Dice Attack!

how to play:

• first, press the 'ROLL' button
• drag dice into the game board
• to stack dice, the dice on top must have a value greater than or equal to the dice below
• the following patterns clear dice and give you points
  • a vertical stack of 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 (straight)
  • a vertical stack of three of a kind or more
  • a horizontal row of three of a kind or more
• on each turn, you can use the cards on the left once each to change the dice values
• any dice you do not use will be lost upon starting the next turn
• try to get a high score! add your score in the comments

score details:

• clearing a straight give you Fever, which gives you x4 on all scores, but lasts for a limited time (denoted by the top left number)
• if you make a move that would give you Fever while you still have Fever, you get more Fever time
• when a clear happens as a result of dice falling from another clear, it's a Combo, which multiplies your score and adds 1 to the multiplier for each clear in the chain
• Combo stacks with Fever
• clearing the board gives you a flat bonus
