, stacked, and stored for exponentially explosive results in the billions of trillions and beyond.

And every 10 levels, for the first time, pay a permanent tithe to Nildigod to be granted permanent Perks that blow the game wide open and expand your Perk potential further.

Nildigo starts calm, but quickly becomes tense, exciting, and endlessly addictive.
