Knoedel
A downloadable game for Windows
How to Play
Thanks for checking out my game! I ran out of time during the game jam and wasn't able to add an in-game tutorial, so here's a quick guide to get you started.
Objective
Your goal is to reduce the Count Down at the top of the screen to 0 within 10 rounds.
At the end of each round, the score you earned is subtracted from the Count Down. Plan your rolls carefully to reach zero before you run out of rounds!
Gameplay
The game is based on Yahtzee, so it helps if you're familiar with the basic rules.
- Drag dice to the top row to keep (store) them.
- Leave dice in the bottom row to re-roll them.
- When you're happy with your dice, click Score and choose the category you want to score.
Upgrades
After each round, you'll visit the shop where you can improve your dice.
- Upgrades appear as paint brushes.
- Drag a brush onto a die to apply it.
- The top face of that die is permanently replaced with the modified version.
- Each upgrade costs $10.
- You earn $20 at the end of every round.
Upgrade Effects
🔵 Blue – Add Adds +5 to the score when the die is scored.
🔴 Red – Multiply Multiplies your score by 1 + (die value × 0.1) when scored.
- 2 → ×1.2
- 4 → ×1.4
- 6 → ×1.6
🟡 Gold – Cash Earn $1 per pip on the die when it is scored. (A 5 grants $5, a 6 grants $6.)
Good luck, and thanks so much for playing!
This is my first-ever game jam entry, so there may be a few bugs or rough edges. I learned a lot making it, and I really appreciate you giving it a try. I hope you have fun!
