Die Fiend!

You are an entropy gremlin. You live within the Cathedral of Chance, where it is your sacred duty to monitor the fairness of the roll of the dice. But you have grown tired of hearing hapless adventurers moan and wail, so you decide to give them a hand. Consume chaos shards until your stomach is full and you are bursting with entropy, then find a nice spot to deposit a fate gem. The combined weight of chaos shards and fate gems will sway the adventurer's dice rolls, allowing them to overcome even the fiercest of monsters!

Controls: arrow keys to move, space while moving to deposit gems.

Cheats: press R to restart, N to skip a monster (there are 22!).

My entry for the GMTK 2022 game jam.

I know the game is a little complicated, so here's some tips and tricks:

• You play as the little gremlin on the left side of the screen
• The six rooms correspond to the six faces of a die
  
• At the start of the game, the Adventurer rolls fair dice (16% chance per side)
• Eat green shards from the 1 room to lower the chance of failure
• Deposit orange gems in the 6 room to increase the chance of physical attacks
• Or switch it up with powerful spells (rooms 3, 4 and 5)
• Your shield (room 2) heals, but only when an attack is succesful
• Look out for monster's vulnerabilities and immunities!
