Information & HELP
Sorry we ran out of time and the in-game instructions are unclear. The tutorial stages ("village") may not be intuitive.
Here we provide some additional instructions.
Dice Quest is a turn-based game. In every turn, you roll the dice to determine your action.
- Click to select dices for re-roll.
- No matter how many dices being chosen, 1 reroll chance will be used.
The dice
All dices have 6 faces. Each face are associated with a type ("image") and a number.
- Type: will be used for patterns (your special spells).
- Number: base attack of the dice.
Spells
Enemy rolls first then the player. After you are satisfied with your dices (or you have no rerolls), your action will be determined.
- Each dice can be used multiple times for different patterns. However, 1 pattern will only be checked once.
Casting the spell
- Firstly, dices that triggers the spell will be used for an additional dice attack round.
- Then the spell will be casted (with basically no animation).
Spell info
During combat, information of spells will be shown on the left of the screen.
- "oooo" means the pattern's shape. Dice "face" types are color-coded.
- Spell name.
(absolutely no naming sense) - Sum of all dices' attack within this spell (will be used for an additional attack round).
- Extra damage of the spell. Green = healing.
Frozen dice
Water spells may freeze dices. Frozen dices cannot be rolled and its current value will be used.
Frozen dices will be shown with blue border.

solid concept! I love the central idea of it and it could absolutely be grown into a fuller old-school-style rpg. reminds me a lot of 90s-era rpgs, and I mean that in a good way. the balance is way off but balancing this type of combat is super time-consuming and you did great for a gamejam. the slot-machine style visual of the dice roll looks good as hell, a great base to start from for polishing up. ultimately it's a great idea for a combat system that just needs a ton of balancing, playtesting, and polishing up before it will truly shine. A+ for effort and idea, but no wonder you ran out of time haha
Thank you for playing !!! So glad that you liked it.
Balancing them is indeed a nightmare xDDD
Interesting concept of gameplay.
