- WEATHER REPORT - 17 July 2026
Heyoooooooo Temple Guardians, weather forecast listeners and Santa believers!!!! Be honest, did you miss GIMMIKO? Actually, don't even bother answering, we can see the excitement through the cracks in your wall . Well, we’re pumped to show you more gimmicked up stuff too. Today's topic is THE WEATHER, so get your whole arsenal ready: don your raincoat, sunscreen, wool socks, and grab a cold lemonade! Weather is a temporary effect that can be applied to a stage randomly to mess with you, enemies or even your dice, forcing you to adapt by changing your playstyle in different ways! Possible climate conditions are really diverse and range from simple rain and heatwaves to alien invasions and an aurora borealis localized entirely within your computer screen!! Weather is usually applied randomly and it lasts for a couple of stages, and you’ll find different kinds of weather in different place…

Heyoooooooo Temple Guardians, Peony's treehouse climbers and quirky dice enjoyers!!!! Today we want to shed some light on Dice Quirks! Whether you're into that kind of stuff (we don't judge) or not, you totally shouldn't sleep on this mechanic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, what exactly are Quirks?

Make your dice completely and utterly unusable in a funny way simply to farm likes on twitter!?!? Look no further, Quirks will get you mad retweets. And I guess they’re good when playing the game, too. If you played the demo (and if you didn't, what’s wrong with you!?!?!? go play it now!!!!!!), you probably have encountered them already from dice you’ve bought at STERLING CUSTOMS.Besides buying dice with Quirks already applied, these modifiers can…
