Pick a door. You’ll probably be fine. Mind the Door is a survival roguelike about doors, death, and poor judgment. Inspect the doors, search your surroundings, and decide how much you trust what you find. The Corridor has opinions about your decisions. Most are unhelpful. Free to play. No forced ads. Optional rewarded ads, if you’re open to bribery. THE DOORS HAVE TELLS Look closely before you choose. Clues can help you judge the risk, and a well-timed Hint, Peek or Shield can make a difference. Luck still gets a vote. CURIOSITY HAS CONSEQUENCES Explore atmospheric 3D rooms, investigate the furniture, and discover what the Corridor is hiding. A perfectly ordinary room can turn out to be anything but. So can a perfectly ordinary door. HELP WITH TERMS ATTACHED Solve puzzles to earn tools. Pick up optional jobs from the Assignment Phone, or visit a Requisition Desk for supplies and Contracts. The Corridor is happy to help. That should concern you. YOUR BAD DECISIONS HAVE A RECORD Unlock lasting upgrades and collect Keepsakes to shape future runs. Earn badges and achievements as you play, and collect Incident Files for the unfortunate endings you discover. Your next of kin will appreciate the organization. ONE MORE DOOR Take on Daily runs and Challenges, climb the leaderboards, or try to beat your own best run. Pause and resume when real life insists. The next door could be your best decision yet. You’ve said that before.

The pool bar is always open! Ultrapool is a colorful roguelike about playing pool with a bunch of wacky balls with crazy effects. Carefully craft a perfect build and get the craziest trickshots! Get comfy, choose a cocktail, and get ready for a very special game of pool. Assemble a triangle of balls with strange effects and get the sickest trickshots. The bartenders won't be easy to impress! Ultrapool is an arcade-y colorful roguelike that plays like a pool version of Balatro and Super Auto Pets. Pocketing balls gives you score, and extra score gives you money you can spend at the bar to buy and improve your set of balls. Try to survive 10 rounds! We got both! Easy to pick up pool mechanics: just get the balls in the holes! But as you discover the wacky abilities the balls have, you'll get new ideas of how to get your score ever higher. A ghost ball that reappears on the table? A chicken ball that lays spherical eggs? A bomb that explodes if you bump it too much? The Earth? Anything is possible (as long as it's round and it rolls nicely, no cubes allowed!) Once you think you know the game, the cocktail bar opens. Ask the bartender to mix any two balls and he will serve you something special! Some of these will feel like they should break the game wide open, but you'll need every edge you can get if you want to pull off an all nighter.
