# Rogue Daily

## Overview

Rogue Daily is a simple rogue-lite that fuses mechanics from old-school Gameboy Zelda games with the daily content format of [Wordle.](https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html)

### Game Concept

Every day a new 5x5 grid of rooms is generated with each room containing a different puzzle, combat encounter, or rest area. Starting in the top left, the player moves through each room by either going down or to the right. The player ends his run in the bottom right corner of the grid with a mini-boss. They're then able to share their performance on twitter in a similar fashion to [Wordle](https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html).
