Set in the Loading... Universe... Boot up your computer, you’re a gamer trying to load into your favorite online fantasy game, but to complete the process you will have to defeat 1 of 6 unique RAID Bosses that guard the Server’s files.

A hand building, cool-down management, raid boss battle game. You will be building a hand of Asset files by purchasing them from an always shifting queue of 5 cards, using Code, Sound, Video and Bug symbols you've rolled for the turn.

Pay the cost in Load Pixels to play Asset cards from your hand that trigger various effects, like reducing the RAID Boss's health or armor. Once Asset cards are played, they will return to your hand over time as Load Pixels are removed from them.

Manage your computer's Heat Level carefully, rolling too many Bug symbols or Overheating your computer will trigger harmful effects!

Win the game when the RAID Boss's health value is 0.
Lose the game when your health value is 0.

Hi Slush! This game is full of video game developer and computer nerd references. In the computer world those are the levels or types of RAID. RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. (Hard drives)
So I use RAID in the computer sense AND the game sense ;) There's lots of little flavor details like this in the game for you to find!

Since the RAID Boss goes after each players turn and the RAID Boss has global Enrage abilities, you can play Solo with 1 character or if you want you could dual hand with 2 characters for about the same difficulty, you'll just have two sets of abilities to work with, so more tools to solve problems!

Also, whats the difference between playing by oneself and with another balance-wise? Do you just control two characters if you're by yourself?
Slushy Aug 7, 2023 @ 10:32pm 
How come they're listed as Raid 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and ?, just flavor for difficulty? Room for potential DLC/additions?

Hi Grim! Correct, re-rolling is not doable once you roll a Bug symbol! If you had rolled no bug symbols and it was your first roll, you could re-roll all your dice. If you choose not to re-roll specific dice and then re-roll others, set the unrolled dice aside as they cannot be re-rolled again this turn.
Grim Dizzlin Aug 12, 2022 @ 1:06pm 
Can you explain the re-roll rule? If I roll a dice and get 1 bug and 1 blank, can I re-roll the blank die or does the roll stop because I rolled one bug?

New update is out! Balance changes, fixes to the scripting and a new DUO party mode! RAID Bosses is now 1-2 Players!

Just wanted to let you know that the scripting seems a bit off when it comes to the speed at which it detects what boss monster and character you are using, as you can't actually get either card into their slots on the board without the script starting when they come near and locking them in weird positions, not sure if that is fixable or not

Yes that makes it quite clear. Thank you for your work.

@Brtwrst I also just updated the Rulebook and re-did the Symbol Token section. Let me know if that makes more sense over the last version!

That is super cool. Looking forward to trying that.
