A respinner, also called a respin hack, is a romhack that lets you easily respin game elements for a different gameplay experience.

The term “respin” in this context was coined by clymax in 2026 to better differentiate such mods from randomizers, the vast majority of which are web-based or app-based randomizers rather than integrated, internal, or self-randomizers.

So, all respinners are also randomizers, while the vast majority of randomizers are not respinners.

Resetting the romhack and trying a new seed is analogized to respinning a roulette wheel to get a new result.

All known respinners are grouped by platform below. Not all are public mods; some are private mods.

Note that some of the detail in the tables are still being finalized and so are subject to change.

Know of any that should be added to this page? Comment below, or come hang out with us on Discord.

Note that roguelikes are not covered on this page but can be covered on a separate page.
