Quarterheart

About this game

Quarterheart is a cozy arcade roguelite.

You found an old cabinet in the attic, and it still works. Feed it a quarter, fight the monsters in its screen, win a sticker for every first kill. Your goal is simple: cover the whole machine in your victories. It's been waiting up there a long time — and it's glad you finally came.

Drop a Coin

A run takes a few minutes, win or lose — quick to start, and quick to talk you into one more. There's always another coin.

Fight Its Monsters

Eight colours, eight ways to fight.

Build Your Run

Pick one of three upgrades after each win and stack them into a build that's yours.

Cover the Cabinet

Every first kill prints a sticker. Stick it on the machine, over the last owner's faded scribbles, until it shows your whole play history.

FEATURES

  • Quick roguelite runs with upgrade after each combat

  • Eight colours, each its own way to fight

  • Upgrade tree with permanent unlocks

Insert coin to play?

(And no — it isn't gambling. The coin's a prop, the machine only ever pays out in stickers, and it will never ask you for real money.)

Quarterheart

A small, cozy roguelite that lives inside an old arcade cabinet. Feed it quarters, fight its monsters, climb floor by floor, cover it in your victories. The longer you play, the more it changes — and the more it feels like it was always yours. Insert coin to play?
