Dice vs Monsters: Roguelike TD

### 1. Description

In this game, you act as a kingdom guard defending your wall from waves of fantasy monsters. Unlike traditional TD games where you place towers, your "towers" are **Idle Heroes** represented by dice. Your defense depends on the luck of the roll and the strategic synergies between the hero types you choose.

### 2. Key Features

* **Hero-Dice Hybrid:** Each hero is a die. The sides of the dice represent different attacks or spells (e.g., Mages for spells, Archers for accuracy, Necromancers for summoning).

* **Roguelike Progression:** Every run is different. On level-up, you choose from three random spells or upgrades, forcing you to adapt your strategy on the fly.

* **Idle Growth:** Progress persists through upgrades to your castle/wall and hero unlocks.

* **Artifacts & Talismans:** Collectable items that provide passive buffs, such as "Army of One" (damage boost if only one hero is present) or "Vampirizer" (heals the wall when enemies die).

* **Battle Pass & Missions:** Daily challenges to unlock new heroes like *Lootwig* (resource farmer) or *Amphibion* (debuff specialist).

### 3. How to Play

* **Starting a Run:** You begin a level by picking 1 hero from a random selection of 3.

* **The Combat Loop:** Your heroes automatically roll their dice to attack. The number on the die face determines the intensity or quantity of the attack.

* **Leveling Up:** As you kill monsters, you gain XP. Upon leveling up, you are presented with 3 random cards (Spells/Buffs). You must pick one to enhance your current run.

* **Unlocking More Heroes:** As the level progresses, you may get the chance to add more heroes to your "board," increasing your firepower but splitting your upgrade focus.

### 4. How to Win: Strategy & Tips

* **Synergy is King:** Look for spells that stack. For example, the **Mage** has "Frags" (explosions) and "Lava." If you combine them, your fire dice can cover the entire battlefield in lava, dealing massive area-of-effect (AoE) damage.

* **Prioritize Spell Upgrades:** Early game, players often ignore spell leveling. Don't. Upgraded spells change the tide of battle more than raw stat increases.

* **Balance the Wall:** Don't just focus on damage. Invest in **Regen** and **Health** for your wall using coins. This gives you a buffer for when fast enemies or bosses leak through.

* **Targeted Hero Picks:** If you are struggling with swarms, look for the **Oozifier** (summons slimes) or **Knight** (push-back/shield mechanics). If you need raw boss damage, the **Archer** with poison/bleed is more effective.

* **The "Ad" Strategy:** The game offers "ad rewards" to take all 3 spell choices instead of just 1. While tedious, doing this early in a difficult run can make you exponentially more powerful.
