Luckmaker - GMTKJam 2022

You are a dice, you have just been rolled and your one and only job is to help your player get the number they desire, what they don't know is that the table is a battleground, you are a soldier, and the forces of randomness that permeate the universe are your enemy, they graveyard dice rise again, don't let them draw to close lest they drain the luck from your knucklebones and turn you into a husk like them, hunting down those dice who yet still battle on.

Goal:

Destroy all the dice husks that seek to steal your luck, keep them at a distance as just their presence nearby will drain you dry, run out of luck and you're done. Destroying dice will return a bit 'o luck back to you, the more luck you have at the end the better the roll your player receives, can you score that ever elusive Nat20?
