MataOno

From the Devs

MataOno is a chaotic dice roguelike about building combos that spiral wildly out of control. Turn a simple Die with Numbered Faces 1-6 into a tool that scores you infinity (and yes, that's possible).

In MataOno, you get to completely build your Dice manually.

Every Die has six Frames (slots for Faces) you fill however you like. Numbered Faces set the raw values you roll and score, while Ability Faces each have their own unique power. Underneath it all sits a Base that changes how the entire Die behaves, bending the odds in your favor.

Mix, match, and rebuild until your Dice do exactly what your combo needs.

This is where your build clicks.

Items are your engine. Each one has a unique effect, feeding each other in a potentially overpowered chain. Stack the right pieces and a single roll erupts into a cascade, shooting your multiplier to the skies.

Big numbers come at a price.

Overperform and you build Pressure, the natural multiplier that rewards crushing a goal. But push too hard and Heat creeps up, and if it ever hits its limit, your run is over. When a roll lands just short, Tilting lets you nudge a Die, a precise, deliberate gamble that can rescue a round if used at the right moment.

During runs, you must constantly choose between greed and survival when managing your resources.

No two runs play out the same.

Between rounds, you'll spend your coins to improve your run across seven escalating Areas. The Stock Shop offers a clean pick of Items, Dice parts, and more, while the Mixed Shop is a gamble in itself, packed with crates, boosters, and risky chances at something that may just push you past the finish line. Slot permanent Perks for run-long bonuses, keep consumable Catalysts in your Holster for the perfect moment, and adapt your plan around Bosses that arrive to break whatever you've built.

Goals rise fast, so your build needs to rise faster.

When you've mastered every Kit, unlock the Randomness mode.

Randomness rebuilds MataOno from scratch every run. Every Item, Face, Base, Perk, Catalyst, and Boss ability is generated randomly on the spot, drawing from hundreds of millions of possible combinations. Anything can happen.
