Overview

Roll the Dyes is a game where you roll a ball of dye on a quest to add color to all of the levels—in this case, just the one. This is effectively a tech-demo.

I made this for two jams at once; 2022's GMTK Game Jam, and Aesthetician Labs' exprmt48 for 2022; the themes were "Roll the Dice" and "Don't think too hard" respectively. This game is the result of interpreting the first theme in such a way that required the least conceptual legwork; something without too much tricky brainstorming, something that could reuse code to handle a lot of boilerplate.

As only one person doing this jam casually,  I didn't have time to get very far, even when importing code from past projects; many things like the movement code needed improvement/bug-fixing. I "wasted" a lot of time on technically unnecessary things, but I learned from them, became a marginally better developer in the process, and felt smart. For that reason, I'm happy with the result!
