How to Play:
The evil cards are invading and the only way to stop them is with the power of dice of course! Roll dice towards the enemy to attack. The higher the number on the die, the stronger the next attack will be. Use the dice towers to your advantage by rolling the required dice indicated and dropping them into the top of the tower (by dragging/dropping dice with Right Mouse button). Doing so will earn you one of the upgrades listed below. Defeat each wave of cards before they reach the crystal and shatter it!
Upgrades:
- Drop a number of 1 dice into the extra die tower to earn additional dice.
- Drop a 6 into a PIERCE tower to upgrade to the pierce powerup. This will attack through the number of enemies as the die currently shows. Hitting an enemy will expend the PIERCE powerup so feel free to reroll before attacking to strengthen the die.
- Drop three 6's into the SLOW tower to temporarily slow the enemy's advance for a minute.
Use a combination of all the controls and powerups available to stop all 5 waves! Or try endless mode [not tested :)]
Now go defend the sacred crystal die and stop the evil invading cards!
