Use your mouse, and click to match the dice to defeat your opponents. You can score the most points with the highest values, as well as the longest chains of matched dice.


I'm learning how to develop games, and this project is derived from an exercise in the book, The Essential Guide to Flash Games.

The rules could be better explaned

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, they could have been.

Not bad. You managed to draw me in enough to keep me playing several times. With a little work, this could be a really good game. Some suggestions:

1. Make each enemy unique. Give them some flavor text, even just one or two lines, so I know who I'm fighting.
1.b. But make the art consistent. It looks like every enemy image was pulled from a different source.

2. Include an actual 'How to Play' section. It took me a while to figure out that the number on the dice did affect the damage done, though I'm still not sure how, and I'm still unclear on what the different colors do.
2.b. Either remove the different colors, make the board bigger, or allow dice of different colors with the same number to make a combo. The blue dice were bad enough, but once you added the green ones, I was lucky if I ever found a grouping of more than two.

3. Send me a message if/when you improve this game. I think I'd really enjoy it, with the tweaks I outlined.

joeaaronsellers responds:

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll use them when working on future projects, for sure.

On my last two projects, it's been a common critique that I haven't been the best at explaining how the game rules work. I'll definitely make sure to remedy that for my next game..

This game is excellent and original!
