Hello everyone!
The wait is over, Endless Mode is finally here! This update brings a ton of new content to the game, so let’s jump straight into it:
♾️ Endless Mode: new rewards, new dice, new curses!
This new mode is accessible from the title screen (you’ll need to complete a few runs first to unlock it!). Once you start, your goal is simple: reach the highest floor possible!
Endless Mode is split into loops. Every time you reach the final area, you’ll return to Area 1, but enemies will get considerably stronger! That’s not all: a set of Endless-exclusive curses will make even the strongest builds vulnerable. Pick your poison wisely, and keep an eye out for special events where curses can be removed!
🎲 A Powerful Ally: Multitype Dice!
But not all is bad news for our amphibian heroes, a new type of die awaits once you push far enough into Endless Mode: multitype dice! These dice feature two types at the same time, letting you trigger two abilities with a single use. Of course, you can still boost them, mirror them, upgrade them, basically everything you can do with regular dice. But now you’ll get double the power in one roll!
Multitype dice come in several varieties, so we’ll let you discover them for yourself. If you find one that feels especially rare, share it with us in the comments!
🛡️ Meet the Elite: Beetball, the Walking Fortress!
A new elite enemy has rolled into the dungeon: Beetball! Alongside Red Hood, this is part of the first wave of elites that will appear in both regular and Endless runs.
Like regular Bigtles, Beetball’s abilities revolve around block values... but with a twist. If you ever stack more block than him, he can power up even further! Be cautious with your Block Dice, or you might trigger a punishing counterattack.

🤔 What's Coming Next?
For those of you who missed our latest post, here's a recap of some of the content that's coming to the game in the future:
🎮 Controller support. We’re ironing out the last few bugs and plan to move it from beta to the main branch soon (including Steam Deck improvements!).
⚠️ New Events. Many events are getting a full rework. Expect better rewards, more meaningful choices, and maybe even the return of dice rolls (like in Origins!).
📜 Bestiary & Lore. The missing Codex section is coming! Learn about all the dungeon's weird inhabitants, and uncover more about Cinder, Lisver, Mango, and the world around the dungeon.
🐉 More Elite Enemies. Red Hood's just the beginning. New elite enemies will appear across all areas. Rumors even mention a Dragonfly nest somewhere down there...
🗝️ Secrets! What's a roguelike without a few hidden paths here and there? We don't want to spoil anything just yet, but traversing the dungeon will definitely get more interesting once you start to uncover the many hidden passages and shortcuts it contains.
Also, we worked overnight to investigate that mysterious frog sighting for last time, at it seems like we finally got a closer look! Let's see…
Wait, that's… a bit too close, isn't it?
