CatRPG: Dice Defense – Jam Build Notes (Post-Submission)
Thanks for checking out my #ScoreSpaceJam build! I shipped with ~60 seconds left, so here’s what’s in and what’s next.
✅ In this build
Fast tower defense loop (free-pathing enemies)
Dice roll minigame that modifies stats
Basic leaderboard via PlayFab (email required to submit)
Guest play works without an account
⚠️ Known issues
Archer fires slower than intended; Fishmonger fires too fast (balancing soon)
Occasional targeting weirdness at high enemy speeds
Some UI rough edges; minimal SFX/juice in jam build
🎯 Short-term plan
Allow score submit without email (or add local leaderboard fallback)
Add SFX, particles, and quick polish passes
Tighten tower fire-rate + targeting; unify projectile handling
QoL: clearer dice effects UI
🕹️ How to play
Place towers, hit “Start Next Wave,” roll the dice to modify stats.
Survive as long as you can and post your score (guest play works; leaderboard submit currently needs email).
Thanks for playing—feedback is gold! 💙
