Roll The Bones (FruitGhost)
About
This is my first Game Jam project and it is very rusty around the edges. It contains only 8 rooms and various puzzle elements. I made this on Windows but it should work on MAC and Linux. Oops.
It is a simple puzzle game focused around planning your moves based on what the dice in the large skull show. You play as a small skull that can roll around and flip levers.
There is lots of confusing elements because of some poor design decisions and time restraints. To make up for some of that, I'll add some info below.
Use WASD and E to move / interact. Use ESCAPE to restart level.
If you get stuck or decide to revisit the game later, or just get bored, you can use CTRL + F to skip a level or CTRL + R to go back a level.
Below are some game related tips.
General:
The levers each have unique borders that correspond to an eye-die.
Red levers can only be pulled once.
Green Plus adds the die to the eye, Red Minus removes the die from the eye.
Doors and traps with dice labels will activate when the corresponding eye matches.
Room 4 and onward:
Golden flooring tiles have special effects, based on the first eye.
Hearts make you invincible to fire and spiders.
Arrows make it so the dice do not roll down while on the tile.
Eye tiles are deadly.
Room 6 and onward:
Keys have unique shapes that correspond with the first eye.
Keys can only be picked up when the first eye matches the shape.
All keys must be picked up to open key-gates.
Room 7 is a bit convoluted.
That is all, thanks for checking out this page! - FruitGhost
