Sortalis is a dice-building roguelike inspired by Farkle. Roll, score, and decide how far you’re willing to push your luck—then spend your winnings on Charms and upgrades that transform your dice, strengthen your strategy, and rewrite the rules. Every run becomes a new engine to build, exploit, and inevitably push a little too far. **What’s in the game?** • Endless challenges that grow tougher and demand new strategies • Over 150 upgrades to discover and combine into powerful builds • Rewards, unlocks, achievements, Dice Bags, and challenges to master • Multiplayer draft mode! **Roll, Set, or Bank** Roll and select scoring combos carefully. Roll again to make it bigger—or Farkle and lose the lot. Bank before your luck runs out. **Spend It in The Shop** Between Bouts, spend your winnings on Charms, Packs, Action Cards, and other upgrades. Don’t like what’s on the shelf? Redraw it and hunt for the piece your build needs. **Face The House** Every night ends with a boss that changes the rules. THE MISER, for example, won’t let you Bank until your Pot reaches 500. **Then Do It All Again** Every Bank and Farkle adds to your final score. Unlock 14 Dice Bags, tabletops, discover new combinations, and see how far you can push your next run.
Budbrain Cave Rescue
Read full descriptionHide full description
Lift off from the moon base, find the way down into the caves and land gently next to the stranded astronauts. They run to your ship and climb aboard. Fly them back to the base, refuel and head out again. Every world has its real gravity, from the Moon to Io, and every flight feels different. From level to level the caves grow deeper and more winding, with overhangs, side passages and wide chambers. Land too hard or scrape along the rock and it costs your shield. Every rescue earns experience for your ship: a stronger main engine, a bigger tank, more seats, a tougher shield, a brighter headlight. Credits from crates and crystals buy gear like a grabber arm, a searchlight, a radar, a small mining satellite and more. Once all 100 levels are done, the next difficulty level opens up. • 100 levels on ten real worlds • Simple controls: four buttons, nothing more • Upgrade your ship with experience and credits • Fuel cans and shield cells to collect along the way • Four difficulty levels, from Normal to Hardcore • A mission gallery with a map of every flight • Controls your way: split for two thumbs, adjustable size and spacing, for left- and right-handed players • Gamepads are supported • The game remembers where you left off • In 44 languages
