Replaying Dicey Dungeons more makes me think Bonus Round (where you get random extra rules) has a lot more staying power than the rest of it… some of the rules are pretty fun to play around (especially the symmetrical ones) and makes me wish it was a bigger part of the game…
Instead of playing the new Balatro balance patch, I am replaying Dicey Dungeons.

Siffrin from In Stars And Time becomes a guest character on Dicey Dungeons, but instead of dice, they use rock-paper-scissors symbols (worth 0, 5 and 2 respectively).
I will say that the game's true draw – the dozens of "characters" with different physics and art styles – remains solid. In that respect Meteos is kind of the Dicey Dungeons of versus puzzlers (lots of "levels" with low individual replay value).
Dicey Dungeons breaks staggering new ground in roguelike design by being good while having zero replay value.
While making breakfast, I suddenly had the vision of a Dicey Dungeons joke episode where instead of dice, you get to break-shot a pool ball rack, and whatever balls you sink in the break are your resources this turn.
