  • Engage in active time battles and manipulate the flow of time with Spinner Gadgets.
  • Build your deck by buying new cards and converting cards into upgrades for other cards.
  • Create synergies with persistent and/or consumable gadgets that interact with cards, other gadgets, and moment to moment combat outcomes.
  • Each card is a unique micro-game, and how you scratch it matters. Speed, precision and quick decision making are needed to win.
  • Lots of different status effects and card/gadget synergies make for a wide range of builds and approaches to battle!

About this Game

I started working on this game in 2023, inspired by games such as Inscryption, Peglin, Luck be a Landlord and Dicey Dungeons. In particular, after playing Peglin I was thinking about other sources of randomness and surprise like Pachinko, and I thought of scratch off tickets and said, "that sounds fun!" :) My goal is to have a demo out in 2026 and release the full game in 2027.
