Crusade to Die

About

Crusade to Die is a frantic arcade challenge built in just two days for the GMTK Game Jam 2022. You control a small bard who must dodge skeletons while collecting coins on a shifting grid of tiles. The core loop involves locking onto specific tiles and moving them to create safe paths or better positions. When you need fresh options, grab a D6 to generate new tiles or use a D4 to reroll the current layout. One mistake ends your run because getting hit causes you to lose valuable tiles instantly. The game shines through its simple yet tight mechanics that force quick decision making. Since this title was created for a jam with a dice theme, every roll feels like it matters right now. Players on PlayPile have noted the high difficulty but appreciate the clean controls and immediate feedback. It is an indie project that relies purely on timing and luck rather than complex story elements or long progression systems. The short development time shows in how focused the experience feels without any fluff or unnecessary menus.
