Battle Dice

A chill Player-vs-Player (PvP) party game of 1 to 2 players and bots in which competitors control a six-sided die with the main objective being to take out the enemy die.

Throughout the match, there are random powerups that players can pick up by rolling over them to gain a certain edge over their opponent. 

Random chance and RNG are baked into all the mechanics of the game to guarantee equal chances and chaos at every corner.

Mechanics:

Movement

Movement is very simple, players move their die using WASD or the arrow keys. 

Combat

In order to initiate a combat sequence, players need to dash into one another on the field. Once they do, the player with the higher number on the top-facing side of the die wins, subtracting ONE point from the total of the top-facing side of the loser’s die. The minimum number that a player can go to is ONE, and once reached, getting a subsequent hit on that side will deduce 1 hitpoint. Once 3 hit points are lost, the player loses the game.

Dash

The dash mechanic is the only way that players can cause damage to each other. The dash propels the die 6 tiles facing the direction that the player is moving in, and should they collide with another die, the combat sequence is initiated.

Powerups

Throughout the map, there are randomly spawning powerups that are meant to give an edge to players. Players will not be able to tell what the powerup is until it is picked up, giving them further incentive to seek them out. Note: The powerups are incremental, meaning that picking up multiple at once will not cancel the effect, but rather, add them up, and the same effect can stack.

Shrinking Map

In order to avoid stalling and drawn out games, the map’s borders are deadly to the dice and they take damage by colliding with the edge. It is super punishing and a few bumps are enough to eliminate the dice.
