The Devil's Machine

Story

You are imprisoned.

The Devil offered you a deal: a great power... at a terrible cost.

Now, every action you take is determined by a slot machine.

Will you escape his prison and reclaim your freedom?

How to Play

Your actions are determined by a slot machine.  

After a spin, 9 symbols (3 columns, 3 lines) are visible: only symbols on active lines are effective.

If you align three symbols of the same type, the effect is doubled.

Basic symbols

Attack the enemy for one damage  

Block one attack from the enemy  

Add one gold coin to your treasure  

Restore one health point  

 Do nothing!

Cursed symbols

The Devil can offer you some deals, but some require you to corrupt your machine...  

Some enemies can also curse you!

 Make the enemy attack you for one damage

 Protect the enemy from one damage

Heal the enemy

It says other symbols exist... Will you find them?

Spinning costs health, so every decision matters.

But you are not completely powerless.

You can:

- Modify your machine by adding or removing symbols

- Make deals to influence future outcomes

Master the balance between risk and control!

Permanent bonus

The Devil lets you keep some of your gold after each death. Use it to buy powerful upgrades and grow stronger with every run.

Enemies

Each enemy has unique behaviors and powers:

Rats

Attack without special effects.

Blob

Each turn, glue one of your machine symbols to make it useless until it is activated.

Skeleton

Each turn, transform the middle visible symbol into a Cursed Heart symbol.

Wizard

Each turn, add a random cursed symbol to your machine.
