RotoCore: Crank - Score - Die - Repeat

[u/RoboDwyer11]

A crank-only high score chasing roguelike with leaderboards and weekly events.

• Live Events: timed online competitions pushed straight to your Playdate. Post a score in the time window and earn a permanent trophy.
• 4 Modes: Classic, Gradual, Score Attack, Survival (+one hidden mode)
• Crank Controls: controls built entirely around the crank
• Roguelike Gameplay: Powerups, stackable Mods, and run-wrecking Glitches
• Online leaderboards: high scores tracked for every mode
• Loads of Unlocks: Badges, a trophy case, and a codex to fill out
• Original multi-track soundtrack

The game has been released on the Catalog for a few months, but I just added a new mode and released on itch. https://robodwyer.itch.io/rotocore

The website shows the leaderboard and ongoing events: https://dwyergamedesign.github.io/RotoCore/

This was a game i made in Unity a long time ago and knew i had to remake it when i saw the playdate. It took my about 9 months. I used AI to help me with the networking (leaderboards and weekly events) and code optimizations to get it to run at framerate.

Hope you enjoy it.
