I want to love this game. It isn't like it is forcing me to spend 30 min to optimise each card to the maximum usefullness it can be, but it's like giving a crackhead 10g of coke and then saying:¨I didn't force him to¨ when he inevitably does the destructive thing. I like this game, I really do, but I can't play it, because when I use the bigger dice to reroll something for the 200th time, it isn't fun.

Gotta be my favorite mechanic in the jam... Congrats on the spotlight! I loved the art but the ability to roll for any number on the field blew my mind. Here's a link to my playthrough https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1542931595?t=00h40m40s
That was really creative, I love that everything can be rerolled.
I laughed when I rerolled my health into 1.
This is one of the best games on the jam, hand down.
Congrats on creating such a gem :D

Simple Ogre LuckAmazing game ! It's really fun and very well made. I always wanted to try again !
The one issue I have with the concept is that since you can stall some fights pretty much forever, then the RNG part of rolling numbers disappear as you can roll until you get exactly what you want. Which would be ok I guess but it takes forever and isn't very fun.

A Dicey QuestFantastic style and GREAT sound design, i couldn't help but laugh when I first attacked the caterpillar. Fun core game loop that really nailed that "one more time" mentality. Really great entry, i hope you expand on it in the future. I also love that you can straight re-roll any number, still can't get past the snail though

Dice Knight 2600Such a cool concept! I struggled at first, but then realized that the game is fairly easy to break by stalling in the first few easy fights to upgrade every card in the deck. There should be some mechanic that forces fights to end after some time to prevent me from getting an overpowered deck by fight #2, because then the rest of the game is too easy.
As a suggestion, maybe only allow a limited number of reshuffles per fight?
Easily the best game I've played in the game jam so far. Being able to reroll literally any number on screen is an amazing concept. Really creative idea, fantastic presentation, and a joy to play. The ramifications for being able to change any number are very well thought out. As a game jam game, I give it full marks, and sincerely hope it makes it into the video. In the future, I think there are a few ways you could polish it up more. Namely, I think it would be interesting if the number you roll and the number you're changing were swapped. For example, if you were changing a health of 18 to a 6, you die would now consist of the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,18. Maybe some kind of resource you could use to mulligan your die. I'm sure there are other ways you could improve, and I really hope I get to see more from this game after the jam is over.
THIS!!!! This game is amazing. I managed to win, after a LOT of thought. I loved every second of it. The ONLY, and I mean ONLY, bad thing about this game… is the music. Everything else is just amazing. Great job.
5/5 everything.

I Dice Fish!Amazing game! I really love this unique idea of rolling literally every number. Such a cool twist, the difficulty was good enough, the art style is cute, and the voice lines are hilarious XD. There were enough cards and enemies to keep the game interesting, and also pretty polished. Great submission, well done!
