I love cozy block puzzles and I love roguelike deckbuilders, so I smashed them together: place pieces on an 8x8 board, clear lines, hit each floor's target score — but your board carries over between floors, and death is always three mistakes away.
What's inside:
• 30 floors, 6 bosses — each with its own skill (one petrifies your board, one eats your pieces, one seals your relics...)
• 36 relics across 3 rarities, 8 relic slots — sell, swap, build your engine
• Fever mode, crystals, coins, a shop every 3 floors
• Every hand is guaranteed solvable — deadlocks can only come from your own placement mistakes, never from the dealer
• The whole game is one hand-written HTML file: no engine, no build step, 33KB zipped. Runs instantly.
Balance was tuned by a greedy-bot simulator playing thousands of runs (current bot win rate: ~49%). I'd love to know how humans compare — there's a "Copy run report" button on the game-over screen, paste yours in the comments and I'll tune the curve with real data.
