Peristyle

Peristyle is a roguelike about bank shots. You fire a marble around a walled Roman garden, and every new wall it touches before it hits a target multiplies what the shot is worth. Later in a run, one good shot can be worth trillions.

In a duel, two players share one court and one marble. You take turns at the same targets, a shot each, and the marble stays wherever the last shot left it. Park it somewhere awkward and that's where your opponent has to play from. The better score takes the court and the other player loses a life. Between fights you each play a court alone and shop for your own build. Play ranked for a rating and a spot on the ladder, unranked without an account, or against someone on your local network.

Alone, a run is twelve courts in one of seven gardens. Each court asks for a score and gives you a few shots to reach it. Make it and the gate opens. Miss it and the run is over. Firing straight at a target scores almost nothing, so the real question on every shot is how far round the court you can send the marble first, and where it will stop, because the next shot starts from there.

Between courts you spend coins on cameos, small carved rules that change how a shot is scored. They fire left to right, so the order matters. A few of them stop multiplying the score and start raising it to a power, which is where the numbers get silly. There are 138 of them. Some are yours from the start and the rest are locked in the garden wall until you do something to earn them.
