PTR
What's a PTR?
PTR stands for the public test realm. Which is another version of the game, a sort of public beta realm for players who want to help test new features.
How do I join PTR?
Right click Tiny Rogues in your Steam Library and select "Properties". Then select "Betas" and chose the public-test-realm in the drop-down menu.
Patch Notes
I have been watching videos of and playing games "similar" to Tiny Rogues. (Shoutouts to Brotato and Neophyte) With the dice rework I want to promote a little bit of a more deterministic way to play Tiny Rogues. I feel like other games in this genre (or similar genres) often allow a lot of rerolling of rewards, rooms, shops and so on. The availability of these RNG manipulation methods makes players go into a run with a plan and then they try to execute on that plan. (for example, trying out a certain build) Tiny Rogue is and will always be really just more about going with the flow but I hope increasing dice availability will at least provide a little bit more agency. Also dice can be used to compensate for bad RNG. Finding only intelligence rewards on your strength build? Try Red Dice!
New features
- Access the Dice Bag in the inventory to use dice.
- Reworked dice. They aren't consumable items anymore but now stored in the dice bag.
- The reward that granted a singular dice now grants multiple dice.
- Red Dice can now reroll the tavern, event rooms, shops, armories, blacksmiths and other special rooms. (Important: these special rooms are not part of the room reward table, so if you reroll one you can not roll into another special room.)
Class Changes

- Wizard passive ability slightly nerfed.
- Song Of Focus of Bard got buffed.
Other Balance Changes
- Static Blows base damage and scaling changed.
