Dicehead
A downloadable game
The goal of the game is to save dicette a little dice fairy.
Commands :
- Move the cursor or with the I or O keys (shoulders on controller)
- Click a button with SPACE or J (A on xbox controller)
- Move to the Left/Right with Q/A or D (use left joystick on a controller)
- Jump with J or SPACE (A on xbox controller)
- Moving into a wall will make you slide and jumping while sliding will result in a wall jump
- Roll a dice with K (or X on a xbox controller)
Gameplay Details :
In the Diceheads selection menu, you can assign a 6-faced dice to in game stats. It's up to you if you want a regular dice or if you want to play it more risky with special dices.
You can assign one type of dice for each stat :
- Jump
- Speed
- Sliding
When you roll a dice , you will roll 4 times forward (unless you face a wall) and destroy any enemy or projectile you will encounter. You should still be careful to the void ! Rolling has a cooldown of 2 seconds so you can't spam it.
Rolling will also change the stat you are targeting (Select it with the I or O keys, or shoulders on controller) to a random value from the dice assigned to it.
Here's an example :
In the current example, the Player has a speed value set to 1 and wants to change it. To do so he moved the cursor on the speed icon and he is now ready to roll a dice .
However be careful when trying to change your stats because each time you launch a dice, the Enemy level will change randomly affecting the enemies and their projectiles' moving speed.
One last thing. You might be tempted to stop rolling once you're satisfied with your stats but you shouldn't because if you don't roll for a too long period, each of your stat values will decrease to the side on its left until it reaches the one to the very left.

The game is really good! I really like the principle! I wonder how you got this idea ! The keys chosen on pc are not the most instinctive but it's very nice on controller! I had a very hard time on the last level but it was really nice! The only negative point is that there is no tutorial in the game...
