Number Gacha is a half-parody, half-real gacha game where you roll, unwrap, and battle numbers. Play on Desktop for the best experience!

Reminds me of NumberWang from Mitchell and Webb’s skits.

3rd pvp round is 852 and seems quite difficult

This is very well done. Where are the microtransactions? You could be rich beyond your wildest dreams, dear author, if only you let me buy gems.

Fun! On iOS I can drag numbers into my battle team - it tries to refresh the page when I drag outside a very short range.

Edit - refresh fixed it?

It's not a gacha essence unless there are numbers with increasingly sexy designs.

Having never played gacha games but getting a good laugh out of this, is this really a thing people play? How different is the real gameplay?

Generally speaking most gachas

I think the idea is that many games in essence boil down to this. Gamified random number generators.

It's really well done, and hilarious.

I love the sound design, and the dithered look is also great. Feels more polished than many "real" games.
