Dicey Chickens
Dicey Chickens places you at the foot of a vertical battlefield where heroic chickens defend their castle against monsters that descend relentlessly. During the match, your fighters automatically roll their six-sided die, and each result triggers the corresponding attack upward on the screen. You watch the enemy line advance, gauge the urgency, then instantly reroll a die at the right moment to try to trigger a more useful shot. Pressure rises quickly, because creatures that reach the wall directly nibble away at the castle's health points. You must therefore survive five waves in each level, with a boss fight on the last wave, while enjoying each kill to gain experience and strengthen your defense during the round.
Within a single attempt, you start with one hero, then you can recruit up to three in total between waves, which significantly changes the pace and offensive coverage. Each hero has a die built around two types of attacks, sometimes complemented by shield, heal or speed faces, which creates very different feels from team to team. At each level up, you choose a spell from three choices, for example to enlarge certain faces, copy your strongest side or add effects like bleeding, poison, freeze or knockback. If you hold out until the end, you win the round and recover resources to permanently improve your heroes, your spells and your progression in a campaign of 100 levels spread across 10 worlds. Enjoy!
