Dicey Defense

Made for the 2022 GMTK Game Jam

This simple looking game can get quite interesting very quick. It is a swarm defense game that has you use dice to attack the enemy dice. Click the heart to create a white die, and drag the dice onto enemies to attack. You longer the game goes on, the more enemies that spawn, so you'll need to strategize how you use your resources to get a good highscore.

As for the rules, I think it's more fun if you go in blind and figure it out on your own, but the full ruleset is below:

Click the heart for a white die.

You can only get 1 white die at a time.

Click and drag dice to deal damage to oncoming enemies.

If you match the number on your die and on the enemy, and the enemy hasn't been damaged yet, you will get a Perfect Kill.

Perfect Kills will grant you 1 black die that is yours to use. Black die can also get Perfect Kills.

A black die that has the number six will become a Crit Die. It will blow up a large area, destroying enemies surrounding it.

If you get a Perfect Kill with a Crit Die (explosion kills don't count), then 3 extra black die will be created.

As an added bonus (and something that would be more code just to remove), you can place your die over multiple nearby enemies, dealing the same amount of damage to each. Try and go for the double Perfect Kill!

I hope you enjoy!
