Sometimes you gotta roll the hard six

Made for the final Idle Thumbs Wizard Jam

Welcome to the Hard Six, a Wizard Jam game about rolling dice and working your way to through a six-level dungeon. When you encounter a monster roll the dice to use a skill. Your skills learn from their failures so roll that hard six! Be weary of the fruit as some will help and some will hurt you, but you can always trust the cheese.

The game is a bit minimal at the moment, but playing around with the combat.

Tips

• Take your time early in the game. Your skills are at their weakest, and the lower levels are less populated so you'll be better able to collect health and level up your skills
• Some enemies are stronger than others so you may want to choose which skill to level based on the enemy
