How many Dudes does it take to beat a thousand toddlers?
A silverback gorilla?
A horse-sized duck?
A GOD?!
Welcome to the Dude Ranch, where you recruit and manage your ever-expanding army of Dude
- Choose from a wild cast of Dude Families: Undead Dudes, Workin' Dudes, Warrior Dudes, and many more.
- Setup your Dude Roster to mix and match Dudes and form ridiculous synergies - like Zombie Dudes who get stronger as other Dudes fall in battle, or Ninja Dudes who enter the arena shrouded in shadow.
- Each run brings a fresh batch of Dudes for you to choose from.
Create game-breaking synergies with your roster of Dudes and strange powers.
- Collect dozens of Dude Relics that warp the rules of battle. Make your Wizard Dudes fling a volley of fireballs, your Ninja Dudes enter stealth after a kill, or Workin' Dudes generate more cash with each win.
- Choose your Dudes wisely. Each Dude has their place in battle, from dishing out damage to tanking it to commanding other Dudes.
Face escalating enemy waves—from toddlers to wolves to gorillas to gods.
- Conquer boss fights that test your team’s synergy (and your sanity).
- Discover new recruits, relics, and harder challenges with tons of things to collect.
- Strategic auto-battler roguelite full of game-breaking synergies
- Dozens of Dude types to recruit, unlock, and manage
- Relics and synergies that completely reshape each run
- Boss fights and escalating nonsense
- Infinite replayability and absurdity
💬 TL;DR
It’s Balatro meets Totally Accurate Battle Simulator, but everyone’s a Dude.
Recruit your Dudes. Expand your Ranch.
And find out how many it takes.

Got my last die on this run, didn't expect the Vikings to do so well. And how is any team supposed to beat this level?
This team is pretty unbeatable until they throw 400 sabertooth plus another 400 honeybadgers at you. Do you guys need any testers?
Beeg spatans
havent seen all dudes but there better be a florida dude
i think something wrong with my game i'm stuck in the black screen
Game is neat but healing is WAAAAAAY too centralizing right now because of how punishing of a death spiral losing dudes is.
Get rid of permanent death for dudes between rounds and you fix this issue.
is this the demo?
add a surrender button i beg of you, i'm getting juggledby geese XD
i'm freeeeee
i dont think thats gonna happen.
I perma broke the game, I lost at 113, it crashed, now it won't load
Holy lag. Playing in Chrome with a pretty good PC, but i have 3 seconds per frame
i think this game is really great, and im definitely eager to learn more, but it really irks me when a dev drops a game and vanishes like the avatar.
how to download?
from round 64 it looks more like a GPU tester than a Game x)
(game is still fun tho)
I love this game so much!!! Just sharing my best run so far. Feel free to subscribe to my channel by clicking my profile. :D
I like the game a lot, although rng can be sometimes to brutal, and some specific character skills need changing to be viable
Cool game
Very fun game!!
hell yeah, kill those toddlers!
The bees are the worst!
Made a video
Medics are broken
cool game
3 dudes to defeat ur mom
I had the same problem, I think some of the assets aren't downloading but it worked when I downloaded it instead of playing in the browser
I’m on mobile so I can’t download it any fix? :/
you know your computer sucks when it cant handle more than a hundred enemies on the screen and you’re choosing the battles that wont crash it.
Got to round 113. Very fun.
Those polar bears in the ending rounds are crazy
sooo much fun, the bees being resistant(? idr) to cleave is evil though lol. will definitely play again some other time! i think it definitely needs some way to lower settings though because near the end it started being a lot for my computer to handle.
died at 111, is it just me or does paladin+clericmaxxing seem like one of the only ways to actually win/go 100+ rounds?
Game still fun as hell tho :p
Tons of fun and looking forward to tweaks and expansions. Keep up the good work.
For slower defensive teams, a 2x speed would be great. Some battles with fast enemies like alpha wolves took upwards of 5 minutes.
Great game. Such a fresh take on idle genre
got to 101 until a bunch of super buffed unicorns beat my undead frankeinstien horde
round 100, and my team is only immortal dudes and 1 ninja (and he rarely dies), i suffer in rounds with many things (200-700 enemies) because everything lags, i demolish rounds with few hard enemies, i hate bees (both big and small) and badgers, the game freezes every time i end a round and unfreezes after 10-20 seconds, gonna see how long i last against the endless boss rush
a... toddler... last i saw one was ages ago, and until i lost no other appeared...
1669!? WHY MUST I SUFFER A SLOW DEATH?!
the team survived more than i expected, my problems where gorillas, bees, badgers and many geese, the game was fun, not gonna play much more because the freezes and large waves exist and are anoying
fun
Hey, thought it was pretty fun. You mind if I translate it to Brazilian Portuguese?
playing the web version and for some reason my screen flashes cyan every now and then, gives me a headache but also probably isnt great for anyone with epilepsy, please fix this.
Uh, haven't played yet, and the description has me hyped up. Just for your feedback.
