Introduction

Attack of the Gummy Dice is a rather unique idea for a less unique game concept. The game revolves around destroying groups of gummy dice that began attacking Roo Island after disguising themselves as delicious dessert delicacies. Your job in this game is to smash groups of the gummies (they must all be the the same color/flavor due to consistency differences) before they completely overrun the island! Told you it was unique.

Controls & Instructions

In order to destroy the gummy dice, you must group them together in combos of five or more dice (any less and the effort just isn't worth it). Groups of dice will appear at the top of the screen for you to drop. Use the s and a keys to rotate the group of dice clockwise and counter-clockwise respectively and the arrow keys to move the dice around the grid.

There are six colors of basic dice, these are ones you need to group in combos of five or more to destroy. There are also some dice that cause special things to happen:

	Bomb Die: Clears the entire column that the dice lands on.
	Morph Die: Turns all dice in the column to the same color.
	Rock Die: Can only be destroyed by a bomb dice.
	TPOSG Die: Guess who! It's Oliver! This is a very helpful die, destroying the column it lands on and the eight columns around it.

Also watch out for dice that cycle through the normal colors. Make sure you time the release right so you get the color you want. The dice stops cycling through the colors when it hits the column.

Tips & Strategies

There are many different strategies that can be used in this game, most you will discover yourself the first time you play. There are some tips however that everyone can benefit from:

• Get rid of tall towers. Unless they are at the very back of the screen, tall towers of dice will block your view of dice behind them. Plus, blocks can randomly pop up from the bottom causing your tower to hit the top of the screen, ending your game.
• Use special dice wisely. Stone dice should be dropped as low as possible, while bomb, TPOSG, and Morph dice should be dropped on the tallest towers.
• Make large combos Especially in the beginning levels, larger combos give more points.
• Practice. If you've already sent your three scores for the day, try playing Zen mode to practice without any interruptions.
• Choose the right keyboard setup. Choose setup on the main menu to choose a layout for your arrow keys. Pick the one that makes the most sense to you.

Special There are quite a few special things thrown into this game. Type gummydice to change the color of the dice waiting to be dropped. This cheat can only be used once, so it is rarely helpful. Be sure to save this in case you run across a time when you really need it. Type delightful to change the dice waiting to be dropped into morph dice. Save this cheat until you have a lot of tall towers close together and you have a large group of active dice (four or five). Type explode to change the dice waiting to be dropped into bomb dice. Again, save this cheat until you have a lot of tall towers and a large group of active dice. When you are sending your score, click on the Blue Blumaroo's eyeball (the white part) to see a jelly covered Oliver pop up to say hello.

Conclusion

Attack of the Gummy Dice is a very well rounded puzzle game. It's not overly hard to get a good haul of Neopoints each day, but if you're going for the trophy, be prepared for a long game. It's best to try at the beginning of the month when scores are reset. Before the big players have a chance to rack up huge scores. Usually, the boredom is the hardest challenge if you're good enough to go for the trophy.
