Super Space Dice Blasters is a Shmup where enemies don't drop upgrades when defeated, but rather, they drop dice; you can keep three of the results from these dice at a time, and use them to receive back health, and obtain extra effects for certain combinations.

Press Spacebar to shoot, move with WASD/directional keys.

Hold shift to strafe (move at half speed).

Pressing 1 discards the first result (on top), 2 discards the second result (middle) and 3 discards the third result (bottom).

Pressing Z uses all your three dice. Every time you use your dice, you gain back health equal to the highest value dice result of the three used. Certain patterns can achieve the following:

  •  All odd-numbered results: Bounce weapon. This weapon shoots two bullets at once in rapid succession at a 45 angle, in opposed directions to the other. They also bounce, allowing you to spread out bullets.
  •  All even-numbered results: Missile launcher. Not very fast, but high damage; the missile launcher creates a blast either on impact or after it stops, which stays for a second or so, damaging enemies that enter its radius.
  •  Ordered results (either regular or reverse order): Plasma ray. Incredibly rapid fire weapon. Each bullets doesn't deal much damage, but the flux of bullets is sure to destroy any enemy in your path.
  • Same three results: Gain invincibility for a short time, and gain back all your life.
