Die Fiend!
You are an entropy gremlin. Eat shards and poop gems!
The six rooms of the Cathedral of Chance mirror the six aspects of life:
- Misfortune (green)
- Health (pink)
- Frost (blue)
- Fire (red)
- Lightning (purple)
- Strength (orange)
The Adventurer rolls the dice, but the gems in each room determine their odds.
With your help, they can overcome even the fiercest monsters!
Controls: arrow keys to move, space to deposit a gem when full.
Cheats: press R to restart, N to skip a monster (there are 22!).
If you're feeling a bit lost:
- To use an ability, the Adventurer needs to roll the matching pattern
- You control the little gremlin on the left side of the screen
- Eat green shards to lower the chance of rolling 1
- Deposit gems at the very top to increase the chance of rolling 6
- Or go all in on powerful spells (3, 4 or 5)
- Look out for monster's vulnerabilities and immunities!

The game looks really nice and controls are really good, however, I have no idea what im supposed to do. Maybe im just stupid, but I really didn't understand what i need to do, and i also could not the coorrealtion between the map on the left and whatever is happening with the dice on the right.

Yeah I realized too late that it's almost like playing two games at once. I've added some more explanation to the description, if that helps.
