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. :)

You draw the districts. You decide who wins. Drawcracy is a darkly funny puzzle about gerrymandering — the real-world art of drawing electoral maps to rig who wins before a single vote is counted. Here, a fair map is a failure. The goal is to carve the districts so your side takes more seats than its share of the vote could ever deserve — and to do it without the courts noticing. The catch: the mechanic IS the abuse it's teaching. By the end you won't just know what gerrymandering is — you'll know how it's done, because you'll have done it. HOW IT PLAYS • Read the map — blue and red precincts, a target number of seats, and a vote share that says you shouldn't hit it. • Draw the lines — drag across precincts to carve contiguous districts. Pack your opponents into one throwaway seat, crack them across many, bend the borders. • Win ugly — claim a majority you never earned. • Don't get caught — a live scrutiny meter tracks how brazen your map is. Cross the line and the courts throw it out. WHAT'S INSIDE • A 12-map campaign that escalates from a quiet favour to an outright heist, each ending in a plain-spoken lesson on the real tactic you just pulled. • Endless mode — infinite, freshly generated maps and a climbing Operative Rank that never resets. • Game Center achievements and leaderboards. • A tactics tree of real-world manoeuvres to unlock and equip. THE DEAL • One price. No in-app purchases. No ads. No tracking. No accounts. Plays fully offline. Note: Drawcracy is satire. Its factions are abstract Blue and Red — no real parties, candidates, or people are depicted.
