About this game

Forget the rules of classic Sudoku. A virus that infiltrated your computer has turned the calm puzzle game you know into a ruthless fight for survival.

VORTEX is a deck-builder roguelike where the rules change every round. Buy new cards from the shop between rounds, determine your strategy, and fight against various virus variations that sabotage your board. Your cards are dealt randomly, so you must adapt to the situation with every move. If you fail? Everything is wiped out, and you start all over again in a brand new viral chaos.

Key Features:

  • System-Crashing Viruses: Every round presents a different challenge. Deal with dozens of distinct mechanics.

  • Viral Mutations: As if the viruses weren't dangerous enough alone, they sometimes hit you in mixed combinations. Are you ready to play with disappearing numbers in the dark?

  • Dynamic Deck-Building: Strengthen your deck between rounds. Choose the right cards and create the deadliest combinations from your randomly drawn hand.

  • Ruthless Roguelike Experience: No permanent progression, no second chances. When you die, everything resets. Rely solely on your wits, strategy, and luck to push further in the next run.

  • Bizarre Rules: Sweep for hidden mines, evade the tax collector, or control a tiny character on the board to carry your cards!
