Dice of Kalma’s Silent Skulls Update Packs New Skulls, Cosmetics, and Handy QoL Tweaks

Dice of Kalma has been quietly carving out a niche among the wave of Balatro‑style roguelikes on mobile, and the latest 1.6 patch—dubbed Silent Skulls—just gave players a solid reason to celebrate.

The headline‑grabbers are four brand‑new skulls, the game’s equivalent of jokers. You’ll now meet the Judge, the Welder, the Musketeer and the Drilled skull, each handing out quirky boons such as extra skull tokens or multiplier boosts when you roll specific dice combos. It’s the kind of variety that can turn a routine run into a surprisingly fresh experience.

Beyond the new skulls, the update bundles a handful of quality‑of‑life niceties. A built‑in Skull Encyclopedia now lives right in the menu, letting you glance at a skull’s effect without digging through external guides. The devs also applied balance tweaks to some of the most‑used skulls, aiming to smooth out overpowered combos while keeping the game’s bitey challenge intact.

If you’ve been itching to support Pepperbox Studios, the freshly released Supporter DLC is your ticket. It adds a handful of sparkle‑covered dice and a set of custom reaper outfits, letting you dress up your grim avatar in style. It’s purely cosmetic, but the extra flash feels nice for those who love to show off.

All of this comes at a time when the Balatro‑like genre is still feeling its creative legs, rather than descending into copy‑cat territory. Dice of Kalma distinguishes itself with a dark‑fantasy aesthetic and a simple, yet deep, dice‑rolling combat loop that keeps players coming back for one more roll.

Newcomers might want to skim the community‑crafted beginner’s guide for a few handy tips before diving in, but even veterans will appreciate the fresh skulls and the little conveniences that make each run feel a bit smoother.
