Dicey Descent

About

Dicey Descent is a race to the bottom as you control a d20 on its way down a dice tower. The faster you make it to the bottom, the better your roll will be!

Made for the GMTK Game Jam 2022

Controls:

A / D to move left/right (these are physical maps, so your keyboard layout should be supported if you don't use WASD)

(Left / Right arrow keys also work if you are a psychopath (or left handed).)

Space to jump

Click to launch towards mouse cursor

Remarks

This is my first Godot game and my first game jam entry.

While I couldn't dedicate as much time this weekend to this project as I would have liked, holding back the quality of the game, I definitely met some major goals of mine: 1) to finally enter a game jam, 2) to finally start learning Godot, and 3) to return to game dev as a hobby after a long drought.

The game is definitely in a glaringly unfinished state, but it is playable. Things like music, sound, particles, better UI, and overall juice are missing, but I'm uploading this at my bedtime just to be sure I have something submitted at all since I have obligations in the morning. Perhaps I will be able to squeeze in some of those things before the deadline, but I won't make any promises to myself or to anyone on that.

Thank you for visiting my game page. Participating in this event means a lot to me and I appreciate you taking the time to share this moment with me, if even for a moment.
