Dice Deluge

Coming August 18, 2026 exclusively to Playdate!

Description

Can you survive the Dice Delugeβ„’? Roll, match, and score sets of dice before time runs out!

Dice Deluge is a fast-paced puzzle game designed exclusively for the Playdate console, blending strategy and chance. Will you go for larger sets of matching dice, or quickly score many smaller sets? As the levels progress, the required number of sets increases, and the time limit decreases, challenging you to think quickly!

Local high scores are saved. Can you beat your previous best? Just one more game... and another, and another! Dinner can wait!

The controls are intuitive and accessible, utilizing the D-pad, A and B buttons, and the crank. An alternate control mode is available that does not require the crank.
