You have a limited time on this earth. One day you will die.

How you spend it... is up to you.

If Time or Health reaches zero. the game is over. Balance your choices with this in mind

Click space to roll
Select event Card
Buy new Tiles for their face value
Rotate with WASD to select face
Left click to upgrade your dice

NOTE: Thank you all for playing. Due to questionable design decisions during the Jam: the store is not well explained in game

##### When you click on the tile you want to buy, you will have to invest that amount of that currency (IE: a + 3 social tile will cost 3 social up front, but reward 3 social if it is rolled)

-----------------------------------------

Done in 48 hours for Ludum Dare 44 - 4/26/2019-4/29/2019 Theme :Your life as currency

This was done in 2 days - approximately 24 hours of design time

Cool game! I like these type of strategy games where you are constantly trying to balance different stats.

I like optimization games, it's a good entry. Could have worked better with some more explainations on why you are losing stats when selection a slot on the dice ^_^

I was stuck once I had nothing more to buy, did it mean I won :D? Or should the store have replenished?

Nice work :)

Thanks for playing @xahell - The game contintues until you run out of health or time. It may have been a bug, (That i just patched). I just fixed it by including a skip button for both the cards and the store in the event you cannot afford any of the available tiles.

Great mechanics! Congrats!

Decent entry, I'd like to see some better and more consistent fonts. The font for the numbers on the dice and tiles just feels off.

Quit doesnt work for me. the mechanic is interesting. :hearts: the graphic and the mood are nice. :smile:

Seems like a cool idea and great music, but I couldn't really understand what I was doing. One thing that was particularly confusing was that I would click +4 for something, but then it would take 4 away from that category (e.g. -4, not +4).

Too bad I couldn't understand what was going on, because the over all aesthetic was great.

Interesting mechanics and simple yet fun gameplay. Well done!

Nice little dice rolling game. Sometimes the die went outside the camera view when rolling. Maybe use a transform.LookAt(DiceGameObject) to keep the camera locked on it. The gate model and clouds looked really cool. Some visuals could help with making the numbers feel more meaningful, such as showing a guy getting sick as his health decreases or a big stack of cash as your money goes up.

Very nice idea.
