Pokermancer is a roguelite poker-puzzle game built for quick, strategic runs. Trace paths through a 4x4 grid of cards to create poker hands and reach the target score. Cleared cards disappear, new cards fall in from your deck, and every path you draw can matter as much as the hand you form. Between rounds, spend your gold in the Break Room on trinkets and items that change how you score. Discover powerful synergies, shape your build, and turn modest hands into massive results. Each floor adds new hazards that change the board, including frozen, burning, and statically charged cards. Every fifth round, a boss changes up the rules. Adapt your strategy or lose the run! Beat all five tables to unlock Overtime, an escalating difficulty mode with ten ranks that remove resources, add challenges, and push your builds even further. Play for free through the first three floors. One purchase unlocks the full game! Features: * 100+ trinkets and 30+ items to collect * 11 unique starting packs each with their own perks and spells * 25+ boss conditions * 7 hazard types to contend with * 10 Overtime difficulty ranks per pack * Keep playing in an endless mode beyond floor 5 * Portrait orientation and one-handed play * No ads, no loot boxes, no pay-to-win; one purchase unlocks the entire game and all future content

EVERY GAME BECOMES A PAINTING Draw lines to trap the bouncing dots, and every board you finish becomes a painting with its own title, like “Composition No. 2 with Yellow, Red, and Blue.” Every day the whole world gets the same board for free. You swipe and a line grows both ways from your finger. If a dot hits it before it’s finished, it breaks. Close off a space with no dots in it and it fills with paint. Paint three quarters of the open canvas and the painting is yours. You get three tries at each day’s board. Mondays are gentle, and the week builds to Saturday. If your friends have played, you race whoever is just ahead of you, and when you finish you can lay their lines over yours in pencil to see how they did it. Your first painting hangs in your gallery, and your fastest time is kept. You can also paint one canvas together, with up to three of you: passing one phone around, on your own phones in the same room, or taking turns from far away, a line at a time. The full edition is one purchase, shared with your family. It opens every board since No. 1, all sixty Solo levels, painting far away with two friends, and whatever we add later. Today’s board stays free either way. • A daily leaderboard, a daily challenge and ten achievements in Game Center. • Widgets for today’s board and your paintings. • Siri can start today’s board or tell you how you did. • Today’s board and Solo work offline. No ads, no account needed. Terms of Use: https://playcomposition.com/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://playcomposition.com/privacy/
