Die in the Dungeon is a battle game where you defeat enemies using dice with different powers and effects. Play involves placing combinations of dice on a grid, making use of Scrabble-like multipliers and the dice combinations to trigger powerful attacks. This offers a simple premise that grows with your ambition to find complex and inventive combinations to win.

NotesAccessibility Notes

There are no time limits to your moves, and although you get a time at the end of each run (whether successful or not) it has no material effect on the game.

Text is generally high in contrast, but somewhat less than 1/20th of screen height. However, the "Finish" button you need to click to finish your turn is much lower in contrast and blends into the surroundings.

There is no movement in the game apart from an automatic progression from one room to the next, so navigation isn't an issue.

Although the dice are colour-coded to show their effect, hovering over them with the mouse provides a textual description of their effect as well. there are also small icons that indicate use under each dice available to play. Before you click Finish to end your turn, you can see the total effect your move will have.
