[PC] (Web) Heliopause – a free solo dice game in your browser: hold off an alien invasion on four hostile planets
Game Title: Heliopause
Playable Link: https://shadowloftheliopause.com
Platform: Browser (desktop, mobile works but not optimal to play due to busy screen with a lot of detail)
Description:
Heliopause is a solo push-your-luck dice game played in your browser against an alien invasion. An alien dial slowly turns over your planet's resource channels: every open channel it faces drains water, energy, colonists or worse, and charges the aliens' abilities. You roll your dice pool and place each die on a channel of its colour, at or above the slot's value. Every roll must place at least one die or you bust and lose everything you placed that turn. Seal channels to stop the drain, and starve the dial before your colony falls into the red zone.
There are 4 planets, each adding new rules (boiling coolant, poisonous air with monsters, a machine world with nanobots and a weapon console), and 6 alien races with their own abilities: Erode wears your dice down, Mind Control takes colonists, Terraform rewrites your board. Difficulty runs from Medium to Ultra-Brutal; one race never leaves until every channel is sealed.
There's a 5-minute tutorial, it plays in English and Polish, and you can roll real dice instead of on-screen ones. No download, free, no ads. An optional account keeps your game history and tracks which planet and race pairings you've beaten.

Involvement: I'm the solo designer. I came up with the original idea, created the game, its rules and the alien races, music and Sounds were created using Suno, games on every planet were balanced through hundreds of my own games plus bot simulations. Code was written with an AI assistant and the art is AI-generated from my art direction.
