"Shia and the Mini Tentacle Dungeon!" combines whimsical magic battles with unpredictable dice-driven chaos. As Shia, a star mage armed with celestial spells, players delve into a tentacle-infested dungeon to dismantle a cult’s core. With TRPG-inspired combat, randomized luck checks, and fragile equipment mechanics, every roll risks triumph or disaster in this bite-sized roguelike adventure.
Dice-Driven Combat & Fragile Gear
1. TRPG-Style Battle System – Roll dice to determine attack success, spell potency, and critical hits. Shatter enemy tentacles with "Starburst Barrages" or risk self-damage with unstable magic.
2. Repairable Equipment – Weapons and armor degrade during combat but can be repaired using collected stars. Balance offense and durability to survive repeated encounters.
3. Randomized Enemy Weaknesses – Tentacle types vary per run—some melt under fire spells, while others regenerate unless sealed with star-forged chains. Adapt strategies on the fly.
Exploration & Unpredictable Events
1. Procedurally Generated Layouts – No two dungeon runs are alike. Discover hidden alcoves with power-ups or traps like adhesive tentacle webs that immobilize gear.
2. Event Roulette System – Dice rolls trigger random encounters: negotiate with a sentient tentacle for loot, or face a "Tentacle Tsunami" that wipes your progress. Luck decides survival.
3. Time-Limited Objectives – Race against a crumbling dungeon timer to reach the core. Detours for star collection may delay progress but unlock rare spells.
Whimsical Aesthetic & Collectible Lore
1. Charming Pixel Art Style – Mixes retro aesthetics with tentacle-themed humor. Unlock variant CGs showcasing Shia’s exasperation or triumph after each run.
2. Hidden Cult Secrets – Find scattered lore fragments about the "Flying Tentacle Sect." Speculate on their bizarre rituals through post-run journal entries.
3. Mild Collectibility – Complete all 10 CGs (including tentacle close-ups and victory poses) to unlock a "Tentacle Trifecta" badge for leaderboards.
