Die of the Dungeon

Die of the Dungeon

    Gill the Generic Adventure is on a mission to steal all the treasure from a mysterious dungeon. However, the dungeon is guarded by a mystical die. Can you help Gill steal all the treasure?

    The object of the game is to move Gill to the treasure chest in each level. However, Gill’s movement is not entirely under your control. You can use the WASD keys to specify a direction to move in, but the die in the lower right of the screen will decide how many squares Gill will move in that direction. But fear not, on most levels, you have the power to switch between different die modes with the Q and E keys to gain an advantage. 

There are six different tile types, each which do something different.

    Stone - Gill can stand on these tiles safely

    Walls - These tiles will block Gill’s movement

    Pits - Gill will fall to his death if he stands or walks on thes tiles

    Cracked Stone - Gill can walk on these tiles, but will fall to his death if he stands        on them

    Ice - Gill will slide off this tile (or line of tiles)

    Treasure Chest - Gill must stand on this tile to win

    All ten levels can be beaten without dying, regardless of which numbers are rolled. The trick is finding the right path and die modes.

Controls:

    WASD - Move in a direction

    Q / E - Switch die modes

    R - Reset level

    L - Skip level

    M - Mute music

    This game (including art and music) was made in under 48 hours for the GMTK 2022 Game Jam, there will doubtless be many bugs *aghem* features, for which I apologies. I hope you enjoy it regardless.
