Dicey Run Construction Site

I didn't have enough time to finish the game so I just decided to make a sandbox out of all the mechanics I have implemented which is everything except for the endless runner features. It's more like a square physics simulator than an actual game lol but to be honest it was the best I could do in the amount of time I had. I will probably finish the game after the jam but no guarantees on that.

If you want to know what the game is supposed to be, I have published the readme online.

I apologize for not being able to finish the game. I probably would have been able to finish it if I didn't have to do other stuff. I only had about 12 hours to make the game and I am writing this at 2am right now.

There's probably a whole bunch of bugs that I didn't discover but I did try all the features in the game before publishing. Not that it will matter anyway because who's going to be playing this not proper game for a while.

I specifically know of one issue where the dice movement speed is inconsistent depending on its size. I wanted the dice when bigger to move slower but the physics engine says no and does the exact opposite while I have to counter it. And it doesn't help that I have no time and I'm dumb at math and physics either. Take a look at the code for calculating the movement speed if you want.

Controls:

When dices are inside the blue box, they will be target for the actions which you can perform:

  • Jump  - Left click (If you hold left click, you get a stronger jump)
  • Split dice - Right click and drag to the direction you want the split dice to go
  • Merge dice - Hold down M to make the dices merge into a bigger dice

You can also enable throw mode which only exists in the sandbox. To use it you have to click on normal mode to switch to throw mode and use left click and drag to the direction you want to throw then release. It works like split dice but the dice just gets thrown rather than split.

You can also spawn dice in sandbox mode using the UI in the top left corner.
