Roll, collect, and battle a squad of marshmallow Qbies. Every Qbie starts as a roll of the dice. Hatch them across eight worlds, from the Forest to the Cosmos, then keep going into the endless Titan worlds where the fights never stop climbing. WHAT YOU DO Roll dice to hatch new Qbies. Pick your best five and send them into battle against power-matched rivals and world bosses. Win to grow stronger, climb to the next world, and chase the rare ones. COLLECT A WHOLE CAST Dozens of Qbies to find, each with its own look and signature ability. The Qbie Index shows every slot as a silhouette until you collect it, so you always know what is left to chase. Limited Qbies like Solid Gold and Space Explorer only turn up on rare Ultra rolls. BUILD AND TRAIN YOUR TEAM Level up your Qbies with training XP, merge three of a kind to evolve them, and equip gear won from chests. Your team carries between fights, so every upgrade matters. REAL ESCALATION Each world raises the stakes, and the boss at the end is a genuine wall. Beat it to push forward. The endless worlds keep scaling for players who want to see how far their squad can go. FAIR AND CLEAR Every dice type shows its real drop rates before you roll. No hidden odds. SEASONS AND DAILIES Climb the Battle Pass each season for rewards, including the limited season Qbie. Daily Quests give you a reason to drop in and a steady push toward your next pull. Designed for quick sessions and built to play one-handed in landscape. Free to play, with optional purchases.
