How does your game fit the theme?
The key mechanics of the game are about affecting dice as they roll to try and force an outcome. SHOOT dice to speed them up and keep them rolling, or WEB dice to slow them down and make them stop before they hit a wall and change. Make sure the dice stop on BONES to win cash for your cheating pirate friends!

It has a very original concept with cool mechanics to back it up. Several times, I mistook the squid(?) dice for the skull dice. Maybe the skull side has a different colour? otherwise, it really fun to play!

Developer

Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it! and thanks for the feedback -- those "squid dice" were probably the skull + crossbone dice that are actually worth double points, but we definitely need better messaging!

Nice game! I quite like these entries where you have to play with the dice to create a desired outcome. Your spin with firing/slowing them down was engaging and interesting. Maybe it got a little too tricky at times, especially in the later levels where there's just so much for the dice to bounce on, but I think the base concept has potential! And the spider is just very cute :)
