Aleam Ludere - Play at Dice by gi11


Controls: * WSAD - Movement * Space - Roll Dice * Mouse1 - Shoot * Aim with Mouse
Play as a dice wielding cowboy who got caught cheating using loading dice. To take your turn, press space to roll a dice. The AP you get will allow you to either move or shoot. If you get caught three times, it's game over.
My take on the theme is a turn-based, top-down western shooter.

@Silvae Thanks. Yeah I can see how it can be confusing at the start. Will def spend more time explaining in future jams.
@WalterP Thanks. I was planning on adding those things but really started to run out of time.
@Danny88881 Thanks. That is an interesting bug. I'll spend some time trying to figure out why that happened.
@Gizmolo Thanks. I'll definitely spend more time explaining next time.
@Jamblefoot Thanks. Like everyone else mentioned, I will definitely spend more time explaining next time.
Thanks for the feedback everyone.
I ended up shooting dices like crazy, which is quite fun. But yeah, maybe the all thing needs to be a little bit easier to understand ? The mix of dices and shoot is fun !
@BlazeDragon Thanks. I updated the page to make it easier to see.
@differentname Thanks. I've updated the view size. Yeah, I agree the first few levels were kind of slow, but I wanted to use them to get use to the world. It is actually kind of easy to win, once you get use to it.
@Elmeri THanks. I ran out of time before a tutorial. The dice was supposed to mimic table top dice rolling. Maybe it should have been more obvious.
Thanks
Maybe the player could have have a kind of cover if the enmies are shooting all at the same time.

Was that the last level or could you go further afterwards? :D
