Enter the Enchanted Cave, collecting artifacts, stat gems and gold as you fight to reach floor 100! Use the Escape Wings to teleport out and recover, then head back in with powerful artifacts to delve deeper into the cave each time. Improvements from the flash game: - User interface completely redone for small touchscreens. - Tap to move where you want to go with smart pathfinding - you won't walk into a monster unless you tap their exact square. - Fast-find an item in your inventory by tapping it when you open a chest. - A "Sell Junk" button in the shop to quickly sell all of your non-artifact, non-potion old equipment. - Damage and Magic formulas simplified and re-balanced (Attack magic is useful now!). - Magic window to allow you quickly cast a spell without opening your inventory. - Potions window to quickly use potions without opening your inventory. - Saving can be anywhere in the cave to be picked up later. Auto saves each floor. - Walk on empty gold bags. - Low-life warning. - New title screen. - Higher stairs contrast. - Faster movement.

In Roll, you have 2500 rolls to collect as many points as possible. Roll your dice to gain points, spend your points to upgrade your dice, and repeat. Borrowing gameplay elements from strategy, clicker, and roguelike deckbuilder genres, Roll creates a perfect balance of relaxation with critical thinking. While the "Clicker"/"Incremental" genre is not known for its variety or depth of game mechanics, Roll offers a unique dicebuilding system which allows you to explore different strategies and synergies between upgrades. Each run will present you with new and interesting decisions creating a huge depth of strategy and keeping the game feeling always fresh. Roll is designed to be a relaxing and meditative experience. Get lost in the satisfying sounds and effects as all your worries melt away. From the minimalistic UI to the slow peaceful music, everything was designed to create the perfect zen environment. If you enjoy building an engine and watching it grow, chasing down highscores, or just need to escape from your own thoughts, then I really hope you'll enjoy my game, Roll. :)
