The Devil's Machine

# The Devil's Machine (strongly advice to play in fullscreen mode) ## 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 Sword: Attack the enemy for one damage Shield: Block one attack from the enemy Coin: Add one gold coin to your treasure Heart: Restore one health point ZZZ: 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! Cursed Sword: Make the enemy attack you for one damage Cursed Shield: Protect the enemy from one damage Cursed Heart: 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. Each of these upgrade is tied to a Wavedash achievement: try to unlock them all! ## 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. ## Leaderboard Time to face the truth: the Devil has tricked you into an endless journey! You cannot escape — you will have to die… The only question is: when? Compare your score with other players: who will survive the longest? ## Credits Code: me In-game graphics: me (except UI borders from https://elvgames.itch.io/free-inventory-asset-pack) Cover: AI-generated Audio: AI-generated
