Roll of the Dice [GMTK Jam 2022]
Fight fierce enemies as you travel through Malazar's lair. Roll the dice to determine your damage, power up over time, and battle the evil idol himself.
Inspired by Dungeons and Dragons and classic turn-based games.
This roguelike was made during the GMTK Jam 2022. I missed the deadline so I took an extra day to polish and balance the game. Things I would have liked to add:
- More item status effects
- Better balancing between magic and physical damage
- More polish when you reach the final boss
- More story and lore pieces

I love this game. It's easy to understand, each turn is quick but helps you make decisions and the upgrades actually matter.
GREAT! I never thought managing randomness could be fun as a player
First try, maxing strength so that I didn't have to rely only on rolls.
Also cheated death without cheating death because I can
Woo First try!
Great game
As an RNG element/DND fan, this is a lot of fun to play when I have a free 15 minutes. So much so, I created a review of it!
ok do not change arc. it is necessary to complete the game since i tried beating the game without my arc going above 0 and i couldn't beat it
i finally did it
Amazing game. Simple but cool. Like it a lot.
Made a video
dex and arc is slightly too overpowered maybe make those types of items that give you dex and arc a bit less or less items like that
Visuals on this game look so good
Very good game, visuals are excellent, i didn't know what Str/Dex/Arc/Wis does, but there's a helpful tooltip when i hover over it, nice touch.
I'm sad to hear you weren't able to finish before the deadline : (
great game, shame how easy it is to break it completely tho
this is absolutely amazing! fantastic art style! and gameplay too
Awesome!
It feels very satisfying to see how the bosses become regular enemies after a while.
Also, that aesthetic is great :D
Looks and plays really great! One small question: do you twist RNG a bit, to get higher numbers?
For the most part, no! But there are two items that do change the RNG from 1-20 to 6-20 and then to 13-20. That's the only manipulating that happens. The rest is based on the stats you level up! :D
Neeeat! Thanks for the answer!
