Rogue Dot is a high-stakes, fast-paced roguelike arena survival game where precision movement is your only defense. Dodge relentless hazards, adapt through risky upgrades, and survive an escalating series of brutal challenges. Developed by Team Soup, this debut title places you in the role of Rogue, a specialized hacking software. Your mission: infiltrate the vault of Chaser Bank to help your creator, Jazz, strike back against a predatory economy and keep the neighborhood's lights on. The Story Jazz is a regular person pushed to the brink. Rent is skyrocketing, medical bills are rising, and Chaser Bank is profiting from the struggle. Jazz decides it’s time for a bit of “holiday cheer.” By deploying Rogue into the bank’s mainframe, you’ll drain the corporate coffers to pay off evictions and medical debts. The Gameplay In the main campaign, you navigate complex security grids within the arena while avoiding lethal anti-virus protocols. Every level is a dance with death - one hit and your connection is severed, sending you back to Level 1.

At the start of every new stage, you pick between two cards that will shape how the rest of your run plays out. Your goal: survive as the rules change around you, making every attempt unpredictable. Three Strikes: You start with three lives, giving you a bit of breathing room to take risks. At the beginning of each stage in Challenge Mode, you choose between two cards that will modify gameplay factors, setting the parameters for the next stage and keeping each run fresh.

Or will you risk a giant enemy for the chance at more power-ups?
