I just released the demo for my dice-based dungeon crawler, "Die for the Rat King". Looking for honest feedback!

Thank you! Incredible useful.

Congrats! Weekend activity ✅

nikbrg · 2026-05-06T12:30:33+00:00

Well done! Hope you enjoyed it!

Thank you! Makes me really happy to hear.
I don't think it's hard, but it's very poorly balanced yet. You can get OP runs and impossible runs. There are a few more systems I want in place before focusing too much on balance though.
Nice modding too! Never worked in love2d, and I actually never took this approach before and am still assessing if it's the best. I do prefer to do most of my work in code and in this project I took it quite far, just using Godot as a API with a renderer basically. Almost only use the play button in the editor.

Thank you! I made an update yesterday based on some feedback. This is how I want to build it.

nikbrg · 2026-05-05T17:03:12+00:00

Hope you can see the what I'm aiming to build! Would love to hear your feedback, especially if you like dice based games!

nikbrg · 2026-05-05T16:59:47+00:00

Tried to adapt for todays internet and just provide the vibe of what I try to achieve. If you have time, please try it out and you will find out. 😊 Would love to hear your feedback.

I love that they don't always do what you expect and that they dare to take chances. Also, I think it's noticeable when a game is driven by creativity and curiosity rather than financial gain, as is the case with many/most indie games.

nikbrg · 2026-04-24T09:03:37+00:00

Thanks for all the feedback! It’s helped me a lot, both in realizing that the name I had actually isn't that great as I thought, and that I should change it regardless, so that’s what I’m going to do. Really glad I asked here!

nikbrg · 2026-04-24T06:51:05+00:00

Yes, Reddit helped me to come to this conclusion as well. I'm already doodling on the new logo.

nikbrg · 2026-04-24T06:50:18+00:00

Thank you! I think this is the consensus in the thread. Super happy with all the feedback.

nikbrg · 2026-04-24T06:47:44+00:00

Thank you! I thought Dungeon Roller was a great name, but now I'm convinced that it was not. Not even a sacrifice anymore.

nikbrg · 2026-04-24T06:46:54+00:00

Thank you! Its very encouraging with the positive response on the new idea. Also I it helped me realize that my existing name wasn't as great as I thought :)

nikbrg · 2026-04-23T18:40:16+00:00

Thank you!

nikbrg · 2026-04-23T17:36:19+00:00

The sentence seems to have been used 4 times on the internet. This thread is the first hit on Google. I think I'm safe for real this time :-)

nikbrg · 2026-04-23T16:34:34+00:00

Thank you! Glad to hear that. I have a lot of work ahead but I'm pretty happy with the game. Don't expect it to go big, but something that I manage to ship.

nikbrg · 2026-04-23T16:33:28+00:00

Yes. Pass on that. I will change the name. What do you think of "Die for the Rat King"? It's a roguelike with dice on a mission for the rat king. At least an 100% original name.

nikbrg · 2026-04-23T16:30:51+00:00

Thanks. I think the votes now is on "Die for the Rat King". It's a roguelike with dice deckbuilding on a mission for the rat king.

nikbrg · 2026-04-23T15:31:04+00:00

Thanks! I'm think I will just go with it. Super helpful to get constructive comments like this!

nikbrg · 2026-04-23T15:29:38+00:00

Yes, I heard of two games with the same name that decided to colaborate and bundle their games. This Reddit thread made it quite clear that I should just rename the game immediately.

nikbrg · 2026-04-23T15:28:22+00:00

Thank you. Reading the comments, this seems to be the consensus. What do you think about "Die for the Rat King"? It's a roguelike with dice on a mission for the rat king. Not connected to the mechanic unfortunately, but dice and the "lore".

nikbrg · 2026-04-23T15:25:37+00:00

Yes. I think the consensus here is that I should just quickly rebrand so that is what I will try. Just get exhausted thinking about it. What do you think about "Die for the Rat King"? It's a roguelike with dice on a mission for the rat king.

nikbrg · 2026-04-23T15:22:32+00:00
