Rogue Roll turns the deck-building roguelike inside out: instead of a deck of cards, you're building a deck of dice. Roll a hand, then play it like poker: pairs, straights, full houses, five of a kind. Chips times mult decides your score, and you need to clear a target before your rolls and hands run out. Clear the round, hit the shop, gear up, and go again. Every run is built from scratch. Buy dice across six distinct suits, from steady Standard dice to unstable Glitch dice and heavy-hitting Void dice. Stack relics like Chaos Engine, Bloodpact Sigil, or the ominously named Singularity and Event Horizon. Crack open packs for Enchanted dice that echo their score, weight themselves toward big numbers, or add flat mult just for staying in your hand. Then the bosses show up. The Silencer zeroes out your odd dice. The Wall raises your target by 50%. Crimson Pact punishes anything worse than a pair. The Timekeeper makes your target climb 10% after every hand you play. Nine bosses, each one forcing a different strategy. FEATURES Eight game modes, each with its own starting deck and rules, from The Standard's balanced opener to Void Walker's three huge, unstable dice and The Architect's build-from-nothing challenge. Unlock them one at a time by beating the last. A living economy of dice, relics, packs, and consumables, with dozens of combinations that can turn a mediocre hand into a run-ending combo. A daily challenge with its own seeded run, three attempts a day, and streak rewards for coming back tomorrow. Endless mode once you've cleared the standard 12 rounds, for chasing the highest score you can reach. Game Center leaderboards and achievements, plus full run history and lifetime stats so you can track your best hands and biggest scores. Rogue Roll is free to play. It's supported by ads, removable for good with a single one-time purchase, and that's the only real-money purchase in the game. No pay to win, just pay to build.

Stackbound is the block puzzle that finally gives you a reason to keep playing. Drop blocks on a 10x10 grid, clear rows and columns, and chain combos for huge scores - then turn every game into a roguelike run. Every few line clears you draft one of three relics: refill cleared columns, triple every fifth clear, bank gold, and dozens more that stack into wild combos. Survive deep enough and a boss floor appears, bending the rules with locked cells, shorter racks, or score taxes you have to play around. No two runs feel the same. A daily seeded run gives everyone the same board, so you can chase the top of your local leaderboard. Between runs, persistent meta progress unlocks new relics and grid skins that carry forward - the deck of possibilities grows the more you play.
