About the Game

In Roll, you have 2500 rolls to collect as many points as possible. Roll your dice to gain points, spend your points to upgrade your dice, and repeat. Borrowing gameplay elements from strategy, clicker, and roguelike deckbuilder genres, Roll creates a perfect balance of relaxation with critical thinking.

Roll is designed first and foremost as a relaxing and meditative experience. Get lost in the puzzle as the satisfying sounds and effects melt away your worries. From the minimalistic UI to the slow peaceful music, everything was designed to create the perfect zen environment.

If that's not enough to convince you, perhaps one of the HUNDREDS of dice upgrades will. Roll is about much more than simply rolling dice! There are infinite combos and synergies to explore, numbers to multiply, infections to cure, and snakes to charm! Global leaderboards and weekly challenges ensure there is always something to come back for!

A Note From the Developer:

If you’re thinking about buying Roll please keep in mind that while I am super passionate about this game, I am a solo developer. This is not a triple A experience with 4k graphics. Instead, I offer a deep, satisfying experience inspired by roguelike mechanics. Get it for less than Mcdonald's.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have feedback, questions, or problems with the game. I’ll do my best to get back to you as quickly as possible and provide support if needed. Also let me know if you enjoyed the game, because that makes my day and motivates my future projects!
