Place and roll dice supplied by your weapons to take down the monsters on the battlefield before your health runs out. If you make it out alive, you will receive a nice reward and a choice for your next fight.

Be aware that the final boss is quickly approaching...

How to Play

  • Start by dragging out an available die from one of your weapons onto the bottom row of the battlefield.
  • Select a die with the left mouse button, and use the WASD keys to move it.
  • Every die has a limited number of moves it can make during your turn.
  • Land your die on top of enemies; the number on the top is the amount of damage you'll do.
  • Inspect your selected die from all angles by holding down the right mouse button.
  • Weapons must have all their dice used up before they can be replenished next turn.
  • The red bars above enemies indicate the damage they will do on their turn.

Bugs

  • Mountains AND Glacier can also soft-lock so best avoid them too if you wanna go far. This is due to an unfortunate bug with validating spawn positions.
  • Ballista does not work when positioned to the right of enemies. 
  • Daggers only activate their special when present on the battlefield.
  • Ethereal Needle only works sometimes.
  • Spiked Shield may not work correctly.

Tips

  • Restore health heals you for 50% of your max health, and increase health gives you a 15% max health increase and heals that amount too.
  • Javelin is underrated because of its speed.
  • Stun weapons are OP.
  • Plan your moves before starting to roll dice.

Some more detailed instructions would be nice. I couldn't figure out how to make a move. I drag the dice around, but the only thing that works is hitting "End Turn". 

EDIT: Ahh... the die go on the row on the bottom. Sorry, that wasn't clear to me in the UI.

Same, I read the rules here on the Itch page and skipped the in-game Instructions since I read the ones on this page below the game :P  
The in-game instructions are much more clear.

Edit: Game is tons of fun btw!  Love the combination of strategy and luck.  I have been playing over and over to try and get to the boss. 
(I got stuck twice on Mountain levels because no enemies spawned, I can send screenshots if you want.  Tried rolling my dice around the whole map to make sure, and nothing attacked me between turns so I think it's just empty)
