Modal Dice

Modal Dice is a dice-based rougelike deckbuilder created for the Bigmode Game Jam.

Try and work your way through 10 floors of a dungeon to try and defeat the final boss. Each turn players roll and spend dice to play cards. The twist is that the most powerful cards can only be played when you have the right dice values-- so think carefully about the order you want to play your cards! 

Instructions 

Cards come in two types-- standard and MODE cards.

• Standard cards have a number in the corner. You must use that many dice to play them.
• MODE cards have a die face in the corner, and can only be played when that dice face is the modal value of your set. (Recap from math class-- the mode is the number that comes up most often in your set). The modal dice will be highlighted so it's easier to see
  • Playing a MODE card will use all of that die, and the effect scales with the number of dice. Make sure you plan your turns around how to use these cards.

Other Things

• Mouse over status effects to read what they do
• Click and drag a card onto an enemy to use it. If the card targets a die, drag it onto the die to cast it.
• When playing a standard card, you can select which dice to discard. Left click the dice and pick 'confirm' to discard them. Try and discard the right ones to allow you to play the more powerful cards later!
• The fire effect on dice indicates which ones are the "modal" dice (the face you have the most of). It's just there to make things easier to see, it doesn't have any gameplay impact.
• Press Ctrl+M to mute the game. Pop on some music in the background because I ran out of time to make some! The Dicey Dungeonssoundtrack works well
