The Mad Circle For The Glorious Dice Tower

"The Mad Circle For The Glorious Dice Tower" is a dumb game which will wear out your mind until exhaustion.

Select the right dice at the right time! Beware of evil dice permutations! Raise the Dice Tower through six levels of growing madness!

Made in one day (I didn't had time to work on it Sunday, actually).

I put it also on itch.io: http://volatile-dove.itch.io/the-mad-circle-for-the-glorious-dice-tower (You can get it there if ever the links below do not work).

HOW IT'S DONE

Made with the Volatile Dove Engine (https://github.com/phrounz/volatile-dove-engine), an open-source C++ game engine I wrote myself over the last years. It's quite practical for Ludum Dare, you may check it out!

Graphics, sounds and pictures made by me, of course. Font is http://www.dafont.com/brady-bunch.font (free fonts are allowed as far as I understand the Compo rules). Dices are from a board game I have, I don't think they are subject to copyright, haha. Music by me... I won't be offended if you turn it off, even if it is part of the experience and evolves through the game :p
