Busted - Deal or Die

Busted is a 2d roguelike dungeon crawler based on blackjack mechanics. Explore different chambers, equip special abilities and use unique cards to your advantage as you descend further into the unknown. Combine special cards to form optimal hands as you face different dealers across every dungeon. Every run is shaped by powerful one-round cards and dungeon effects that change how Blackjack is played. - Multiply rewards, save lives, or guarantee perfect draws - Trade health for coins of safety for power - Break the rules and manipulate the game to your advantage These cards dont carry over - each one is a high impact decision that can turn a losing round into a winning one, or end a run instantly if misused. Abilities give you direct control over the dealer and the deck. Spend coins to unlock tactical options that influence draws, outcomes and survivability. They arnt mandatory, but using them intelligently can push a run far beyond what pure luck allows. - Freeze the dealer and alter their behaviour - Strike the dealer by discarding their cards and replacing them with negative counterparts - Optimise your deck to survive increasingly hostile encounters With 20+ abilities planned for release, players must careful balance risk, coins and timing. At its core, this is still Blackjack - but every hand carries weight You'll play familiar hands while adapting to dungeon rules, special cards and rising pressure. A single card can shift the outcome entirely, turning a safe play into a risky gamble or saying you from an inevitable bust Its not about memorising strategy. Its about reading the situation and knowing when to stop! After each dungeon, you choose where to go next. Different paths lead to different dealers, modifiers, rewards, and risks. Some routes offer safety and stability, while others promise large amount of coins at a cost. Theres no "correct path" - only the one you think you can survive. Choose carefully, the dungeon wont forgive mistakes...
