Die in the Dungeon CLASSIC
Die in the Dungeon is a deck-building, turn-based roguelite where you dont use cards, but dice! Try to find the best combination to conquer the 2X-floor dungeon, but be careful, a frog like you can only get so far before encountering a prey too big to swallow...

Die in the Dungeon is coming to Steam!
Big news today! We're working on a bigger, bolder and overall better version of Die in the Dungeon for Steam! There's still a long way to go before launch, but the Steam page is now live:
The single, most impactful action you can do to support us is wishlisting the game on Steam!
Of course, spreading the word among your friends, family and anyone you think can enjoy the game is also really valuable. We want to make everyone aware of this new version we're working on. But you're probably asking youself what will the Steam version include, right? Well, here are some of the features we're planning for it:
- Relics! 👑
- A completely new event system!⚖️
- More enemies! New bosses! 🐲
- Lots of new dice types and properties! 🎲
- A more complex dungeon layout! 🗺️
- And much, much more! 🤐
Hopefully all this is as exciting to you as it is to us, we've been working on the game for quite some time and we finally feel confident enough to take the leap and try to fulfill Die in the Dungeon's full potential. Let's try and make the best game possible!
And as always, thank you for supporting the game! 💪🐸

I cant play on browser
good game
The Browser version needs a save progress feature, also, nerf the final boss its extremely unfair
Amazing game! Say the magic words "dice" and "roguelite" and I am there. It's one of those games that's easy to learn but hard to master. Really looking forward to the full game.
I've been a major fan of rouge like games for a long time and I can tell this will be an excellent addition to the genre
Cant believe they made it for linux :)
In-browser version of this game is broken. Doesn't work in the latest versions of Firefox, IE, Chrome or Opera. It has certainly worked in Firefox in the past.
im on opera and it works for m
I just played it on Chrome
The first impression that i had with this game was: This is pretty good! I hope this can growth further.
And my surprise when i knew this was going to be on steam really make me happy, hope you guys are proud of the game u made.
Can you PLZ add saves
html5 dont work
Excellent game, is very addictive. Happy to see a new combat mechanical
i love this game, frog guy for fraymakers!
this game is very good and when i play this game i mute the music and put on the wise mystical tree for 10 hours
Here's some screenshots I have of me beating the game
February 11 2023
February 12 2023
I can't beat level 20
Ok nevermind I'm fine.
I'm new can some give me tips?
Finally Broke level 80! Got to 82.
All dice with Grow/hollow of course:
- Attack/Block
- Heal/Block
- Mirror
- Mirror
- Terrain
- Terrain
- Block (couldn't get a good 3rd one. Kept getting boost double dice )
As this is more than 5 blocks, there is some randomness, but I feel the randomness overall increases consistency as at higher levels, you need big hail mary plays.
General strat is to mirror/terrain every turn, while also doing a double die/mirror for damage/survivability.
Depending on the encounter / die rolls you will either want to prioritize living for one more turn, or taking down the biggest damage dealer.
Eventually it comes down to luck, because 3 purple flies, or 2 purple flies and a cicada mean GG no matter what you have, as the flies do 60-70 damage a turn. I was doing amazing with health RNG, and got up to 120HP, but even then it's not enough to play defensively and wait for grow dice to kick in.
At lower levels, strat is to pump out block until attack grows slowly... but eventually at the higher levels, you have to just commit to killing something, as there are enemy combinations that will kill you no matter how much health/shield you have.
Other good strats I used to get high levels, buit don't work as well as this:
- Mirror/terrain + lots of heavy dice ( so field always has 9 dice on it )
- 5 die strat, so you get the exact same roll every time. (terrain/2 mirror/2 doubles) problem with this strat is that you need to add heavy dice in, because after the terrian/mirror, you only have 3 dice on turn 2, and then on turn three you have another mirror/terrain.... which is too slow. 2 terrain/mirror allows you to fine tune exactly what you need for each round, and always have 5 die to play when you need it.
- Area / mirror / Terrain dice. Lots of fun, fast rounds.... you can kill everythign fast... but then you often end a fight without being able to fully heal... which means you die in the next fight.
really fun, the dicey dungeons at home.
funfun
Really Fun :)
fun! thanks.
bug: dice collector thanks you even when you change your mind and do not discard any dice
also a suggestion: remove dice from the board on left mouse click. lmb currently doesn't seem to do anything and it is intuitive to undo the dice placement with it.
I killed the bee by using terrain dice and honey to create a +43 slot, which I promptly use to grind her bee bones into dust. 10/10
Here's some images of my victories and defeats that I had on my computer for a while and want get rid of
3/11/2023
3/25/2023
I got the easter egg where the boss before New Game+ doesn't kill because you have more health then his 45 damage attack and yes here's also my victory (both are from 4/1/2023)
I also got New Game++ on 4/1/2023
Endless fun!
the green thing is very hot
i know im very handsome
Game is sick I'm suprised how much you did with this simple concept.
game is incredible :0
hey for some reason it wont let me play the gme
Yes me too
this game is so awesom i really love it
instant wishlist , i cant whait to play the full version
This was a great game, good job
This game is so fun! I just got sucked in for hours optimizing my deck and refining my strategy. Highly recommend!i reached level 25 and i played for various day.
do your best we all are waiting for the realease on the steam :)
just beat the game! only problem is, one fight 2 weak spot enemies attacked me and I needed to restart because it was impossible:(
I reached floor 20 on my first try, but I was at 12 hp and got killed by the boss :(
But aside from that, the game is awesome!
Tis the spirit of roguelike
more music please
i lost ):
and i got to floor 12. it's good for my first try, right???
yeah, more than halfway to floor 20!
first time getting 50+ floor(56 exactly) in endless mode.
man, phase 7 is no joke. I died from full 101 hp in like 2 rounds.
How do you play the endless mode ?
it's been a while since I played the game, so if nothing really changed at all (spoiler):
when you get floor 25 for the first time, the boss will kill you instantly, so you need to play the game again.
when you get floor 25 for the second time, now you will be able to fight the boss.
and if you manage to beat the boss, game will ask you whether you want to end the current run or enter the endless mode.
I love the Pixel graphics
On 1.6.2f, there are two bugs I’ve run into:
Other dies do have their effects mirrored properly, so I think it’s just a bug with pierce. /FYI
Thank you! 🙂
not sure if dev team is checking comments on itch.
their discord might be better option for bug report&feature request.
(I don't have a discord account tho, so cannot really tell this will work but you can give it a try.)
Yeah, I was afraid of that. I have anxiety about discord rn. Haven’t logged in on a few months and I probably have 10,000 messages to read. 😅
I’ll see about logging in there soon to double post this request / bug report. In the meanwhile I wrote a pretty crude glovepie script to use the number pad to place blocks, and the number keys to select them. It’s not great and it breaks for boss fights because the grid moves slightly, but it’s a stop gap for now.
ahahah, I see brother.
I hope they make this permanent feature, so players don't have to find&create workarounds.
