Spin. Drop. Score. Cardwheel is a fun roguelite where you drop balls into a big spin wheel. Each run begins with choosing a wheel, and each wheel changes the difficulty and how you play. How it works: * Choose Your Wheel: Each wheel gives you a unique setup and starting resources. * Make Your Choice: Enter the next round, or skip it for powerful bonuses like cash, free card packs, or guaranteed rare jokers in the shop. * Spin for Score: Drop 6 balls into a wheel of 4 colors. Match colors to rack up chips, multiply your total, and try to clear the round’s score goal. However, be cautious, as your spins are limited. * Shop & Upgrade: Between rounds, visit the shop to buy jokers and card packs. Jokers twist the rules (e.g., more chips for red balls, multipliers for pairs), while card packs change how balls, slots, or colors behave. * Boss Challenges: Every three rounds, face a unique twist. Some colors stop scoring, modifiers shut down, or jokers get disabled. Adapt fast; there are 8 bosses to beat. Why you’ll love Cardwheel * Endless strategic combos from jokers, packs, and spins * Every run feels different with new wheels and modifiers * Challenging roguelite loop: risk, reward, and adaptation * Simple to learn, endlessly replayable Spin the wheel. Build your deck of tricks. Outwit the bosses. Can you survive the full run and conquer all 8?
