With the given topic of “Roll the dice” I decided to take part in the GMTK Game jam 2022. Originally with a team of two of my colleagues we soon released that we wanted to do different things and I proceed with Itchy dice on my own.
Itchy Dice combines the well-known Tetris formula of placing blocks with solving math equations. To resolve a line, the equation built with the dice must be mathematically correct.
After the initial game jam, I decided to spend another week working on this game refining a lot of the mechanics and resolving some performance issues. Turns out solving equation recursively can have an impact on performance. Who would have thought.
The game can be played in any modern browser on https://yorschor.itch.io/itchydice
