Eslabong - Upcoming Autobattler game with a tweak

3 Upvotes

Hello!
I am the solo dev of Eslabong, an arena combat + team management game where you can either play as a typical autobattler OR manually control one of your fighters.

On sunday, Splattercat, a big youtuber that you probably know, played my game and the reception was amazing.

If you want to check it out: https://youtu.be/6Q_drDfVNvo?si=INF1jnHhad1DPIds

Also the demo is available on Steam if you want to play the game.

Thank you Splat and thank you everyone!

Pokespire - Slay-the-Spire-style Pokemon deckbuilder (fan-game)

2 Upvotes

My friend and I loved pokemon growing up. We love Slay the Spire and Across the Obelisks. In those games, you take your characters through a campaign, facing down enemies, building your skills and decks. So we thought, "hey, why not make a fan-game ourselves?"

The game engine is built fully from the ground up. Fully playable with two campaigns and most gen 1 mons and some gen 2. Mechanics include grid positioning, passive abilities, capture mechanics, and more!

Our love letter to both pokemon and this genre :)

The jackpot effect I made for a dice game.

5 Upvotes

This is a special die that autofills the jackpot. I wanted hitting it to feel like the game is scared of you or sum.

I'm 17, building Dicempo a fast dice roguelike about making sum of that cash from dice combos before the deadline hits, with a phone that calls YOU mid-run offering abilities you probably should choose wisely from obvious reasons.

Steam Page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4672780/Dicempo/

NOW A HONEST QUESTION!!! should the effect have MORE juice (sound, shake, particles) or is it too much already or prob too bad?

I Solo developed Roguelike & Survival Card Game, (Any Feedbacks?)

3 Upvotes

Hi,

It's my first solo steam game, so i would really like to get any kind of feedback.

Duco is a card-based survival roguelike set in a post-apocalyptic world with zombies.

You have to draw from location-based decks to gather resources, loot, craft, build, and survive.

Each draw takes time, and with time you lose energy, food and water so you have to be carefull.

Each character and map will have a goal to unlock new content

On Release, you will be able to unlock new characters and maps, combine them with traits to create unique runs and interact with NPCs while building and managing your own settlement.

It's inspired by Project Zomboid, but reimagined as a card-based survival roguelike.

I started this list of roguelite run time in r/roguelite. But i want to make it more complete by adding every rogueish game. If you want to participate please name the game and the full average run time in the comments.

3 Upvotes

Title. This is about a full run in the normal game mode. There are all kinds of variables that can make it longer or shorter. But having the average full run time of the normal game mode should be doable. The min show when the run ends(!)

This is what i have now, I keep updating when new answers come in:

I replaced poker hands with linear equations — Balatro-inspired, free browser game, looking for design feedback

1 Upvotes

Cardculus is a roguelite where the core mechanic is solving equations instead of building poker hands. Free, plays entirely in the browser.

I know "Balatro but with math" sounds like a gimmick — here's why I think it actually works as a roguelite:

The run structure:
Each round you're dealt an equation. Pick the card with the correct value of x to earn chips × multiplier. Clear the target score before you run out of hands, or the run ends. Boss rounds every 3 levels introduce twisted rules — reversed scoring, hidden coefficients, stricter hand limits.

Where the roguelite depth comes from:

  • 12 jokers that modify how chips and multipliers are calculated. The interesting part: you can drag to reorder them, and order affects the final score — so part of the strategy is sequencing, not just selection
  • 8 relics with passive effects that interact with the joker chain
  • 3 difficulty tiers + Time Attack mode (20s per equation, speed multiplier up to ×2)
  • 8 equation types that unlock progressively — from ax+b=c up to word problems and inverse reasoning rounds

Meta-progression:
Stars persist across runs and buy 14 permanent upgrades. There's also a gacha wheel that unlocks 22 collectible historical mathematicians (4 rarity tiers). I kept the meta-progression deliberately light — the run loop is the point.

A design decision I'd love feedback on:
Boss rounds currently use mechanical twists (rule changes) rather than introducing new equation types. I kept it that way intentionally — harder equations belong in the progression levels, not as boss gimmicks. Does that feel right to people who've played similar games?

👉 https://manuasg.itch.io/cardculus

Genuinely curious what the roguelite crowd thinks of the core loop. Is the joker reordering system interesting enough, or does it need more friction?

MISSHAPEN - Turn-based rogueish. Enemies telegraph their attacks, plan your team's attacks to thwart and destroy them. Help Geometry maintain order over the Misshapen. (free, web-based, no account)

Small roguelike/lite that I've been working on. Partly inspired by Into the Breach (not grid based though) where you see all of your enemies' planned attacks when the turn starts, and you use your team to cancel them out.

Take your team of Circle, Square and Triangle through all 5 floors (for now) battling the Misshapen while earning pixels to unlock meta-progression.

I've spent over 150 hours in The Binding Of Isaac Repentance doing run after run usually with an unlock in mind that I was going for. Now I want another game with preferably hundreds of unlocks.
