Dice Will Roll Prototype

Dice Will Roll is a rogue-like deckbuilder heavily inspired by games like Balatro and Slay the Spire.

DISCLAIMER:
This is an extremely early proof-of-concept prototype.  There is currently no tutorial other than a few tool tips. (see below for instructions)
This is to get a feel for the gameplay loop. The aesthetics, power up choices and HUD are not set in stone (pun intended).

FULL RELEASE:
Lots and LOTS of dice.
Special power-up geodes (think the Jokers in Balatro)
Unlockable Content
Better Graphics
Challenge Modes

INSTRUCTIONS/SHOP SCREEN:
PIP: a dot on a die face
HAND: amount of times you can score in a stage
ROLL: amount of times you can roll before you must score during a stage
MOD: upgrades to your die faces

This is a testing grounds for various mechanics that could be in the game. Click on the button of the effect you'd like to purchase, then click the corresponding item. (Die, face, pip etc.)

Mod/Pips: During the shop phase in between scoring rounds, you can buy upgrades and modifications for your dice (or new dice). Mods add 1 of an effect to your roll, but do not change the value of the dice. IE, if a die face with 3 is rolled and has 2 ATK mods, it scores 5 but is considered a 3 for hand rank.

ATK mod adds 1 to die face when scored
GOLD mod increments gold pips this stage by 1 when scored (bottom left)

Adding a mod to a pip, (click buy mod, click the pip)


You can also add a mod to the die faces themselves! This doubles the effect of each pip that is modded (3 ATK mods on a red face becomes +6). In this screen, scoring the side with six would score 8, (6 + 2ATK) and bank 4 gold pips(+2 * 2 gold pips)

You can also combine mods on a side, but not pips. This will double the effects of both ATK mods and GOLD mods. That six would score 8, and 4 gold pips. The red-faced five would have no additional bonuses as there are no mods in the pips.



Tip: Make sure you are also buying and upgrading new dice as you go. The amount of rocks needed to score scales quickly so the amount you score each round needs to keep up.
