Description
The soundtrack for a single screen 16-bit early '90s era game where you catch, roll and count dice enemies.

The theme 'Runaway Dice' would play on the titlescreen.

'Roll 'Em' would play during the catch/roll phase of a round, where you lock the enemies' numbers one by one, simultaneously creating an order.

'Count 'Em' would play during the count phase of a round, wherein you count the enemies in the order that you rolled them (difficulty is determined by the number of enemies). When the count phase ends (timer is up), the locked-in numbers for each correctly ordered enemy are accumulated as your score.

If your final score at the end of a round doesn't reach the minimum to get to the next, 'It's Over' plays, otherwise you get 'Stage Clear'.

Message from the artist:
I hope it brings you a smile!

Theme:

Runaway

How does it fit the theme?
The dice enemies in the game run away (bit of a stretch of the theme) from you, and it is your goal to catch and roll them for points.

Retro goodness! Roll' Em is groovy and I can envision it in the roll phase.

Love how you made win and lose riffs, and even a song that I imagine would play while you stare at the roulette wheel and hope to not hear the lose theme. I also like the breathy lead in the title theme. Great job!

"Count em" is a cool song, I liked how it was pure percussion and employs a lot of interesting sounds that sound "dicey"

Nice work. The overall sound is good and your game concept seems interesting. The Game Over and Stage Clear songs are a nice touch.
