The management RPG where your heroes keep fighting even when you're gone! Spend their loot on upgrades, unlock classes from Elemental Wizard to Cannon Pirate, and level up 20 unique skills like Farming, Sailing, and even Construction! GAME FEATURES • 19 unique classes to specialize into! Will you max out idle gains, or go for max loot drop chance? • 250 skill perks to play with! A minmax dream! • More content than any other idle game, and rarely found in other RPG games! Complete Post Office Orders, collect and upgrade Stamps, deposit Statues, hunt rare monster for special crafting recipes, pray at the Obol Altar, compete in minigames, build a factory, command pet battles, do research, and more! What other idle games even have half as cool of features? None of them of course! • Unlimited idle gains, unlike most idle Games that cap you at 12 hours. Ew, right? • Level up 12 unique skills in true RPG fashion: Mining, Smithing, Alchemy, Fishing, Woodcutting, Construction, Breeding, Cooking, and more! • Talk to 50+ NPC's, all with hand-drawn pixel art animations • Witness the mental decline of the developer who made this game all by themselves! They've gone so insane that they speak of themselves in the 3rd person! • 200+ unique Equipment, like Helmets, Rings, uh, weapons... you know, all the normal stuff in an MMO • Talk with other REAL people! Kind of like how I'm talking to you right now, except you'll get to talk back! • Get HYPED for new content coming in the future by joining my discord at: Discord.gg/idleon • Yo man, life is too short to be reading entire game descriptions. You got this far, so you either REALLY need to go download the game, or you just scrolled to the bottom to see what's here. If so, there's nothing here except a smiley face with a nose :-)

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. While the "Clicker"/"Incremental" genre is not known for its variety or depth of game mechanics, Roll offers a unique dicebuilding system which allows you to explore different strategies and synergies between upgrades. Each run will present you with new and interesting decisions creating a huge depth of strategy and keeping the game feeling always fresh. Roll is designed to be a relaxing and meditative experience. Get lost in the satisfying sounds and effects as all your worries melt away. From the minimalistic UI to the slow peaceful music, everything was designed to create the perfect zen environment. If you enjoy building an engine and watching it grow, chasing down highscores, or just need to escape from your own thoughts, then I really hope you'll enjoy my game, Roll. :)
