Sir Gambling Saves His Biscuits

You, the righteous knight Sir Gambling, have just been robbed of your favorite biscuits! You must storm the cast of the culprit, the evil wizard, Cukeez Er Betur, and use your gambling magic to defeat his army of magic cookies and reunite with your biscuits!

Manage your risk wisely! Your gambling magic becomes more power as you take on risk, but more risk increases the chance of negative effects caused by your gambling magic.

This game holds such wonderful features as:

• An array of 6 unique dice effects to wield in your battles
• Cool poems to find if you beat the game (or die trying)
• A small set of events randomized across the map to make each run unique
• A speedrun timer for proving you're the best gambler around
• Some pretty good sprites and artwork if I do say so myself
• And plenty more!

Controls:
Just the mouse! (or touchscreen for you mobile gamblers gamers)

How to Play:
Silly me! I didn't have time to add a tutorial, so if you don't want to be confused, here's a quick guide:

In combat, you have 3 main stats: Health, Block, and Risk. When your health hits 0, it's game over. Block just negates damage, but it doesn't persist from one combat to the next. Risk determines your risk multiplier, which is the multiplier for your dice rolls. The more risk you have, however, increases the chances of a negative consequence occurring each turn.

You have two attack dice. When you attack, both of them are rolled, and you can choose a roll to keep. The dice are then rerolled, and you may choose another roll to keep. The two rolls you chose can then be used to attack enemies, heal yourself, etc.

Once you defeat all of the enemies in a combat, you can choose a new face to add to one of your attack dice. If you take on more difficult fights, you get to choose from better die faces afterwards.

Anyways, I hope that helps, and I wish you the best of luck!

This game was made in 1 week for the Brackeys Game Jam (2025.2). The theme was "Risk it for the Biscuit," so obviously I had to make a game about gambling (risking it) for the purpose of a biscuit (biscuit), hence, "Sir Gambling Saves His Biscuits" was then created. This game was inspired by a couple games from the 2022 GMTK game jam: "Rolling for Royalty" and "Dice is the Way," so I recommend you check those games out as well. I kind of had to limit the scope of the project because of school starting back up, but I'm still very happy with what I've accomplished. Everything from the code to the sprites to the sound effects was made from scratch. I hope you enjoy, and I hope this fulfills all of your gambling desires.
