Roll your dice through a maze of black dice to reach your goal. Black dice are placed within the maze to earn points. Once you interact with a black die, you must interact with at least three other black dice before you can interact with it again! Be cautious! You have a limited number of moves to complete the levels before reaching the target number without exhausting your available moves. POWERUPS You have three power-up features available at the bottom of the screen to assist you. You can use these to make it easier to pass levels: - Bonus Dice - Max Value - Shuffle In addition to all this, in challenge levels, you can take on rival red dice.
