Shift Roll

PLEASE READ: RUN THE GAME IN FULLSCREEN. Forgot to set different screen sizes.

A drag racing game where every shift is a roll of the dice. Just press space to start the race and to shift gears.

Every time you shift, you roll a die. The result gets added to a multiplier corresponding to which gear you are in (for example, the multiplier for first gear is 10, second gear is 8, and so on). This is than added to your total speed. Whoever has the highest total speed wins.

A very basic prototype, essentially a proof-of-concept, for an idea I had while playing around with other dice-based mechanics. There was going to be more stuff added to it, like different opponents in different stages, and the ability to mod your car so that you can change the multipliers, add to your total speed, or reduce your opponent's speed. Unfortunately, work got in the way, as well as my own attention span. As it stands, I'm just happy to have put something out, even if it has no audio whatsoever. Once the jam is over, I'll be adding more to it, a lot more, so watch for that.
