Welcome to DADICO!

DADICO is a strategic, pixel-art dice autobattler with an addictive roguelike loop. Manage your shop, position your items on a beautiful wooden tabletop board, trigger arrow-based synergies, and prepare your build for victory!

đŸ“ĸ Current State & Roadmap

  • Now Available: TRAINING MODE! Practice your builds, learn the synergies, and test your strategies against the CPU. Note: Training mode does not affect your MMR.
  • Coming Soon: RANKED MODE & GLOBAL LEADERBOARD! Prepare for high-stakes, asynchronous PvP battles. Compete against real players, climb the ranks, and watch your MMR rise on a fully visible global leaderboard!

🔁 The Game Loop

  • The Goal: Go on a run and try to secure 10 Victories before you lose your 3 Lives.
  • Shop & Fight: Every round begins in the shop where you buy your tools, followed immediately by an automated battle.

🛒 The Strategic Shop

The shop scales as you progress, randomly offering everything you need to build a winning strategy:

  • Dice: Purchase D4, D6, D8, D10, and D12 dice to build your core army.
  • Vials (Fusion): Place a vial so its arrow points at a die. In the next turn, they will permanently fuse, granting the die its special effect. A single die can stack infinite effects!
  • Pearls (Modification): Just like vials, place them to point at a die. They permanently modify 1 to 4 face numbers into the number shown on the pearl.
  • Grid Expansion: Buy and place individual slots to custom-build your grid, up to a maximum of 15 slots (a 3-column by 5-row layout).

âš”ī¸ Spin-to-Win Combat

Once the battle starts, the dice spin automatically on the green felt table. Your objective is to score more points than your opponent and reduce their HP to 0.

Success depends entirely on your positioning and Arrow Synergies:

  • Matching Color (Speed Boost): When a die points its arrow(s) at another die of the same color, it accelerates its spin speed.
  • Matching Shape (HP Buff): When a die points its arrow(s) at another die of the same shape, it increases the player's maximum HP.

đŸ•šī¸ Controls & Instructions

DADICO is fully playable using only your mouse. No keyboard required! Everything relies on simple drag-and-drop mechanics.

đŸ–˛ī¸ Mouse Controls

  • Left Click + Drag: Grab any die, vial, pearl, or grid slot from the shop and place it onto your tabletop grid.
  • Rearrange: Drag and drop your existing dice to change their positions on the board and align their synergy arrows.

đŸ§Ē How to Fuse Vials & Pearls (Shop Phase)

  1. Drag the vial or pearl from the shop onto an empty slot next to a die.
  2. Position it so its arrow points directly toward the die you want to upgrade.
  3. End your turn: During the next round, the item will permanently fuse into that die, granting its unique effects or modifying its numbers!

Will you craft the ultimate fused build or get wiped out? Roll the dice and start your training run in DADICO today!
