Our submission for the game jam Ludum Dare 55, with the theme "summoning"

You need to go fishing, and for that you need to summon some bait!

In this puzzle strategy game, roll dice and place them in the stick to execute the actions they contain. Summon worms from the dirt, and move them to the surface to collect them! But beware; if they escape out the sides, they're gone forever. Every 5 worms collected earns you 4 new dice. Collect as many worms as you can before you run out of dice!!

How to Play

  • Use the mouse to drag and drop dice
  • Roll dice to change the current faces
  • Drag dice to the Stick on the top right
  • When the Stick has two dice, you can Execute the actions – The actions shown on the dice will be performed on the matching color tiles
  • Amount of dice rolls is reset when you execute actions
  • When a worm gets above the top row of tiles, it is collected
  • Every 5 worms collected, you gain 4 new dice
  • Collect as many worms as possible before you run out of dice

Dice

  • Each die has a movement icon or a worm icon – movement indicates what direction the worm will move – worm indicates it will spawn new worms
  • The color of the die indicates what tile the action will be performed upon
  • The number on the die indicates how strong the action will be – For movement, it means how many tiles the worms will move – For worm, it means how many worms will be summoned on an individual tile
