The Dogshank ReDICEtion

Fullscreen recommended, but if not, use WASD and not arrow keys or else the page'll scroll.

This is the newly updated version of the game, distinct from the jam version.

Changes made include adding collectible upgrades, making this into a metroidvania, showing the walking direction of enemies and making their routes more visible, making the game fullscreen so you can get a wider view, making the graphics slightly voxel-like, among plenty of other tweaks.

The original jam version is at https://notthefuture.com/dogshank/jam/

Also it works on mobile, but not on itch; you have to go to my site: https://notthefuture.com/dogshank/

Original jam description follows below:

Controls:

Arrows or WASD: Move

Space: Roll die

R: Reset to checkpoint

Goal: Escape from prison and make it back home!

A ball and chain follows behind you, which, while preventing you from directly turning around, also blocks enemies.

Bones are an optional collectible.

I was working on this (a solo game -- art, music, code made by me all during the jam) at the same time as being the only programmer on another game in the jam (Don't Get Fired), so unfortunately because I had to last minute fix that game I didn't have time to even make sure that this was even completable. But don't worry, I've now beaten my own game, but it definitely does take a bit of persistence, great luck, and strategy toward the end. On the other hand, I didn't test an all bones run, so I'm not even sure now if that's doable.

Also, as a hint about enemy behavior -- it's only partially random. Enemies have set paths and only make a decision on hitting a solid wall, or an invisible block that's only solid to enemies.
