A tweet-based journal of what I’ve been playing…
This is where @tiny_rogues shines:

– Trait: On collecting a⭐️, rain Meteors
– Boots: On dash, spawn a ⭐️ on you
– Helmet: On orbital rotation, trigger "on dash"
– Trait: Gain 2 blade orbitals
Result: 💥💥💥💥💥 (without even attacking) pic.twitter.com/xnHj1eAbYH
Could be the next big #roguelike hit! 👀 https://t.co/MpZdNSGCtw pic.twitter.com/djmZlFDzfH

Really enjoy the addition of the new character "Dark Twig" in a recent @FairytaleFables patch. Huge enabler for stealth builds! 🥷 pic.twitter.com/ZfNB122vWu

Searching For Rest is a #roguelike card-revealing game with a bit of a push-your-luck factor to it, as well as light deckbuilding elements. Information is key, cause your deck doesn't just hold power-ups but also your enemies. Quite random, but also a unique take on the genre! 🪦 pic.twitter.com/DhLx5iF0KL

Mixing in some of the more "maximalist" community-created levels in Mosa Lina feels kind of weird. The contrast to @wombatstuff's originals is huge. It's also a super fun and fresh experience though! 🤩 pic.twitter.com/xzPGJyr7cR

Probably haven't had this much fun with a math game since Calculords (those were the days)! 🤓 https://t.co/QQjbuzf334 pic.twitter.com/NKZDvqU8rV

The fact that @HotloopGames made The Last Flame as a solo dev is insane. It's a single-player take on the traditional (Dota) Auto Chess formula, but it does away with "tribal" bonuses in favor of more free-form synergies. Makes it a little less accessible but adds top-end depth! pic.twitter.com/k61ovXvfcZ

Lonestar is a cool #roguelike that feels like a mix of a dice and card game. In my PICO-8 game Martial Cards I had this dual-deck system (directions and ranges) to generate movement options. Similarly, this game combines a color and a numbers deck for random energy slot options. pic.twitter.com/nicAS4ELKg

Into the Necrovale @clydegamedev is a #roguelike-ified ARPG. Combat and game feel are already (just entered early access) super solid. Lots of (rather grindy) meta unlocks but mostly for opening up new mechanics rather than direct power so far. Excited to see where this one goes! pic.twitter.com/zNMsjdu2eI
— Fabian Fischer 🎱 Rack and Slay (@Ludokultur) January 27, 2024
New demo from the dev who brought you Forward: Escape the Fold. It's *very* good and super polished already! Played a couple runs and it immediately jumped into my most anticipated games. https://t.co/ONtBJNTYiw

The quality of life in @Spellrogue is already through the roof (even though it just came out in EA) and there are quite a few builds to make. Also, the dice are used 100% as input randomness. So if you're looking for a great new Spire-like strategy #roguelike, this is it. pic.twitter.com/3xAPelxoZt

1000+ overwhelmingly positive reviews on day 1 are no fluke, but well deserved!
— Fabian Fischer 🎱 Rack and Slay (@Ludokultur) February 21, 2024
I'm probably just biased though as I just found myself (in very good company!) in the special thanks section. ❤️ https://t.co/NP8GLZwl3n pic.twitter.com/rOnNsR38v4
If you're wondering whether builds can be wacky enough in @LocalThunk's Balatro…

🃏 Jokers: +8 mult per club, every card counts in scoring, +20 mult if only 3 cards played, x1 mult for empty joker slots, x0.25 mult per skipped blind.
♣️ Result: 54k points with a high-card 9. pic.twitter.com/QbfvEBBSU5

"Inverse Minesweeper" is a very apt description. As fun as it is inspiring! 🙂 https://t.co/1MLiGD8i2U

I love the super snappy WikiArena-like format of @slahserdota's Behold Battle. It gives you some quick and casual auto-battler-ish fun without having to dive into positioning, economy and all that. Easily worth its low price. pic.twitter.com/6UrhuE8ipi
Praised be @wombatstuff for adding coop to Mosa Lina! 🪱❤️ pic.twitter.com/ARIQRMbv1d

Really like how combat in Mortal Glory 2 by @RedbeakGames revolves around movement, knockback and the arena. Immediately puts it above all the "I hit you, you hit me" attrition battles.

Also that "all environment effects from this unit SPREAD" item leads to some chaos, huh? 🔥 pic.twitter.com/CECtfFDS1j
Heads up! The demo of Sulfur (@perfectrandom_) is out now and very promising so far! Extraction-style FPS #roguelike with a hefty Tarkov influence (including weapon modifications), but quite accessible and in a beautifully strange setting! pic.twitter.com/92hMIh80YE

Using potion belts to store armor in them in the early days of @TweetFurcifer's Backpack Battles early-access phase… oh well, if it works it works! pic.twitter.com/OFMZcMEZVd

It breaks my brain but it's very cool! https://t.co/rcqrnVLgEi

So the battle rage buff (Beserker dropping below 50% health) goes quite hard in Backpack Battles, huh? pic.twitter.com/Z4n36oL49L

Very interesting game of probabilities. You don't choose where to go exactly, but pick a row with (up to) 4 tiles, trying to mitigate risks and maneuver through the levels using various abilities and items. Looking forward to the full release! https://t.co/FBnew3razu pic.twitter.com/ucejMzZiF3

One of the best dice #roguelike games ever is now on Steam and iOS, also massively updated on all other platforms. Don't sleep on it! 🎲 https://t.co/GydeBSXuzv

Bingle Bingle is Balatro but roulette, though it easily has its own identity. You build the wheel and available balls + bets to form synergies. Simple example below: Create a pocket of 22s, get a targetable ball, go all in on 22. Usually not reliable, but here you can make it be. pic.twitter.com/X8zRrsuJoZ
