Great atmosphere, perfectly fitting theme! Very fun too. I thought it would be harder to beat, but it turned out to be quick. Good job!
For sure, victory can be achieved very quickly if you're lucky! That's why we've been focusing on getting as much gold as possible when replaying. Thank you for playing, glad you enjoyed!
I love the atmosphere you got going!
Thank you!
I like the aesthetic and concept!
Thank you for playing!
Very fun and addictive, it would be nice to have more "powers" in the dices
Yes! We had many ideas for that. Glad you enjoyed, thanks for playing!
Fits perfectly with the theme. The visuals, the atmosphere man, 10/10!! Great job!
Woah, thank you! Much appreciated.
I really like the art and the atmosphere is created perfectly through the visuals and sound! However, I found the game confusing at the start but I understood it after a few turns, well done!
Thank you for the nice comment! Without a proper tutorial we did expect people to get confused. I'm glad it you figured it out!
Nice one! The atmosphere of this game is top notch, well done! The gameplay is simple yet very fun and rewarding, the risk factor is really well implemented here.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed the game.
Interesting concept! I liked the strategy of knowing when to take a risk or not, the rerolls definitely helped. The visuals look great as well, I love the spooky atmosphere
Thanks! Yeah, the rerolls are super helpful in this type of game, I love 'em.
I didn’t understand what was happening on my first turn but it was pretty intuitive after, it’s a fun risk taking game! The atmosphere was also well done, though I wish Mr Spooky Skeleton did something more menacing if we bust.
Thank you for playing! You're totally right, we had big plans for them.
dude this game rules. i played several times and it was so fun! i did have an issue with audio stuttering but other than that i just muted and had a great time! good job!

This is nice to read, thank you!
really fun n addictive! won on my second round. I saw the other comments but honestly I feel like I got the hang of it quickly and started calculating the risks when skelly offered a deal. would love to see some kind of game over scene when you lose, cause he's standing there menacingly the whole game i was almost expecting it to happen when I rolled my final losing die. nice one!
Thank you so much! Very cool idea too! We have many more ideas in mind if we ever expand on the game. Do you remember your score?
A really well polished game and easy to understand! I played for a long time but in the end I lost sadly.
I really enjoyed the game and the art for it with the sounds and music made it very errie but not too creepy, just perfect!
Only problem I had is that the other dices are blocking the die you throw.
Thank you! Yeah, I figured this could happen, did it cause any issue for you? Glad you enjoyed!
It sometimes did, and sometimes it was in my favor xD so it's not that bad xD
Are the dice animated or are there some physics stuff going on with that? Made it feel more real.
They are fully using physics, it took a lot of tweaking and cheating to make it behave how we wanted. Thanks for playing!
Great vibes and I like the style! Like mentioned in the other comments I would recommend a better tutorial. I had difficulties figuring out what to do.
Nice entry!
Completely fair, thank you for playing and leaving feedback :).
dont get me wrong , I liked your game! :)
Really cool art style and gameplay!
Thank you for playing!
Awesome art style and sound. Really sets the scene. I agree with some of the other comments its a bit tricky to know what to do but overall very fluid feeling game.
Thank you for the nice comment and thanks for playing!
Interesting game, the graphics and sound design were very cool, however it was a bit difficult to understand what I needed to do. Good job!
Thanks! We worked very hard! We'll try making the game clearer when we get the chance.
The game looks really good, and feels fun to play. I love gambling.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed! I love gambling too...
the game's looks are amazing, but the rules are explained poorly, so there were aspects i didn't understand. The game has great potential nonetheless.
We definitely need to work on the guide. Thank you for playing!
