Give the game of chance a chance

We've all played RPGs and wondered, at some point or another, what would happen if they were merged with a slot machine. What do you mean you haven't?

BackUp Entertainment certainly has, and the fruit of this unique idea is Spinlanders.

Insert coin in slot

Currently in development for iOS and Android, Spinlanders features all the hallmarks of dungeon crawlers like Diablo III - lots of enemies and enough loot to sink a ship.

However, where it differs is that the fighting mechanic revolves around a game of chance - if you line up the reels in certain orders, you attack, gain loot, or are attacked.

Unfortunately, the game isn't available for release yet, as it is yet to fund the licensing fees and the audio is unfinished. If you wish to pledge your cash to help fund such a novel idea, you can do so over at their Kickstarter page.
