Enter the Rift. Build an operative strong enough to return. VOIDWAKE is a portrait-first tactical action RPG built for one-handed play. Swipe the arena to move or attack in eight directions, tap to hold position, or engage a configurable autopilot that reads hazards, objectives, firing lines, and enemy behavior one tactical turn at a time. CHOOSE YOUR OPERATIVE Master four distinct combat doctrines: the explosive Breacher, relentless Reaver, system-driven Operator, and shield-bearing Auric Warden. Each begins with its own equipment rules, innate abilities, and three genuinely branching talent trees. BUILD A SYNERGY ENGINE Weapons, armor, shields, and relics can combine a Trigger, an Effect, and modifiers into readable mechanical sentences. Critical hits can launch arcs. Blocks can answer with shield strikes. Burning enemies can spread fire. Summons, statuses, reactions, and class talents can reinforce the same engine. DESCEND THE RIFT Fight through four sectors and twenty compact arenas. Read enemy telegraphs, survive changing hazards, break sector Guardians into loot and coin orbs, choose dangerous temporary Void gifts, and destroy the Rift Heart. Every item and level is permanent, even on death; extracting safely adds a coin dividend. RETURN TO THE COMMAND DECK Equip and compare loot, rebuild talents freely, buy and sell at Requisitions, tune favorite items, unlock deeper Rift tiers, and maintain a roster of persistent operatives. BUILT BY ONE DEVELOPER VOIDWAKE is made by one developer in spare time. It is a love letter to the action RPGs and strategy games that made the '90s feel limitless, rebuilt for quick portrait sessions with deep loot, expressive builds, and no ads, accounts, or always-online grind. - Designed for portrait iPhone and iPad play - Manual swipe controls and configurable tactical autopilot - Four operatives and twelve branching talent trees - Procedural trigger-effect equipment - Offline play with local saves - No account, advertising, tracking, or in-app purchases

Real blackjack, then everything you are not supposed to do at a blackjack table. Every winning hand builds a STACK and multiplies it by ODDS. Beat each table's target across eight floors of a casino that gets meaner the higher you climb. HIRE HUSTLERS Over 150 of them: a dealer who stands too early, a tell on the hole card, cards that score three times. Stack them into combos that should not work. DOCTOR YOUR DECK Mark, shave, bend and gild your own cards in the back room. Up to three tricks on one card. SIDE BETS Real casino side bets with stakes you set, turning your cash into score. PIT BOSSES Every third table someone sits in with a rule of their own: ties go to the house, your total is hidden, no doubling. PLAY FREE, UNLOCK ONCE The free game includes three characters and the full eight-floor run. One purchase opens up the full game: all eight characters and every Heat level to earn as you play, plus the Daily deal and shared-deck mode. No ads. No timers. Pitboss uses play money only. It does not offer real-money gambling or a chance to win real money or prizes. Success in this game does not imply future success at real-money gambling.
