It's Peggle, but your ball is a little round guy or girl, and you shoot them at monsters and treasure. You can use a bunch of skills mid-flight to change direction or attack the monsters better. It's a good game to play when you only have fifteen minutes.

finished a run with all 4 classes and defeated the final boss with the 4th one all within 3 hours, my first run in this game. It was fun but i expected more.

Alright. I enjoyed my time playing Roundguard but I think that time has come to an end. I have completed two runs, but I don't really care about leaderboards or wrapping up challenges, which is where the emphasis lies once you've mastered the base game aspects. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3274627165 The product description reads as follows: [quote=author]Roundguard is a bouncy dungeon crawler with pinball physics, lots of loot, and a randomized castle full of oddballs. Press your luck against hordes of dangerously cute monsters and challenging roguelike elements in this all-round bouncy adventure! This is about as accurate as product descriptions get. It is exactly that. Cartoonish, silly, with really fun gameplay involving you shooting your hero from a ballista repeatedly, to defeat enemies, destroy gold pots, chests and potions, and generally clear a kind of pinball meets pong style arena. Not only is it fun, but it is suitable for children as well, should you be so inclined to buy the game for and/or play this game with your kids. For me, the cutesy aspect did kind of run its course after a couple hours, and while I 100% appreciate the 'all ages' approach to this game, after a while, the cutesiness did sort of grate on me. Not to the point of annoyance, but to the point where, once I'd explored the games dynamics and completed a couple runs, I was good. Now, there is some RPG depth to this game. Levelling up happens automatically and raises your health and mana, but you will begin each run by selecting a hero and deciding whether or not you'd like to use any relics you've unlocked. You will also begin each run with a starter ability such as being able to plow through obstacles to get to your opponents, cause bleed damage, poison, etc... all cost mana, and you begin each run with a limited amount of both health and mana, which can be replenished by bouncing off of the appropriate potions. The arenas are connected using a node system, wherein after defeating all enemies in an arena, you have to bounce your way into one to three map choices, leading you to the next arena node. Sometimes, it's easy to select which way you want to go. Other times, you'll bounce in unpredictable ways and end up in a different one than you planned, lol. With an arena clear, you also have to use the same bouncing mechanic to select an arena reward, which might be armor or weapon upgrades or new/upgraded abilities. You have two active ability slots. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3274627204 Eventually, you'll end up in the boss arena, where you are treated to the boss smack-talking you before the match begins. Each boss has some sort of unique ability which will make you actually use a bit of strategy to defeat it, which is cool. Additionally, at certain intervals in your run, you earn a time out where you get to try your luck at an automatically spinning wheel of fortune, wherein you can earn permanent passive upgrades. This will be impacted by how much gold you've earned in your run to that point. And you get a bit of banter between the dungeon master and your hero. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3274627237 I played using k/m, but this game definitely has both gamepad and Steam Deck compatibility, so you should be able to play this with zero issues regardless of which you choose. All in all, Roundguard combines a few different genres into a roguelike that is both fresh and relatively unique. I enjoyed it even if the cutesiness did wear on me a bit. This game has been bundled six times, so I wouldn't recommend paying full price, but if you get it for a nice discount or in a future bundle, I think there is a lot to like here and it's worth a look.

I am a roguelike/roguelite fan. Although Roundguard only passively claims to be a roguelike, it truly is and in many ways this game does for peggle what Balatro does for poker and Rack and Slay does for billiards - it brings roguelike elements to a genre that is otherwise pretty standard and repetitive. Where roundguard excels is in variety - each run is very different, with very different perks and challenges. The gameplay is fun, it doesn’t feel too repetitive and the upgrade trees are unique enough that each run feels special. Where roundguard falls short is in power builds - in games like Slay the Spire, Balatro and Brotato you will randomly get combos that make the game easy, making you feel like a god for a single round. Roundguard doesn’t have that - there are no builds that made me laugh out loud and no builds that made me crave this game when I wasn’t playing it. Overall, I recommend the game at this price point for roguelike fans - it’s fun and a great game to passively play. It also plays very well on touchscreens and handhelds.
