I made High Roll Glyph - a word game that blends dice-rolling with classic crossword play

Hi there! I’m a solo dev from Melbourne, Australia and I made High Roll Glyph - a word game that blends dice-rolling with classic crossword play. Available on iOS and Android.

You roll 10 curated dice to generate your letters, lock in the ones you want and re-roll the rest. Then place letters across an 11x11 board to build words and chain score combos.

Top features:

  • No ads and no subscriptions, ever.
  • Offline-first. Can play anywhere, no connection or accounts required.
  • ~160,000 words with definitions, all shipped with the game (no internet required).
  • Intuitive one-handed controls, haptics and wholesome sound-effects.
  • Highly optimised. Loads quick and feels snappy.
  • Standard game mode is completely free, and you can play as much as you like.
  • Full set of features and game modes (both current and future) you only pay for once.
  • Built-in word-reporting so you can help contribute to the dictionary.
  • Completely anonymous diagnostic and event-based tracking only, and you can opt-out.
  • Full game history log.

Full game includes:

  • A free, full game gift code for a friend.
  • 40+ unique challenge levels with score targets and rewards.
  • 27 individually tracked player stats for all game-modes, each with online leaderboards (highest score, best first turn, best score under 5 minutes etc.). Can also opt-out.
  • Daily and weekly streaks.
  • Access to every future feature, and yours forever. Even if you get a new device.

Roadmap

  • Currently working on multiplayer, weekly leaderboards, quests, hardcore mode and more challenge levels - all included if you buy the full game at any time.
  • Nurture my budding Discord community.

I welcome you to give it a go, even if you’re not into word games. This is my first game and I’m really proud of it.

[DEV] High Roll Glyph - a chill solitare word game where you roll letter dice and build crosswords. Free to play, full game one-time purchase, no ads ever, no sign-in, offline support

Hey y'all - sorry for the wordy title, but there's things in there I'm passionate about.

I'm a solo dev and this is my first game! It's live now on the app store.

You roll a custom set of dice with letters on them, lock in the letters you want, and place words crossword-style on the board. It's great blend of strategy and luck. You can play it however suits you. Most of the time I play slow and kind of zone out, but it also tracks your times if you'd rather race, chase high scores, compete on leaderboards etc.

It runs perfectly offline (inclduding the dictionary) - but has some optional online features like cloud saves and leaderboards. All online features don't require an account - it just syncs with Game Center to back-up your saves. You can opt out of everything.

There's a Challenge campaign too that adds new stuff as you progress (pre-placed words, blocked tiles, smaller boards).

On pricing: the standard game is free and you can play it as much as you want, with no ads ever. If you end up liking it, there's a one-time purchase that unlocks the full thing (stats, leaderboards, the Challenge levels). No subscriptions, and no ads even if you pay.

Would love to know what you think, especially how it feels to play. I'll be hanging around in the comments. I also have a budding discord community which you can find a link to in the app.
