We make small, strange, carefully built games. Right now that's one: Die Fighter, a sci-fi dice roguelike coming to Steam.

Die Fighter

A sci-fi dice roguelike where every die you spend is handed to your enemy. Build a machine from 80+ tiles that turns one roll into a chain reaction, and fight your way up a fleet fleeing a black hole.

  • Genre Dice roguelike
  • Platform PC, Mac, Linux (Steam)
  • Engine Godot
  • Status In development

Your dice arm them

Every die you spend goes to the ship you're fighting and loads one of its guns. Each roll is a trade: how much do you need it, and what will it cost you next turn?

Build a machine

Draft tiles, upgrade them and wire them together. Relays feed cannons, cannons feed shields, and a good build plays itself out in a single roll.

Outrun Fate

A black hole is eating the galaxy and the whole fleet is running. Pirates, civilians and gate bosses stand between you and the next jump, and the fleet remembers who you helped.
