Critical Roll Reversal

This game was made for the GMTK Game Jam 2023 - with the theme roles reversed!

Play as the goblins, defending their homes against trolls and adventurers!

The key to this game is the dice next to each character - the red die is rolled to deal damage when attacking, and the blue die is rolled to provide defence. If you roll the maximum damage value, you will get a critical roll on your next turn!

Beware, however, as each time you attack an opponent, the rolls are reversed and you swap dice! Will they hit you with your own critical roll next turn, or can you steal back the dice just in time?

Note: the button icons, character sprites and background artwork were not made during this game jam, I picked them up in a Humble Game Making Bundle in ~2016
