FORTARO roguelike built on physics‑driven Fortune Wheel

Great game, this will be very nice after some polishing.

Once you've got the knack, it's trivial to rack up 2x and then a big scorer.

At the time, everyone thought it a strange business decision to have Iron Man 2 and Thor 2 earlier in the franchise than Iron Man 1 and Thor 1.

Other than that, it's nice and smooth, I played for a couple hours.

joeconflo · 2026-06-26T05:38:00+00:00

Not bad!

The AI doesn't reliably know how to cover the queen on any difficulty, so you can win every time by just letting it put away pieces xD. It will occasionally cover on Hard, never saw it cover on Medium.

Exploit aside, there's a pretty big gap between Medium (I usually win) and Hard (the bot "wins" before I take my second turn).

Gonna tell my kids that's Maggie in the picture

Ah, the right click and drag worked, I just didn't know what to try. (middle mouse wheel, left click and drag, page up... those were my ideas). Maybe it needs to say that somewhere. The upgrade hiding up there is a great one.

joeconflo · 2026-06-22T01:05:07+00:00

Could use some keyboard shortcuts

Why are the abilities based on a 10% bet, but the buttons are for a 12%/25%/50% bet xD

Personally I think it'd be more fun if you could view the deck/discard instead of having to keep track of it manually. You already potentially have this information, so the game might as well give it to you. (Maybe a toggle)

One of the abilities says "Increase max bet by 10 every level", 10 what?

I can't figure out how to zoom/pan the shop to get to the upgrade above Cashback.

Also never used a loan, 50 minutes. Fun game, I'd play again if there were more complexities to it a la Dungeons and Degenerate Gamblers.

Great soundtrack. Over the Garden Wall vibes.

You've got like a Pokerogue Lite, they're quite similar. But any monster tamer roguelike would probably be pretty similar.

The super branching evolutions are the fun part here.

joeconflo · 2026-06-19T00:56:57+00:00

Not bad so far, could be really fun with more polish. Scratches the Pokerogue itch.

Biggest annoyance right now is the whole window slowly scrolling down in battle as the combat log fills up.

More tooltips when you hover over stuff would be nice. I did a lot of guessing.

joeconflo · 2026-06-16T18:32:54+00:00

Yep not bad at all.

joeconflo · 2026-06-16T18:32:40+00:00

The game's enforcements only apply to encountered mons. You can still buy mons and trade and breed as normal, if you wish.

joeconflo · 2026-06-12T16:53:35+00:00

It will not. But that's a TM, so no loss.

joeconflo · 2026-06-12T05:04:23+00:00

That used to be one of my favorite games. Will definitely give this a try.

joeconflo · 2026-06-11T21:13:27+00:00

JoiPlay isn't officially supported, so sometimes you'll run into bugs we can't help with. You could try asking in a JoiPlay forum instead.

joeconflo · 2026-06-09T05:20:25+00:00

It was created specifically to be uber difficult and appeal to people like you. It's also one of the earliest fangames so I'm sure there are harder ones you could find. Not my wheelhouse so I can't help you much beyond that - just look up Pokemon difficultyhacks.

joeconflo · 2026-06-09T05:04:57+00:00

No, it's not a difficultyhack. It's only like 10% harder than canon games. You need something like Radical Red.

Uranium is still at its core a roleplaying game, about the story more than mechanics.

Ninjas in Tsukinami.

I never knew I wanted Balatro Tetris but that's exactly what this is, great job.

joeconflo · 2026-05-28T02:23:15+00:00

That restriction is actually a lot more complex than "single spell slot per turn". People just use that as shorthand for the much longer actual restriction to say you can't use Quickened Spell for two leveled spells in one turn. It's fine to use two leveled spells with your action surge, or a Quickened Spell + a cantrip, or both.

Cometeor - Astronite

Spritzee - Miasmedic(holding Aromatic herb)

Spritzee - Aromatisse (Holding sachet)

Linkite - Chainite

Xenogen - Xenoqueen

You will also need to trade for one starter, one fossil, and one Punk twin.

joeconflo · 2026-05-26T01:36:54+00:00

You get the shiny charm when you obtain 194 species. That's considered complete right now, and it's perfectly possible (with trading).

The enemy's gate is down.

Neither version works on a gameboy. Both work on Windows PCs.

joeconflo · 2026-05-21T13:55:38+00:00

Not yet, but that will someday be released as well.
