yes, i did make another game in defold!

**Break the Forest: Roguelike**

* * *

### About the game

**Genre:** Card Roguelike / Deckbuilder / Survival  
**Platform:** Android (Google Play Store)  
**Status:** Released

**Link:** [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.breaktheforest.cardroguelike](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.breaktheforest.cardroguelike)

A card-based roguelike where you must survive a dangerous journey through a cursed forest, managing your deck, resources, and decisions to escape.

* * *

### Core idea

survive long enough to escape the forest.

You build a deck, face enemies, and make risky decisions along the way. Every run is different, and every choice matters.

There’s also a survival layer with a separate dedicated deck, each day consumes resources like food and water, so you need to balance combat strength with staying alive.

* * *

### Why I made this

After working on more action-heavy projects, I wanted to try something slower and more strategic, card based and turn based.

I’ve always enjoyed roguelike deckbuilders, especially the tension between risk and reward, and I wanted to explore that feeling in a simpler, mobile-friendly format.

Also, I wanted to experiment with combining:

- deckbuilding

- survival/resource management

- branching decisions

into a single loop.

### Fun Fact

The entire game is defold GUIs, there is not even a single factory, i relied HEAVILY on druid and widgets to modularize each bit of the game that was re-used.

* * *

### Feedback & playtesting

I’d really love feedback on:

- Game balance (too hard? too easy?)

- Clarity of mechanics

- Overall progression feel

Any thoughts, suggestions, or questions are very welcome!
