Five-dice poker turned roguelike climb, your dice are your character sheet, and you reforge them between floors to keep ascending.

How to play
Each floor is a six-slot scorecard with a target score. Roll five dice, lock the ones you like, reroll up to twice, then bank the result into a category to end the turn. Beat the floor's target to climb; fall short and the run ends.
Hold the dice you want to keep, then reroll the rest to chase a better combination.
Bank your roll into an open category, each slot can only be used once per floor.
Clear a floor to draft one forge upgrade: load a face, gild a die for double pips, or make one wild.
Targets rise quickly with each floor, so your forged dice have to outpace them.
Controls
Desktop: click a die to hold or release it, click reroll, and click a scorecard row to bank.
Phone & tablet: tap dice to hold, tap reroll, tap a category to bank, the whole game is pointer-driven.
Game modes
Daily Climb, one shared tower of the same dice and targets for everyone that day.
Endless, a fresh run with new dice and a new tower every time.
Tips & strategy
Forge weak faces early; one wild or gilded die compounds across every later floor.
Bank conservatively on easy floors and save your big categories for when the target spikes.
