About this game
A roguelike deckbuilder without heavy RNG? Yes!
Dominova is no gambling simulator. The way you place your dominoes will determine most of your success. Building your deck, learning and mastering each domino type, choosing the correct upgrades will gain you massive advantages that will have a way bigger impact on the outcome of your run.
Explore the board
The more dominoes you place, the more the board expands, presenting new challenges and rewards. Depending on the obstacle you'll need to choose the right domino. Remove rocks with a hammer domino. Destroy ice with a fire domino. Protect your dominoes against a bomb with a shield domino. Collect rewards with the magnet domino.
Score points
The longer the domino chain, the higher you score. Not enough points? Then it's game over. Falling meteors will fill the board with new obstacles trying to break the domino chain. It is up to you to make sure you remain in control of the board, by either defending your dominoes or by removing obstacles.
Buy Nova cards
The success of your run is highly determined by buying Nova Cards. These cards can create powerful effects or score bonuses when you meet their requirements. When you match the correct Nova Cards with the right dominoes, crazy synergies will happen.
Defeat the Nova-Animals
There are 40 Nova-Animals that can hinder your progress. They all have their own ability that will put your deck and strategy to the test.
Features:
10 decks with each their own characteristics and difficulty ascension system
160+ nova cards that will determine the outcome of your run
26 upgradable domino pieces
40 bosses that will challenge your strategy
Every completed or failed run improves your build
Leaderboards to compare your score against other players
Endless mode

So if you want a cheaper game make sure you buy it fast when it releases. :) The demo version is now a shorter sample of the full game. I am planning to keep this demo up after release.That’s all, have a nice day! :)Read full article on Community Announcements (GlennVerheij)AnnouncementsOfficial
Release date + Pricing Announcement
Thanks to everyone who tried out the Dominova demo and / or wishlisted the game! It was great to see so many of you enjoy the demo!If you haven’t already, please drop a review on the demo page or fill in the feedback form, I always appreciate it when people let me know what they think. :)https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd-MRGTASLC4lJG-CGJQOaDcPLUIWMu5odASr0kG5uzGJUfwA/viewform?usp=headerDominova will release on November 19th, 18:00 CET. This is a full release, no early access. All systems are in place. Everything works as intended, small balancing issues aside. Dominova took me 11 months to make, which I think is a great development cycle for a strategy game. Please do be aware I am a solo dev so on the super rare chance I missed something important, the release date might change. I really don’t think this will happen but you never know.The pricing range will be between $9.99 and $14.99, which is a comfortable pricing spot for a roguelike deckbuilder. With the launch discount it will certainly be on the lower side of this range. Make sure you wishlist the game so you’ll get notified when the game releases.Again thanks for your support and I hope you are looking forward to the release. :)Also, the demo will probably stay playable even after release, though in a more compact shorter version.Read full article on Community Announcements (GlennVerheij)AnnouncementsOfficial

Steam Deck + Controller Support
Hello everyone,It was time to implement Steam Deck and controller support. It's not perfect, but it gets the job done. Now you can play Dominova while bedrotting.Make sure you go to the Dominova settings > Properties > compatibility and enable Proton.You can move the cursor with the control stick. Select and place dominoes with the A button (south button).Rotate and remove dominoes with the B button (eastern button).You can adjust the control stick sensitivity in the settings. No rebinding (yet, I don't know, it's kind of tricky to do with localization)The game should be completely playable on Steam Deck. I also made some UI tweaks to make sure everything is readable.If you play the game on Steam Deck I'd love to hear your feedback. I don't have a Steam Deck myself so it's hard to check if everything works as it should.Thanks for playing and have a nice day! GlennRead full article on Community Announcements (GlennVerheij)
