THE SIX FACED WAR MACHINES

CAST YOUR DICE UPON THE FIELD OF BATTLE...

The Six Faced War Machines is a unique twist on the tower defense genre, wherein you aim and shoot explosive, animatronic dice at oncoming hordes of deathbots.

We drew inspiration from RTS games like Starcraft, as well as pull-to-aim mechanics from modern classics like Angry Birds and Peggle.

The Six Faced War Machineis a hard-to-master fusion of dissimilar yet strangely harmonious genres that we really hope you'll enjoy!

HOW TO PLAY
  • Click and drag on 'loaded' towers to launch your explosive dice-mechs at oncoming foes.
  • Left-click to select dice in the field, and right click to order them to move towards a location.
  • With a dice-mech selected, right-click on a nearby dice tower to load! The dice-mech will mount itself in the tower.
  • If your dice-mechs take damage, load them at the base to heal them.
  • Don't let the enemies reach your base! If your health reaches zero, you lose!
  • Survive all six waves to win!

TIPS
  • Your dice-mechs automatically shoot at nearby enemies, but their guns are slow and weak.
  • Dice-mechs launched from towers roll until they come to a stop and then release a powerful AOE attack for damage equal to their top face value.
  • Dice-mechs mounted in towers can still shoot, and they get a small bonus to their range. 
  • Dice mechs are vulnerable to counterattacks from enemies when not mounted in towers. 
  • If your dice die, do not despair (they'll respawn at your base!)

Awesome mechanics combo, I enjoyed playing the game! I am using a trackpad so admittedly that left and right mouse controls were a little tough to get used to but I still managed to survive a good while. I'm also a fan of the music, got me hyped to play! Great work and I can't wait to see how this evolves.
