Try the demo of Spinny Dungeon: the next game from the creator of Words Can Kill

The demo of my next game just came out! Spinny Dungeon is a slot machine roguelike inspired by Luck be a Landlord and Plants vs. Zombies. The FULL run with one hero is currently available in the demo.

Each time you hit the SPIN button bloody monsters creep closer. Stop them before they reach your soul locked deep inside the ancient slot machine. KILL these freaks! LOOT 'em! EAT 'em!

Build your own deck from weapons, plants, magic artifacts and companions. These symbols will be randomly rearranged on the board after each spin.

The game was balanced based on analytics added to the itch version and 400 successful and 2400 unsuccessful runs. The popularity of the different symbols was distributed fairly evenly in the decks of winning players. A lot of builds are viable. It looks like the game is HARD, but FAIR.

Words Can Kill is a fusion of roguelike deckbuilders and word games. But this game isn't about your vocabulary. It's about your decisions and resource management. You will travel through the fantasy world and fight monsters trying to find a more efficient way to use your letters and your gear.

Features

Indirect synergies. It's hard to consistently use a powerful weapon that requires 6+ letters for bonus activation with a deck full of rare letters and without additional draw sources.
Plan your future turns. Are you ready for a strong enemy attack on the next turn? Don't use words now, place your letter tiles on the board and wait. This way you can make multiple blocks on the next turn and defend yourself.
RNG management. Replace tiles in your hand any time you wish. But pay with your health.
Upgrade your deck. That tile with 'Q' poisons your life. Remove it from the deck on your next visit to the forge.
Easy to learn, hard to master. The game has simple mechanics but deep strategy. Only a true hero can save the princess!
Dozens of random enemies, random maps, tons of unique items. And it's a roguelike, so yet another stupid death awaits.
