Scoundrel For The Playdate

A roguelike card battler where every choice counts.

Equip weapons, fight monsters, and heal your way to victory—or perish trying. 

How to Play

• Gameplay: Each room presents four cards, but you can only interact with three before moving on.
• Combat: Choose between attacking with weapons or fighting bare-handed for direct damage.
• Weapons: Absorb damage based on weapon level, weapons can only attack monsters lower than the last attacked monster.
• Healing: Health potions heal you, but only once per room. Drinking another potion has no effect. Heal wisely.
• Running: Use the crank to escape—but not twice in a row! Fled cards return later.
• Survival: Make it through every room to claim victory, or fall to the dungeon’s horrors.

Controls

• D-Pad: Move between cards
• A: Select / Attack with Weapon
• B: Attack bare-handed
• Crank: Run from the room

Do you have what it takes to outwit the dungeon and survive?
