The Spellsided demo is now live!!
Featuring the first major region of the game, built around the Cut, Shield, and Gust spells. Here, in the fallen kingdom of the dominos, you’ll face two major bosses and a variety of strange cube-brain puzzles that test your mastery of these spells.
This demo is a huge improvement from our first prototype we released a couple years ago. We have a lot of people to thank for that, and we’re incredibly grateful for every opportunity we’ve had to do justice to the many possibilities the premise of this game has offered us. But the most important people to thank is those who’ve shared our undying curiosity for what we can do with this silly little dice game. This is a huge day for cubes everywhere 🎲
From here, we’ll keep releasing new challenge levels and devlogs every fortnight as we continue tinkering with new silly mechanics to share :))
You can share your thoughts and feedback and crazy ideas for the game either on the Steam forums or on our Discord server at discord.gg/spellsided

The Feltfields After a quick touch up of the Casina Bank, we continued our marathon of designing all areas of the game with a return to the Feltfields! The Feltfields are the elevated plains where the factions of Ringbands and Purehides clash (basically just a pool table populated with striped and solid-colour pool balls). So we’ve been having a lot of fun designing a b…Challenge Roundup - Rotating #5: CloversLast week’s challenge was testing some ‘passive' spells, which provide passive buffs while equipped rather than casting when rolled. These buffs turned out to be incredibly effective, with Lucky Charm giving a significant boost to damage output, and Heart Charm acting as a single-use Shield with no positioning requirements. The Ace of Clubs enemies served as predictable ‘dummies’ to work agains…
