If it doesn't fit anywhere else, it belongs here. Also, come here if you just need to get hammered.

868-HACK

Note: I'm not associated with the developer at all, I'm just a smitten player.

Anyhow! I have fallen in love with the tiniest roguelike: 868-HACK. 6x6 grid, 8 levels, 4 enemy types, 20-ish player abilities. You use limited "siphons" to gain abilities (progs), resources (to fuel your abilities), or score points (you play for score, hopefully to streak); siphoning progs or points releases enemies. Winning games run in the 15-minute range.

It. Is. So. Good. Everything you do is a tradeoff -- do I collect resources now so scoring later is safer? Do I think I can handle the 6 enemies that'll be called when I siphon this prog?

It's for iOS and costs like $7. Best $7 I've ever spent; I've probably sunk 15 hours into it so far. The prototype was a 7DRL entry and is free:

OK now it's bedtime.
I am not a very good player. My mouth is a foul pit of LIES. KNOW THIS.

Re: 868-HACK

The 7drl prototype of this was definitely cool, yeah. A PC port is apparently in progress, hopefully it's done sometime soon since I've heard a bunch of people say how the iOS version is so much better.
