Submission for the GMTK 2022 game jam. The theme for the jam was: Roll of the dice.  In this game, you are merely the plaything of a giant, as you fight for survival in his cruel game. 

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS There is no tutorial because I didn't have time, but I wrote it out here. A lot of people were confused so I tried to be thorough. 

The goal is to see how many times you can roll the dice before running out of supplies and dying. Each action will take a resource, watch your HUD.   You will need rerolls to spend on each roll, which can be picked up (the floating grey cubes) and then spend them by pressing E on the black poles (see tagged image)      You can build bridges between these newly rolled dice by pressing F . Each bridge will cost you one bridge resource, which you can refill by picking up the floating brown rectangles. Once you make it to the next dice, you will need to kill the skeletons by Shooting them with LEFT CLICK.  This too will spend Ammo, which can be refilled by picking up the floating quivers. 

NOTES

the skellies can only be killed once they've noticed you, due to some silly stuff with programming. The black poles can sometimes get messed up as well, so you may need to look for them a bit. If the dice get jacked up and stuck on each other, you can spend another roll to get them right again, or just venture onto the treacherous terrain. Which dice you choose to roll from might make this more or less likely to happen, so think carefully.

Please do forgive a generous amount of jank, I made this alone with not enough time to support this mildly ambitious idea.
