What if the computer played the game while you, the player, chose the "random" numbers?

Pick out members of the audience to steer the fate of the battle! Don't be too careful though, or else the spectators will get bored!

This game was made within 48 hours for the GMTK Game Jam 2022, under the theme: "Roll of the Dice"

How to Play

Before each turn plays out, you will be prompted to select two members from the audience. You can select each audience member by clicking on them with your left mouse button. The number of pips (dots) on each "volunteer" are used as what would otherwise have been randomly-generated numbers.

Your goal is to slay the skeleton without dying, but be sure to keep the audience invested while you're at it! Certain moments in the battle will determine whether the interest level goes up or down. If either the level of interest or the hero dies, it's game over!

Known Issues

  • Hovering over and selecting audience volunteers is a little janky, I hope to polish that up after the game jam's rating period is over.
  • Slight audio delays, more noticeable on the web version.

This section will be updated as more bugs are discovered.
