About This Game

Copy your copies.

DITTOMATIC is a turn-based photocopier roguelike built on one bad office habit: copying the copy of a copy.

Drag a box around some stamps, copy it and press it back onto the page. Every copy is a generation stronger. Land a circle on a circle and they fuse into a higher tier. Land it on a square and you get a misprint, which is sometimes a mistake and sometimes the whole plan.

A fresh crescent stamp scores 9. Fused to the top tier and copied four generations deep, it scores 1,440, and that's before the multiplier.

Build the page. Then print it.

Each sheet starts with a few original stamps and a limited supply of ink. Copying is free. Before you paste, see the ink cost and planned placement; chance effects resolve when you commit. Set matching stamps side by side, spread one lineage across the page and fill whole rows. Every copy, fusion and match pushes the multiplier higher.

Then hit Print and watch the score cascade. The page adds itself up cell by cell, the multiplier climbs and the total slams down. Every point traces back to a cell or a named bonus, so you always know why a page worked.

Build your way through the office

Classic runs span 12 contracts across four shifts. Choose routes through seven departments, meet quotas and face changing audits, ending at the Annual General Meeting.

• 75 shop upgrades plus five rare Classified upgrades. Arrange a five-slot row that scores from left to right.
  
• Open parcels, choose Office Policies, and combine supplies, stamp-kit finishes, upgrade editions and stickers.
  
• Five modes: a 15-chapter Campaign, Classic, Endless, Career and Time Trial, with optional Time Attack categories, daily seeds and 23 challenges.
  
• Ten difficulty grades and six printers.
  
• Your run saves after each accepted action, ready to resume.

Neon night shift

Warm paper under fluorescent riso inks, misregistered titles and drifting halftone screens. Or switch to Pop-art halftone or Retro terminal. The original soundtrack builds as you close in on quota, every line of the cascade adds a note, and a big print lands with its own sting.

Accessible by design

• Mouse, keyboard and gamepad controls, with rebindable keyboard and gamepad button actions
  
• Text size up to 150%, a high-contrast mode, colourblind modes, a large cursor and reduced motion
  
• Shapes and numerals carry every meaning, so you never need colour or sound
  
• A five-lesson tutorial that teaches the whole loop, which you can replay any time

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Some pre-made assets and text in Ink Cascade (such as certain artwork, icons, and written copy) were created with the assistance of generative AI tools and then reviewed and edited by the developer. No content is generated by AI during gameplay, and the game does not connect to any AI services at runtime.
