Dicey (balanced)
Balanced version of original Ludum Dare submission: https://timeriksen.itch.io/dicey.
Dicey is a “probability management” game about winning space battles by throwing dice! Gain experience points by winning and spend those points on buying more dice and repairing your ship. Dicey can be pretty dicey (see what I did there?), so try a few different strategies and see if you can beat the odds!
How to play
The game is controlled by click on-screen buttons with your cursor. To roll your dice you press the button directly above the dice in the lower left corner. The game consists of several phases that loop until you either get all the way to the end and win or explode in a fireball of missing graphics.
The flow of the game goes something like this:
- Jump forwards with your ship by throwing your jump dice
- Encounter an enemy ship
- Battle the enemy ship by taking turns throwing attack and defense dice (damage is calculated by the sum of the attack dice minus sum of the defense dice)
- Win (or lose) the encouter and gain experience points (XP)
- Spend earned XP on buying more dice or/and throwing your repair dice to attempt to repair damage
- Repeat!
