Match or Die
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Match or Die is a relaxing match-3 game where you roll a dice instead of swapping tiles. Pick the dice you want to roll and replace it with one of the neighbours dice. If you fail to make any match, you lose a shield, or worst ... DIE.
By Rolling the 4, the player might replace it by one of its neighbour, a 6 a 5 or a 3. The 6 has 50% chance to replace the 4 because there is two 6.
Pick carefully the dice you want to roll by checking which one have a higher chance to make a match.
Too easy? Press [3] on the title screen to switch the hard mode or [1] to make it even chiller.
Scoring when dice are matched, the game adds their dots to the score. A dice of 6 is worth 6 points, 5 is worth 5 points, etc. There is no multiplier or combo system.

This is actually a pretty clever take on the match-3 genre! I've been playing it off and on, and it's really addicting - I've been slowly learning how to turn unsafe rolls into guaranteed matches by using my shields wisely. Of course, there's still some luck involved, and you can lose a 3/4 good roll four times in a row... but that's just the risk you run, right?
