Shooty Shooty Dice Game

You're a strong, independent dice who don't need no hand to roll. Your sworn enemy: the playing card, and their creepy magic sky hands.

Code hosted here: https://gitlab.com/DoctaJones/gmtk-rollofthedice

Gameplay

• Hold "Space" to spin the dice. Release to fly in the direction of your mouse. There are three charge levels for throw power depending on how long you hold "Space"
• Hold "Left Click" to shoot.
• Hit "R" to explode any current moneybags.

You get a different weapon depending on what the result of your roll is. Only two weapons because time.

You can only shoot when you're stationary.

Landing on a 1 makes you unlucky, meaning you can't shoot or roll better than a 1 until you move through a spotlight, resetting your bad luck and granting you good luck.

If you have good luck by rolling through a spotlight, you can only get a 3 or a 4.

Don't let those nasty cards touch you.

Thank YOU, person looking at this page

Thanks for checking out this silly game! This is my first game jam, and first game thing I've posted to the internet. I made all the "art" and sound effects, so this was a really fun learning exercise for me and I'm proud of what I got done this weekend. Art is so hard. I made the hands by taking a picture of my own hand, loading that giant image into Aseprite, then reducing the sprite ratio by...a lot. Can't believe it worked. The code structure also got much worse as time went on, and I apologize for the crazy inconsistent sound effect volumes.
