Dice Escape Guide

To get the Dice Escape avatar, just send a score of 1,000 points or more. It must be one of the first three submitted scores of the day for Dice Escape.

Introduction
You must enter his evil dimension and free the dice! Control each dice by using the arrow keys. The topmost face of the dice must match the exit tile in order to finish the level. Every move that you take will make your bonus smaller, so try and complete the levels as quickly as possible. You will lose a life if time runs out, and you only get three lives.

There are 24 levels in Dice Escape. My step-by-step guide will tell you how to complete each level in the fewest moves possible, and includes tips to get a really high score. Neomail me if you have any suggestions for this page, or if there is anything you think I should add or change.

Lives and Points
Lives : You have three lives per game. You will lose a life if you run out of time, land on a lava-tile or click the button to reattempt a level. The game ends if you lose your third life. There are no bonuses for completing the game with extra lives remaining.
Time Pts: You have 59 seconds to complete each level, which is plenty of time. You receive a 'Time Bonus' of 19 points when you complete a level with all 59 seconds intact and lose a point every 3 seconds. If the timer reaches zero, you will lose one of your three lives and will have to restart the level.
Round Pts : The less moves you make, the more points you get. You start each level with 100 'Round Points', but every move you make loses you 4. Like with the Time Pts, they are only awarded once you complete the level. You will not lose a life if you reach zero round-points.
Coin Pts : Each stage contains a coin that will instantly award you an extra 5, 10 or 25 points when you pick it up. They are always positioned in the same place on the board, but its value is random.
WARNING! : If you minimize the game window at any time it will automatically restart the game, losing you your score!

Cheats
There are two codes in the game that, if typed correctly, will reset the timer. A valuable use of those codes can be found in the 'Tips' section below.

Tips
1. If you pick up a coin and then restart the level, a new coin will reappear in its place for you to get. Take advantage of this by clicking the 'restart' button every time you get collect a 25 point coin.
2. Do not collect coins if the points it awards are less than the round-points you will sacrifice trying to get it. It sounds pretty obvious, but it's a common mistake. My level-guide is written so that you avoid those coins.
3. The game occasionally 'flips' the maps from level 2 onwards_ The best thing to do when playing the mirrored version is to just restart your game, because my guide will not then be accurate.
4. You need a good connection to the internet and a computer that can run the game fast (3D accelerator card required), otherwise you will lose a lot of points from your time bonus.
5. The 'flybywire' and 'topdown' cheats have no benefit, so don't waste your time using them.
6. If you score 1,800 points or more, TNT will review your score before you are credited on the high-score table.

The Step-by-Step Guide
These are the directions to take to complete each level of Dice Escape in the minimum amount of moves - maximizing your 'Round Points'. I have also noted some tips on the guide to help you along. Make sure you have a read before starting each level.
I have listed the steps to take according to the coin that is generated when you begin the level. If, for example, you play a level with a 25 PC but there are no steps, then use the route for the coin immediately above (5 or 10 PC).
