The roguelite puzzle game Dialoop, developed and published by Byking Inc., has officially announced that it will be leaving early access in its Ver. 1.0.0 launch on April 20, 2026. The Early Access period lasted around 4 months, with a 10% discount on the $7.99 price point. After officially launching, the price has not changed. Byking has also released a new trailer for the Version 1.0.0 content.
The 1.0 update brings a larger playable roster to the table, adding three new characters and pushing the total count up to 12. There’s a new boss named Chronos, a new stage, and an expansion of relics to over 150 across both modes. New story content is also included, with new Fatality animations and voice lines for characters. It also notes that Early Access leaderboard rankings will be wiped on launch.
Dialoop is a roguelite puzzle hybrid that combines match-3 gameplay, deckbuilding, and strategic grid manipulation. Under the constraints of turn limits, players build and customize a puzzle deck where each card triggers chain reactions on the board, then stacks relics on top of those decks to create powerful synergies and score bonuses. The core control scheme lets players slide the grid both vertically and horizontally, requiring careful planning to set up combos and recover from tough board states.
Solo Adventure mode follows a cast of globally-sourced characters navigating ancient ruins through a board game-style progression system, facing bosses like the Desert Sphinx, the Dragon of the Scorched Ruins, and the Kraken of the Sunken Temple. Each character carries their own personal wish driving them forward. Outside of the story, players can customize their voxel avatar with outfits and styles, and losing a match triggers a darkly comedic voxel Fatality animation. The Arena mode supports up to 8 players in competitive puzzle battles, where building large combos doubles as a weapon against the competition on the way to the top spot.
