About
CONTROL THE CHAOS This isn't a luck simulator. This is strategic dice manipulation. Throw 3 dice. Rotate each die to any visible face. Score to pay your debts.
BUILD YOUR PERFECT DICE After each roll, spend pips in the shop to upgrade your dice. Add new faces, craft synergies, and build something that probably shouldn't work — until it does. Every decision compounds. Every run feels different.
FACE THE LOAN SHARK Clear your debts and the shark himself shows up and he doesn't play fair.
Boss rounds twist the rules with random modifiers
8 DICE SETS TO UNLOCK Each die isn't just a reskin. Different starting faces, unique passive abilities, and entirely new combo potential mean every unlocked die opens a fresh tactical rabbit hole.

Very fun game here . i always like when you can build different runs and i would love to see more faces in the game for the price is my only complaint but they can always be added and amended such as more weapons and warriors but a good idea would to put in faces that interact with a group of common and higher faces such as a food face , weapon face , plant face , explosive face, gem face and so on . Other interactions that give you a choice would also be great and face amplifiers would be massive like the gold face you added that i really like , so three things for me would bump this to a 10 but at the core here its a very fun and enjoyable game and only needs a few things to become one of my top dice rougelikes out there. 7/10
Pretty fun game! Balancing seems relatively good, dice choices are interesting, combo's are neat and varied, and it seems to be in a place where it avoids certain combos allowing you to "go infinite", meaning you feel less locked into certain OP builds. I enjoyed my runs, and will definitely play it a bit more. Some feedback: Rerolls are a bit pricy, and the huge amount of dice available means shops will rarely sell you synergies, so you end up skipping 90% of the time. I feel like there should be some reason to buy things once all your faces are full. (Weighted towards synergy? Better versions with higher stats at further tables?), and that reroll costs should scale less, or clear more often. Scaling dice faces are in a weird spot. You have to get them early, or you never have a chance to scale them up, and they are absolutely vital to a good run. I feel like this could be partially alleviated by allowing copied faces to copy current scaled values, instead of resetting them to base, or selling partially pre-scaled versions later in shops. The 1 locked dice boss is significantly harder than any other boss, it's ended all of my best runs, since the game ends up being heavily reliant on multiplicative faces, and losing a single dice cuts your scoring potential significantly. Not sure how to bring him in line without changing the identity of the fight (Lower cash requirement? Removing it for only a single round? Giving the player one more round? Dunno). Feedback aside, I had a ton of fun, and already am looking forward to trying other synergies!
Kept up with the development of the game, its pretty fun to relax and chill after a busy day :D Highly recommend.
An excellent way to pass the time with a simple goal in mind which is to make as much coin as you can! The items known as 'faces' varies mechanically in such a rich way, giving the players both an exploration factor as to what they might find whilst really making you think about optimal strategies in mind. I believe there is something here for everyone from the gameplay at its core being a roguelike which has become so prevalent with newer games today, bragging rights to be made when shooting for that spot at the top of the leader boards giving that competitive edge and for the completionist's who will want to obtain everything at hand via the collections tab.
its good
Das teuerste Parkticket meines Lebens!!!! Payroll macht einfach süchtig. Die Auswahl an Würfelseiten (Faces) ist sehr vielfältig und sorgt für jede Menge Abwechslung sowie unterschiedliche strategische Möglichkeiten. Der an die PS1 erinnernde Grafikstil passt hervorragend zu diesem Roguelike und verleiht dem Spiel einen besonderen Charme. Ich werde definitiv dranbleiben und bin gespannt auf zukünftige Content-Updates.
fun game to play when bored
So addictive. Cannot stop playing and don’t want to stop playing. So may different ways to pay the debts, and some clever easter eggs as well! Great development and will recommend to everyone.
Great simple game!
Really fun and addictive. For me it's a 8,5/10! A few things I'd love to see: more visual juice when upgrading and merging dice, some form of meta progression between runs, and more reasons to invest in specific dice. It could be cool if repeatedly upgrading the same die unlocked extra bonuses or synergies, making specialization a viable build path. You should also look into how Dice of Kalma handles explanations. I really like the optional "makes more sense" style descriptions that explain things in the context of the game. It makes mechanics much easier to understand at a glance without changing the depth of the system. Keep up the good work!
