In this game you can't move your player, but modify his AI with using carrots with different color. The colors get determined by the dice on the top of the UI


Have you ever wondered what would happen if you combine a hungry knight, carrots and some spinny dice? No? Me neither. But thats what you are gonna find out here.

Find your wait out of this messy chess like style game by using ... carrots?

a more detailed description is on the bottom of the page, but still please read everything else here if you have the time, as there are many important informations.

(This Game was made for the GMTK Game Jam)

IMPORTANT 

in one of the levels you the goal is hidden under the UI. Select a carrot to hide the blocking UI!

COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS (READ PLS BEFORE YOU RATE)

"There are no dice here" - At The top the color indicators are dice, its just a bit hard to see cuz its not 3D, but i tried to make it more clear with the animation

"Music is too loud" - you make it more quiet/louder in the settings

"You used the default unity UI buttons" - no its a selfmade one, they just look very similiar

Controls

click on the carrots in the gui to make them follow your mouse

click again to place it

space/play button to start the movement of the knight

r/restart button to restart the level

More in-depth explanation

Incase you didn't understood the mechanics, I'll try to explain it here a bit better.

At the top of the UI you can see the order of the carrot color and bottom right is the menu where you can select and place carrots. If you placed all of your carrots you can press Space/the play button to start the game. The player always tries to go to the carrot with the current color. But what is the current color? The color indicator which is grayed out marks the current color.

Now to the a bit more complex part. If the carrots color is currently selected, then you can go through it, if another color is selected it acts like a wall. The same rule applies to colored walls. 

Lastly there are X-Fields, which just basically prevent you from putting a carrot there

Hmmm... that name reminds me of something...

Fun and creative! It really made me feel smart when I found the solution to some of these puzzles, kudos!

Some feedback: for me the UI overlaps the level or partly leaves the screen sometimes.

The puzzles were cool! The music is a little repetitive, and the art could be more cohesive. Nice job on having a tutorial!

This was a pretty good puzzle game overall. It would be nice to have a menu option while playing the game though, not needed, but would be nice. 

Fun little puzzle game! Really good job on the tutorial since really helps out. Wish i spent more time on a good tutorial as well. Well done!
