Nubby's Number Factory is a 2025 roguelike strategy game created by developer MogDogBlog Productions. In it, players control a factory where they are tasked to launch Nubby, a living ball, into a board of pegs to continuously generate higher and higher numbers, or else the sun will explode.[1]

Reception

[edit]

Nubby's Number Factory released to positive reviews, with reviewers drawing favorable comparisons to Balatro,[2] Peggle, and Ballionaire,[3] also complimenting its price, music, absurd setting and terminology, bizarre, flash inspired art style,[4] style of progression, and addictive gameplay,[5] while criticizing some of the balancing, lack of replay value and the difficulty of the challenges, which developer MogDogBlog vowed to improve.[6]
