A downloadable game

(First game jam hype!)

Introduction:

Try to get the dice to the goal without crossing your path. You can only move the number of spaces rolled on the dice. The shape of your next move is also random, so think carefully! 

Instructions:

Used tiles (unavailable) are shown in red. The green tile indicates the goal. If you attempt to move in a direction such that your path crosses the used tiles or goes out of bounds, you will see a grey indicator showing that the move is not allowed.

Press 'R' to reset the level if stuck (no time for an A* algorithm, unfortunately).

Hover 'mouse' to change movement direction.

Press 'Space' to confirm the move.

Press 'i' to see the instructions screen.

The level will reset automatically if there are no available moves (but not if the win tile is enclosed so use 'R' for this).

Disclaimer:

Since the game was programmed in my own game engine, windows may give a malicious software warning, which requires hitting the "run anyway" button on the popup. If you have any concerns about the safety of the files, you can see the engine source, game source, and game screenshots for proof of it being legitimate.

If the window does not fit on your screen, you may need to lower your Windows zoom settings below 150%.

This game was tested on a 64-bit Windows 10 machine with a 1920x1080 resolution screen. Unfortunately, it does not work on other operating systems.
