Die or Die Trying
A downloadable game for Windows
Die or Die Trying is a dice-based real-time boxing game. You will face a queue of fighters who are eager to defeat you. Roll the dice to fight, but manipulate them in your favor before they hit the ground.
How it works
- The number of die available is your "health", run out of dice and you die.
- Press [A] to roll as many dice you have
- When in slo-mo click and drag to rotate the die to land with the move you want to execute.
- Rolling a ☠ will get you stunned
- Rolling a 👊👊 (on the same face) will perform an insta kill slam move
Controls
[A] → Roll die
Click + Drag → Rotate die in your favour

Love the concept and the aesthetic! The character designs are so great.
It took a while to get the hang of it, as I didn't always understand how my actions on the dice were translating into actual moves - but the penny eventually dropped.
The dice manipulation is a really fun mechanic. On the surface, it seems rather simple, but after spending time with it I can see that it is a skill that can be mastered, requiring everything from spatial awareness and understanding to timing.
The only thing I'd really want for are some slightly tighter feedback systems. But the foundation is solid, and could support a host of cool mechanics like dice face customisation and learning new moves.
Thanks for the great game guys ^ ^
