Developer posts and news about this game.
Last week’s challenge introduced the “Anima” mechanic - a spellcasting resource that you generate by rolling certain spells to empower others. The main new Anima spell featured was the Cue Ball spell, which just sends out a rolling projectile. This was the only spell that was nee
What have we been up to? The Feltfields After a quick touch up of the Casina Bank, we continued our marathon of designing all areas of the game with a return to the Feltfields! The Feltfields are the elevated plains where the factions of Ringbands and Purehides clash (basically j
Last week’s challenge was testing some ‘passive' spells, which provide passive buffs while equipped rather than casting when rolled. These buffs turned out to be incredibly effective, with Lucky Charm giving a significant boost to damage output, and Heart Charm acting as a single
If you missed it last fortnight, we’re going to Gamescom ! More details over on the announcement post: View game page What have we been up to? Casina City In just the past two weeks, we were able to get a whole new area - Casina City - in a fully playtestable form. This involved
Last week we tested the Loaded Roll and Hop spells which give new ways of manipulating the die’s positioning. These spells gave a surprising amount of room for optimisation to the simple task of breaking a bunch of ceramics. The best solution was this 16-move path by Grolter, usi

Last week’s challenge featured a mechanic we’ve been wanting to test out for a long time - a weapon which attaches to a die face and rotates with it. It’s a very different way of thinking about the die’s positioning and it resulted in some very brainbending solutions from our Dis
We’re finally back with our fortnightly devlog! Hopefully you’ve been enjoying the demo 🙂 If you missed it, you can find the demo here: View game page We’re making a small change to the devlog - patch notes for demo updates will now be posted here instead of in a separate post.
The Spellsided demo is now live!! Featuring the first major region of the game, built around the Cut, Shield, and Gust spells. Here, in the fallen kingdom of the dominos, you’ll face two major bosses and a variety of strange cube-brain puzzles that test your mastery of these spel
Challenge Roundup The last challenge involved Dash platforming with your choice of spells on top to switch things up. The best solution was 17 moves by Discord member Four, but my favourite is this 19-move solution by Grolter, featuring a clever use of the Counterfeit spell! What
Challenge Roundup The last challenge, ‘Dustbin’, felt like one that would be a lot more linear, but your solutions had surprising amounts of variety! The fact that the level was built around managing objects in a tight space resulted in some deeeep shape brain strategy from you f
Another one! Welcome back for our second devlog! A little late because of Easter break, hope you all had a good one! Challenge Roundup In last fortnight’s challenge we finally introduced a new spell, along with some new enemies which you folks found many ways to circumvent, resul
Dear diary, Welcome to our first fortnightly devlog! As mentioned in our announcement last month, now that we have funding we’re able to spend a bit more time on Community Engagement and that means you’ll all get a lovely letter from us every two weeks! Challenge roundup Last for

Hey folks! We’re very excited to share our first ever update for our first ever demo of our first ever game. Our focus for this update was making the experience of exploring the Domino Den more rewarding, with more detail and variety to the world you explore, and more incentive t
When we originally chose the name ‘Hexaquest’ for our little dice game, we had no idea we’d gain such an audience so quickly. The name was always a placeholder for us, so when we found out that there’s a board game of the same name that’s existed long before we even thought of ou
Hi folks! Thanks so much for all the support so far, but unfortunately, we’ve decided to cancel our Kickstarter campaign for now. We’ve been a bit too busy making our demo these past few months and we didn’t quite have time to properly hit those marketing beats to give our Kickst
