How does the game fit the theme?
This game sees you battle for cat biscuits using various coloured dice, each with their own effect.
The best dice, however, are also the riskiest to use, as the stronger the die, the lower the odds of their effect helping.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Most SFX are modified online assets under Creative Commons from freesound.
The font used is BoldPixels made by @YukiPixels on 1001Fonts.

The different colored dice and how they affect you and the other players' final score is so cool. It really had me thinking about whether I should keep this dice, reroll it, or choose which color of dice I want. This game is fantastic and really reminds me of Balatro's style of point gathering.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed! ^^
We both really like your game too, really good job :)
From one dice game to the other, loved this one, very well executed
Praise from a fellow dice game is very much appreciated
Okay this game is actually very fun, unfortunately I could not get to 1000. Def requires a lot of strategy. I love it, great job!
Thank you for giving it a go, we're glad you like it! 1000 is certainly a challenge, it's definitely possible but it requires the right strategy and a good amount of luck, especially if you then aim to win. Out of interest what was your highest score?
around 300. 1000 is way off! this is a good game though, i'd be interested in it as a full game with more content :)
I really enjoyed playing this, great concept! Really like the art style and little animations of the die when scoring happens. The writing for the yellow die was a bit confusing but reading the description on the games' helped. Overall: Great work!
Thank you so much! We're very happy you liked the little details. We have a few confusing explanations and the yellow is by far the worst for that so it's good to hear the description helped clear things up for you
Took a while to understand but very interesting game. Enjoyed trying it out. Good concept. Great work.
Thank you for playing, glad you enjoyed! We appreciate the encouragement & will definitely work on better explaining the mechanics in future (:
Wow this was great and fun to play! A little confusing, but fun nonetheless. 8/10 foxes 🦊
Thank you for playing, we're glad you enjoyed! ^^
We appreciate the feedback, we definitely could have done a better job explaining things. Hopefully the description makes thing a little clearer, but we will make sure we improve our in-game explanations in future!
I really enjoyed the cats' paw movements and the audio feedback. I had a little trouble understanding the color dynamics at first, but once I got the hang of it, it turned out to be a very strategic game.
Thank you for playing, glad you enjoyed!^^
We appreciate the feedback, we definitely could have explained things better in game. Hopefully the explanations in the description are a bit clearer, but we will make sure we do better in-game explanantions in our future releases!
I really liked this game! The dice all feel pretty unique. The first turn is very simple, and after that I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly it got interesting. My only feedback would be that it might have been cool if the dice synergise, since right now they only look at the faces of other dice, not the value they get after they power is applied
Thank you for playing! Great feedback and we will definitely spend a long time thinking about how to include more syngergies if we continue development!
The dice do look at the scores of other dice though, not just their face values! The scoring works from left to right, so you need to think about how to order your dice in order to make the best use of them.
You can check the description for a more detailed explanation of how each dice works. I appreciate that we did not make it super clear in game, and we didn't have time to make a tutorial, my apologies!
Really excellent game, though it's very punishing, as a single bad turn will end your entire run.
Thank you! It can be punishing, but sometimes that's just the way the dice roll! We will definitely consider different ways of handling losing turns if we continue working on the game though (:

Thank you so much for playing our game on stream! It really fun to watch, and it gave me some good ideas for improvements! I'm really glad you enjoyed it, and thank you again for all the kind words :)
Really good game! Felt as addicting as Balatro
Thank you! Really glad you enjoyed ^^
This is such a charming and creative concept! I love the theme of winning dice battles; it's so clever. SFX was sooooo good!
Really glad you enjoyed, thank you for playing! :)
Many things I love about this game. The tactile sound effects, the cat paw/animation, the general gameplay. Very fun! Great work!
Thank you so much, we're really glad you enjoyed!
Very fun! Ended with 170 biscuits
Thank you for playing! Glad you enjoyed ^^
The game is really fun! Loved the sound of the die rolling, the mechanics and the art!
thank you! glad you enjoyed ^^
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you are enjoying the game. And I'm sure you can beat it if you got that far!
great game! in a way it feels like balatro but with dice. One thing i’d like to see is that you get like a second chance because one lose means you have to fully restart atm cool concept!
Thank you for the feedback, we're glad you enjoyed it! If we do continue development, we'll definitely explore other options for what happens when you lose a turn!
the artstyle is really cool, also I like the music it's very relaxing.
I couldn't get past the second level lol, I think that I am just bad, but overall really amazing game!

We're happy to see you liked it and we hope the dice weren't too harsh to you. We tried our best to make the game more about strategy than odds but it looks like the early levels still had their fair share of luck.
Very cute game! I loved the art style and presentation. I got stuck losing multiple times in the first round, but after that everything went smoothly.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it ^^
