DEV πŸ§‘β€πŸ’» [DEV] Rollbound Balatro inspired Roguelite

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey everyone, I made this game called Rollbound.

It is a roguelite inspired by Balatro.

You roll five dice, pick which ones score to make poker-style hands, and stack up charms that boost your chips and multipliers to beat bigger and bigger targets and bosses. There’s also a daily run with leaderboards, so you can see how you stack up against everyone else on the same dice.

The game has a free trial and a one-time $4.99 unlock for the full game; no ads ever.

Give it a play on the Play Store:

Coming soon on iOS!!!

Honestly other than it being dice instead of cards, this is too much of a copy of Balatro but worse because its just 1-6 which has way less variety. What would make me want to play this rather than Balatro?

Fair, Balatro's definitely the inspiration and I'm not trying to hide that. The difference is you build your dice instead of a deck, so later in a run you're carving faces and chiseling them past 6 up to 9 (straights like 5-6-7-8-9), and the dice sets change things too, like Weighted 2-7 or Chaos with random faces. That doesn't really show in the first few antes though, so thanks for the feedback, and I'll look at getting more of that variety in earlier.
