Cats & Dice demo release!

Cats & Dice (demo)
A downloadable game for Windows

Hello! This is a new game I'm currently working on - Cats & Dice, a dice deckbuilding roguelike all about getting the right synergies to pull off crazy combos and attain as high a score as you possibly can.

It's primarily inspired by Balatro, and also a little by Slice & Dice (the aspect where you can customize your dice, not the combat, as there's none). 

The Cats (maneki-neko) are the mainstay of the game. Every Cat has its own passive ability that can affect how you approach a run. All Cats generate a dice unique to them at the start of each round. There is no additional drawing of dice from your draw-pile and the like. These dice are then played to get a score. Reach the target score and you'll win the round.

The dice play as important a role as your Cats. You can get bonus points out of specific combination of dice. There's a number of rerolls per round you can use to reroll specific dice until you attain the desired outcome. Some dice can also have special effects that help in various ways, from adding scoring multiplier to gaining more rerolls.

Try out the demo and let me know what you think. If you like what you see, a wishlist on STEAM will help immensely! :)
