ItchyDice

--- Originally Created for the GMTK 2022 Gamejam --- 

Did you ever have the dreams of having to solve math's while enjoying your free time? Me neither. That said I was procrastinating finding an Idea for the GMTK 2022 Game jam so I played Tetris.... 

Now you have to deal with this mess ;) 

Story: 

You play a evil gamedev who wants to ddos the itch io website so other gamedevs cant submit their games. The higher your score the the longer the website stays down!

Controls:

You can move the current block with the arrow keys.

You can use "C" to hold your current peace an swap it with your inventory 

Press Space to drop the Dice immediately to the floor. 

Rules:

Blocks in this game only disappear when you spell a valid arithmetic expression. (e.g "2+2=4") That's how you get points.  This works horizontally as well as vertically.

There are the six dice number 1 -6, the operators "+,-,*,/,=,!=" as well as two special dice the vortical and horizontal bomb. Those clear the whole row/line and allow you to do some cleaning if you build yourself into a corner.

Note: The Exit Button is a relict from the original Windows Build. Clicking it in the WebGL version will just softlock the game :) 

Please leave me a comment how you like it. Bugs you found ides how to make it more engaging? I want to hear it all!! 

Thanks yall for playing.
