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! 💪🐸

YES!!! FLOOR 36 BABY!!!!

first win :]
i've been playing for a while yahoo

got this on my second run REALLY GREAT GAME!

(1 edit)

there are, in fact, die, in the dungeon

10/10 gameplay

GREAT GAME.

Super cool! I made it to floor 13 and then got wrecked lol

great game, had fun!

Cool game, i like it. I died with a die in my hands

My only complaint is that it says dice for singular; IT IS DIE

Dice is both the alternative singular spelling form and plural form of a die.

It isn't a big deal

the awesome power of a grow & heavy terrain die

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAUM This is fun and har at the same time. i look forword to the steam lanch.

GREAT GAME

GREAT GAME

Like genuinely this game is probably one of the best "free" games I have ever played and I do mean that. Great graphics and a developing story that we don't know anything about but still amaze us? Masterful and admirable, i'm excited to see where this project goes.

FIRE GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

My dear sir/ma'am, i would like to inform you that your game is quite silly and entertaining - In my words, i very much like the content of the game. I also love the frog main character, I am a very big fan of frogs.

I wish you a good day

(+1)

the roly poly took my gold mirror hollow die right before the queen bee but i still beat her  >:)

very cute game. nice mechanics!

...wow

Good job man, are you too gunning for 100?

Very fun and strategic game. I loved it! 

(+1)

got floor 88, roly poly encounter halved my hp and then I just died due to lack of enough block. Hate RNG.

Will keep on trying for 100.

I'll keep you updated.

(+2)

Love Love Love this type of deck builder! And that frog is too cut

i died to the queen brr not to long after this omfg

(+1)

wtf im only on floor 10 and theres this fuckin fly that keeps rehealing every single time i kill him to 0 hp

I LOOKED AT IT AND I WAS LIKE...                                                                                                      ADORBALEE

FUCK you QUEEN BEE):<<<<<

I was able to get over 50hp and I died by a strike of 9,999 because he was just angry

Chill and relaxing, can keep you playing for hours. loved the experience.

Did you read what honey die do?

what do mirror dice do

It mirror's dice 4 places from it.

It's really good because you can do crazy damage with it

nice, just wish i knew what i was doing

(+3)

Maybe runner up world record?

Strategy was simple: mirror defensive dices until you max life and shield, then mirror damage. Would have reached beyond if the 2 archer 1 wasp combo haven't appeared on 66. No idea how to deal with 150 damage on turn one


As the other guy said, not over until reach floor 100

(+1)

I am honored to find someone that managed to challenge my spot as world record.

however, I'd like to tell you what are the die you are looking for to get the "theoretical best".

1 hollow gold mirror die

1 hollow gold boost die

1 glass "all-6" terrain die

1 eternal and grow attack die

3 hollow and grow block and heal die

And good luck on your runs. We'll all need it.

Awesome game, only gotten to floor 25 once and still have the last unlockable to get, but I'm loving this so far.

reached floor 39 then it gliched out also why cant we keep our due dice like we can with other dice we unlock?

What kind of glitch?

Also, can you please reformulate your question, I don't get what you are asking.

i meant duo dice, the ones you unlock that are both attack and block for example, when the play through is finished we don't receive them as part of the dice we can collect unlike eternal or area dice

also the glitch was i was given a new die but i had maxed out my collection and the game just wouldn't progress and i had to restart the whole game

Oh! I call them spider-dice or fusion dice. And you can't collect them because they are always unlocked, just in the spider event. This is to make sure that the game still is balanced, lore-wise it might just be that this kind of die can only be acquired by a god-like being like the spider.

And as for the glitch, I have no idea, mainly because I only play with 5 die MAX. And I'd have to say that maybe it is a bug about you obtaining H a die when you weren't supposed to.  How did you get the final die?

(1 edit)

Love it, great game, I suck so its kinda hard though


Edit: AAAAAAAAAAAAA I DIED TO THE QUEEN BEE AASDFGBVCDFGTHYJN VFGHYJNB V

(1 edit)

my goodness

is that a frog

*froggy boots*

wait

nm

he dissed me

Is there any way to increase the number of dice play per turn ? just 3 is a hindrance

yes, the "hollow" property makes a die not use up one of your energies when played.

(+2)

I finally got world record for highest floor.

I'll put a detailed explanation of way those dices as a reply so that anyone can try it.

To my knowledge the previous record was floor 56 or the beginning of phase 7 into endless mode.

I had reached floor 51 thrice and after the second I quit the game for a year out of frustration.

Coming back I played three runs, the first is the third floor 51 death. The Second broke the world record: floor 64 or late phase 8 into endless mode.

The third run came right after as a celebration to the world record however it went way further ahead than I could imagine:


Floor 91, or the beginning of phase 14, doubling the phase number, and I could have gone further, but I was too greedy and failed to see a mortal treat from an opponent, so I perished.

IT IS NOT OVER HERE, I WILL TRY TO REACH FLOOR 100, wish me luck

(+1)

The dice combinations I used vary from one run to another but generally follow a simple set of rules that make this achievement possible:

- Mirror + Boost

- Defense is the best offense

- The deterministic strategy

- Grow and hollow

- block & heal


The first rule is simple, always have a perma-mirror or a mirror die with all sides equal to 4 and the hollow property, that is a die that substantially a times 2 to whatever is opposite to it. And always have a boost die to work with it, because of geometry a boost die with only 2s and 3s will add 6 to whatever the mirror is duplicating if you play your dice correctly.

The second rule is a double, your dice that aren't support (terrain, mirror, boost) should all be focussed on Heal / Block, apart for one singular die. That must be able to hypothetically win every encounter if given enough time, so if it has the "area" or the "grow" effect it is more than enough, otherwise a "The Holy" is a good weapon to have.

The deterministic Strategy is a vague rule to say the least, the thing is, the less luck there is in your rolls, the more consistent results you'll get, which is very important if you are testing your luck of a roll multiple times per encounter per floor. With each new undetermined variable the chances of making it far become more and more slim. Because of that it is better to avoid having more than 5 dice in your bag at the start of an encounter as there will be a world in which you will roll bad dice that don't help you survive.

Grow and hollow is a lesson everybody knows, spam grow and hollow on all the dice you have, make sure to always be able to play 5 dice in one turn and make sure that your strength that keeps increasing with time.

Finally we have the "Block & Heal", this isn't a strategy, it's  a must to survive in the late levels, you need to find the "menacing spider" encounter and need to get a "block and heal die", without it you are basically guaranteed not to pass floor 50 or even sooner.

The best possible scenario would be to have 2 "Gold grow and hollow Block and Heal die", and if you look into the photo of the world record you'll see that I only needed the "grow" option on the second one and I would have been complete, until there I had been using a "Gold grow and hollow Block die", which is significantly worst than the die I was aiming for.


AS A SIDE NOTE, in my world record run it might look like I broke two rules: The deterministic strategy and the "grow and hollow", as I have a sixth die that is the "gold glass Terrain die", however that isn't a problem for the deterministic strategy for my intention is to play it as soon as possible to get a power boost in my defensive dice and after that never touch it again (The glass was intentionally put on that die for this specific reason.) And because of the glass property the "grow" property isn't applicable and the "hollow" property would be wasted on that die.


If you need more explanation just ask me, I'll always be happy to help.

Good job, and gl hitting your 100 floor goal!

(+1)

I have a strategy to now try and achieve the die load-out of the world-record run, however it requires resetting and beating the game thrice before being possible.

HOWEVER I WON'T GIVE UP HOPE, I WILL DO IT.

I'll keep you updated.

I am enjoying this game A LOT!
Random idea, different shaped boards, and an enemy that will shake the boards so if you have any Heavy or Eternal dice on it, it'll move them to a random area.

Greate game!

what should we name the frog or does it have a name?
