This is my submission to GMTK Game Jam 2022. The theme was "Roll of the Dice" and I kinda took that literally.  There are dice on the screen and you must destroy before their numbers overwhelm you! But watch out as each dice has their own effect that will try and prevent you from wiping them out!


Controls:

WASD to move

J or left click to fire

R to restart the game


Dice Effects:

Dice Type

Dice Effects

0

Normal Dice, will spawn a random dice below every 15 seconds. Will spawn 3 random dice below on death

1

Will evolve into one of the dices below after 10 seconds.

2

After 5 seconds it will fling itself and attack the player. (It’s death doesn’t spawn another dice)

3

Gains a charge every 15 seconds up to 3 charges. At 3 charges it will self destruct. When it dies it’ll spawn additional type 2 dice equal to the amount of charges

4

Flips a "coin" every 10 seconds. On heads it will summon a normal dice

5

If there are any of these on the board, they will prevent one of the lasers from working. Will self destruct after 5 seconds

6

Directly does 1 dmg to the player every 30 seconds after spawning

Dice Deaths

Except dice 0, 1 & 2, on death the dice will spawn other dice whose sum equals the destroyed dice.

i.e.

Dice 6 dies - some potential spawns: (5,1), (3,2,1), (3,3)


Known Issues

There are no sound effects when the player shoots or when a dice die.

There's no "beating" the game. Nothing happens if you clear out all the dice. Just aim for a highscore.

Also the game may get laggy and collisions can get weird when there are a lot of dice on the screen.

Does the WebGL not work, or is it just me?

It works for me and some other people. Maybe try a different browser? To be honest I don't know why it wouldn't work or how to troubleshoot it.

I can help with that.

Thank you, it worked in a different browser, I had the same problem with my own! I was worried that it just did not work at all.
