The Luckiest Hero's Lucky Guardian

A prototype of a game idea for the GMTK 2022 game jam.

You play as the lucky deity Aren,  guardian of the  oblivious hero. By clicking and dragging to turn the Wheel of Fate, you can control the outcome of each turn in their battle against the enemy. The center slot determines the outcome, with higher values resulting in a greater likelihood of success, and sometimes more extreme results.

Of course, in this prototype, winning is as simple as selecting high numbers when the hero is about to attack, and low numbers for the enemy. The plan was to design different action types which would impact how many RNG slots were consumed each turn, and also restrict your opportunities to turn the wheel, forcing you to plan ahead in the sequence.
