About

You are a random wizard but not just any random wizard. You are THEE, random wizard. You have the power to see the future regarding luck and randomness.  You can see the outcomes of all random events before they happen.

This game was made in 48 hours for the GMTK 2022 game jam.

I developed this game by myself completely over the jam period.

Note: Go easy on me I really ran out of time.

Tutorial:

Goal: In each level, your goal is to kill all the enemies.

How to fail: A level is failed when the player dies or if all dice are used up.

The dice: The dice on top of the screen shows how random event will occur. When a random event is triggered the leftmost dice is used.

Controls:

Movement: WASD or Up Down Left Right

Space: Pressing space allows you to roll your dice. Rolling the dice removes the first dice roll in the queue.

Entities:

General: At any point, you can hover your mouse over an entity to see what it does.

Crossbow: The crossbow sits and waits. When something walks in front of it, it triggers a random event. This event uses the first dice roll. If the dice roll is a 1 it will jam and not fire. Otherwise, it will fire killing any living thing in front of it.

Teleporter: The teleporter teleports any other entity that steps on it. The teleporter also triggers a random event. The teleporter will teleport the entity (dice number) of spaces. If the entity teleports into anything other than empty space it dies.

Crate: The crate can be pushed by the player. It will move (dice number) of moves when the player pushes it.

Enemy: The enemy will charge at the player if the player enters the line of sight.
