How many Dudes does it take to beat a thousand toddlers?
A silverback gorilla?
A horse-sized duck?
A GOD?!
Welcome to the Dude Ranch, where you recruit and manage your ever-expanding army of Dude
- Choose from a wild cast of Dude Families: Undead Dudes, Workin' Dudes, Warrior Dudes, and many more.
- Setup your Dude Roster to mix and match Dudes and form ridiculous synergies - like Zombie Dudes who get stronger as other Dudes fall in battle, or Ninja Dudes who enter the arena shrouded in shadow.
- Each run brings a fresh batch of Dudes for you to choose from.
Create game-breaking synergies with your roster of Dudes and strange powers.
- Collect dozens of Dude Relics that warp the rules of battle. Make your Wizard Dudes fling a volley of fireballs, your Ninja Dudes enter stealth after a kill, or Workin' Dudes generate more cash with each win.
- Choose your Dudes wisely. Each Dude has their place in battle, from dishing out damage to tanking it to commanding other Dudes.
Face escalating enemy waves—from toddlers to wolves to gorillas to gods.
- Conquer boss fights that test your team’s synergy (and your sanity).
- Discover new recruits, relics, and harder challenges with tons of things to collect.
- Strategic auto-battler roguelite full of game-breaking synergies
- Dozens of Dude types to recruit, unlock, and manage
- Relics and synergies that completely reshape each run
- Boss fights and escalating nonsense
- Infinite replayability and absurdity
💬 TL;DR
It’s Balatro meets Totally Accurate Battle Simulator, but everyone’s a Dude.
Recruit your Dudes. Expand your Ranch.
And find out how many it takes.

Cool game
Very fun game!!
Show post...
Check the update of this game HERE
hell yeah, kill those toddlers!
The bees are the worst!
Made a video
Medics are broken
cool game
3 dudes to defeat ur mom
I had the same problem, I think some of the assets aren't downloading but it worked when I downloaded it instead of playing in the browser
I’m on mobile so I can’t download it any fix? :/
you know your computer sucks when it cant handle more than a hundred enemies on the screen and you’re choosing the battles that wont crash it.
Got to round 113. Very fun.
Those polar bears in the ending rounds are crazy
sooo much fun, the bees being resistant(? idr) to cleave is evil though lol. will definitely play again some other time! i think it definitely needs some way to lower settings though because near the end it started being a lot for my computer to handle.
died at 111, is it just me or does paladin+clericmaxxing seem like one of the only ways to actually win/go 100+ rounds?
Game still fun as hell tho :p
Tons of fun and looking forward to tweaks and expansions. Keep up the good work.
For slower defensive teams, a 2x speed would be great. Some battles with fast enemies like alpha wolves took upwards of 5 minutes.
Great game. Such a fresh take on idle genre
got to 101 until a bunch of super buffed unicorns beat my undead frankeinstien horde
round 100, and my team is only immortal dudes and 1 ninja (and he rarely dies), i suffer in rounds with many things (200-700 enemies) because everything lags, i demolish rounds with few hard enemies, i hate bees (both big and small) and badgers, the game freezes every time i end a round and unfreezes after 10-20 seconds, gonna see how long i last against the endless boss rush
a... toddler... last i saw one was ages ago, and until i lost no other appeared...
1669!? WHY MUST I SUFFER A SLOW DEATH?!
the team survived more than i expected, my problems where gorillas, bees, badgers and many geese, the game was fun, not gonna play much more because the freezes and large waves exist and are anoying
fun
Hey, thought it was pretty fun. You mind if I translate it to Brazilian Portuguese?
playing the web version and for some reason my screen flashes cyan every now and then, gives me a headache but also probably isnt great for anyone with epilepsy, please fix this.
Uh, haven't played yet, and the description has me hyped up. Just for your feedback.
i love this freaking game about beating toddlers, horses, bees, giant bees, etc. i wish that the game autoosaved after each round, thanks. and i found a great synergi with the frankendude and the necrodude, necrodude makes skeletons, skeletons get knoked out and the frankendude gets health and strength
I've always wanted to beat up obscene amounts of toddlers
I had no idea I needed this in my life xD
Paused at wave 69 cause im tired, hopefully its still here when I get up lol
Wishlisting on Steam and looking forward to exploring more!!
(cleric, medic, knight, necro, franky for first run)
I will say I was kinda looking forward to kicking a 1000 toddlers. . . hope that is still a thing at some point lol
I'd love to see the crazy builds Dex could come up in this!
Also, Clerics are OP, it's awesome
Never thought about if I could legitimately take on 1000 toddlers PRIOR to this video haha. Was a great play! If I end up getting 10 likes, Ill do full playthrough of the game on release OR attempt to get round 100 AGAIN on a new video! :) Loved the concept! AND the unique relics
i need an "end round button". i am on round 103. FrankenDude is too tanky, gets knocked back, receives 10% temp health shield and cant attack. 10 minutes in, he killed 5 geese, 45 left. fyi: there is a map border and you can leave it. nope its still doesnt end the round
Man I really enjoyed it, but somehow right on every new choice I had this micro freeze which is super annoying. It happens literally before every pop up window for me :\
An insane and highly entertaining game.
I just spammed clerics for the heck of it and they ended up relentlessly healing each other. Got to round 107. Cleric only build is CRACKED
awesome game , well only thing that actully gets annoying is after beating a round the game freezes for like 5/6 seconds before you can actually pick a new dude...
besides that i had a blast playing
Mmm yeah I think that's just a problem with the browser version... The downloadable version on Steam won't have those issues!
cant wait to try it on steam!!!!!!!but well done with the game, love the art also!!
121 with zombies, frankensteins and necrodudes.
Frankies went up to 2-3k HP and still wasn't enough in the end (look at how big they get :)) )
Went up 2 more levels from this.
Most successful run yet but 122 seems unbeatable.
THAT'S A BIG BOY
Cleric + Medic + Vampire + Zombie + Necrodude = easy round 110.
Healing synergies get frankly too absurd too quickly.
A little gameplay, just a hint of critique ;)
114, Fantasy
Round 94, might be invincible due to all my autoheals. Also the victory screen is taking longer and longer each time, now its starting to show "window is not responding" for a few seconds
