ROLL THEM BONES - *READ BEFORE YOU PLAY!*

*BUG NOTE* The cursor disappears after your first playthrough -- to play again reload the page (it shouldn't take long!)

------BLAST, DODGE, & WEB-UP DIZZYING DICE------

In this twin-stick arcade action game, you play as a swashbuckling spider helping a pirate crew cheat at a... dicey... game. 

------THE GOAL------

Make sure dice stop on BONES to win bets and earn cash for the crew. 

------HOW TO PLAY------

  1. Left Click -> Blast dice with your BLUNDERBUSS to keep them rolling
  2.  Right Click -> Stick dice with a WEB to slow them down to a halt
  3. WASD -> Evade oncoming dice to not get SMUSHED

When a die hits anything, it will REROLL and slow down.
If a die stops on BONES, you win the wager! Anything else? You're out of luck.

You have 2 minutes to make as much cash for your crew as possible and prove your worth. 

Go for a high score, lest ye be cast out to the watery depths....

------SYNOPSIS ------

It be the Pirate Code: a SPIDER on the DICE TABLE gets THE SQUISH.

But aye, if you help TILT THE ODDS in the crew's favor, they might let ye see another day.

Here's a hint... buccaneers always BET ON THEM BONES.
