This is how Shufflepuck Café haunted me as a kid. It's Poker Dice where you can craft new dice with special faces. Could use a different scoring method, matches are too long before the roguelite kicks in then it's suddenly overpowered. Tons of potential and art style was nailed!

Your deck is your army, you drop them in the left column, then each turn they attack (Balatro score style), move right and increase damage. If they reach the end, they permanently die. There's so many layers of planning, I'd almost say it's over-designed, yet I want more!

A cute roguelite card battler, except you don't need to keep reading your cards; it's just 5 dice with the same 6 abilities each! As you upgrade them (+ 3 perks), the way each ability interacts with one another becomes super varied fast. Probably won't scale, but it's fun short games.

I'd describe this game as Balatro if the poker gameplay was just pulling a lever and sometimes pressing a button, but that's underselling it. The whole game IS the metagame: how you spend your coins & tickets and how you stack your luck.

Tickles my brain the same way Source surf levels and Tiny Wings did! The procedural generation is great, though I'm not sure how much variety the full game will have if it's relying on clutter to keep it hard. Maybe more depth by adding tricks and combos? Either way I'm sold!

I've never played Vampire Survivors but now I get it. The fact that this game is in 3D and uses verticality adds a lot and doesn't feel like a clone. There's tons of variety even just in the 1 level demo.
Also opening chests feels super satisfying.

Picross + customising your house like Animal Crossing. Nothing particularly new but it's a perfect mix of these concepts, it does both extremely well and it's as polished as a Nintendo game. Both my gf and I spent hours on the demo!

Beatmania but it taps into what your lizard brain wants to do when you play a chart that's too hard.
When it's overwhelming, you only care about held notes and button mash the rest. When it gets easy, spam keys on purpose to keep your multiplier.
It's actually brillant.
