Porko, the Dice Game
You wake up inside a strange, dice-like room, way up in the sky, with a dice, a button, some screens... and pigs. Lots of pigs. You vaguely recall a children's game you played many years ago. What was it called again? Something porcine, perhaps?

Instructions
Install like any other Luanti game.
To play, you must reach a score of 100 or more before the AI does, by rolling the die, or passing. If you roll anything but a one, great, you add it to your score, and keep rolling, or pass, if you wish. Otherwise, your score gets reset to where it was last at the start of your turn.
Funny, short dice game
Very simple game, but pretty fun to play a few times! It's like yahtzee - 90% luck and a little bit of skill thrown in to make it interesting. The strategies of the game itself are fairly simple - if you get anything other than a 1, the roll's value is added to your score. If you hit a 1, then you lose everything you gained on that turn, and you can pass your turn to avoid the 1 coming up. The computer isn't too smart, so it often over extends and loses all it's 'profit', but occasionally it can go off on some really good streaks with it's fairly reckless attitude. I stuck with a strategy of doing 2-5 rolls at max and passing, and won on my first try. But the second time I played, the computer got off to a great start and I wasn't able to come back. Losing the game is quite terrifying, as the pigs suddenly turn on you and scream your headset out. Overall, a fun dice game, but probably needs just a bit more strategy to keep players interested for longer. :)
Puzzling, and Painful to lose...
This game is a fun little puzzle. But be careful, you are gambling your life. Btw turn on damage for a little extra fun...
