Cardbob

About

Cardbob is a roguelite action game where you play a cardboard robot scavenging sci-fi dungeons for loot. Each run involves navigating procedurally generated levels filled with enemies and traps while collecting valuable items. After each run you return to your shop to sell your finds negotiating prices with eccentric traders. Combat is fast paced requiring quick reflexes and strategic item use. Progression comes from upgrading your gear and learning dungeon layouts over multiple attempts. The mix of combat and commerce sets Cardbob apart. You need equal parts fighting skill and bargaining prowess to succeed. The whimsical cardboard aesthetic gives everything a surreal charm especially during boss battles against mechanical foes. While the core loop is straightforward the random dungeon layouts and item combinations keep things fresh. Early player feedback highlights the satisfying progression as better gear and negotiation tactics lead to higher profits.
