--- About the Game ---
Rougelite adventure game. Reality has been shattered. Fight enemies to collect reality shards to restore things. Four enemies to fight plus a boss!
--- How to Play ---
Click on the circles in the overworld to fight the next enemy.
In combat, roll dice at the start of your turn with the energy you have. Dice will come out of your bank. Hover over the dice in the tube to view the potential dice you can roll.
After rolling, drag and drop the dices into the tiles and then click on the rune to activate them. Different tiles have different effects, hover over the runes to read the description.
Once you have no more energy, you can end your turn and wait for the enemy to complete their turn. You can end your turn early to stockpile on energy.

Good job!!! I really enjoy it :) I also found a some bugs but nothig terrable :D
Thanks! Yes plenty of bugs lol! We didnt have as much time to playtest as we wanted. Our team had a good laugh after we submitted it at all the bugs/broken mechanics there were
Haha! I'm glad you didn't find any terrible ones, but they're in there :)
Thanks for playing! We appreciate the feedback!
Cool Game! It is a bit confusing what to do at first though
Thanks for looking at it! Yeah I can see how this is confusing at first, needs a tutorial or better UX
Thanks for checking out our game! It definitely could be developed to make how to play more obvious, and could use a tutorial. We appreciate the feedback!
Very interesting mechanic, it's my first time playing something like this. Took me a while to realize I have to link the dice with the box. Some tutorials and sound effects would be nicer. Great work!
Thanks for the review! Agreed! A tutorial is needed.
Thanks for playing the game! I'm glad you found the mechanics interesting. We appreciate the feedback!
Oh boy! The game mechanic is really cool. I think this could be a really interesting strategy game. Please develop it further.
Very good job!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I think my friends and I will continue to work on this project. Hope to sure more with you!
Really happy you see potential in it and enjoyed the game mechanics! Thanks for playing and giving feedback!
Okay how did you create this game for this jam? This is like Slay the Spire feat. Dicey Dungeons I am in awe. The graphics are amazing and the balance is just right! With a bit polish on vfx and a tutorial, this could really be a hit! The game did however crash when I met the cultist. I wanted to try out my new rune, the one that deals damage based on the number of statuses on the enemy. And I think the game didn't really know what to do when the enemy didn't have any statuses to base the damage on.
Other than that, it's simply amazing. Please take your time and make this into a longer game. I would gladly play this on my phone.
Thank you very much for your kind words! There was a lot of Slay the Spire and Dicey Dungeons inspiration for this one. And yeah we for sure scoped more than we could handle. We were pretty much working 12 hours a day between three people and submitted with only 22 seconds left!
My friends have an interest in keeping this project alive. So I certainly hope to share more with you soon!
Thanks so much for the praise and feedback! We are huge fans of Slay the Spire and other deckbuilders and resource managements games. Sorry you hit a gamebreaking bug at the cultist, it sucks to end a run that way. Our artist had some really great ideas for vfx that we didn't have time to implement. Same with a more developed UI/UX and tutorial, but we're glad you liked it, and we'd like to continue the project. I'm glad you see potential in it!
This game is very unique, I have not seen anything like it in this jam yet! I think some vfx for different attacks could go a long way! Also the text is very small and almost impossible to read in the web version. I think it is very unique and fun though, especially as someone who loves board games and turn based video games!
Thanks for the review and input! The text being small and not legible is a good callout. My friends have an interest in keeping this project going so we will for sure tweak that!
Thanks for playing and for giving really specific feedback, it's definitely helpful. Happy you see potential in it and liked the idea behind it!
I got stuck at first and trying to figure how to play the game, although the art is quite amazing, the game could be awesome if there were more sfx though, but overall great job!
Agreed! Thanks for playing
Yeah! I was bummed I didn't have time to get to sfx. I think it would have added a lot. Thanks for playing and giving feedback!
It took me a few moments to figure out how but thanks to your tooltips I could without problems. Your game is georgeous! Really cool visuals and gameplay. Really nice game.
Thanks for playing!
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you were able to figure things out with the tooltips. We appreciate the feedback!
Great comcept and great art! you couldve made the game more strategical by adding a buff or something when the player doesnt use all of their dices in one turn, but overall it was really good!
Good idea! Thanks for playing!
Thanks for the compliments and feedback! There were lots of game mechanics we would have liked to explore but didn't have time, but yours is a cool idea to build on
Great job! I love the art style of the game very much!
Thanks! Glad you liked it
I would love you to check out my game too ^_^

Will definitely check yours out! Thanks for playing ours and giving the compliments
Oh I leave here the same comment. I liked your game design since the dice system is innovative, and the art style looks so great!
Thanks for playing!
Thanks for playing our game! I'm glad you thought the mechanics were interesting and you liked the art. Our artist worked super hard on the project
Beautiful game! I eventually figured out what I was doing, but instructions and audio feedback would definitely help. great work!
I agree with the criticism, we just scoped the game too big and ran out of time. Thanks for playing!
Appreciate the compliments! Thanks! We definitely missed on UX and appreciate the feedback, it's helpful
Hey there - the graphics are great and its very well animated with some good accompanying music. However I dont know how to play the game - nothing I do seems to work and as others have said there are no instructions. There is some potential here, but it needs work. Good effort though - keep going!
Hey thanks for trying it! I knew the lack of instructions were an issue, but your comment of "Nothing I do seems to work", really helped me understand what I took for granted as well.
I've added some basic instructions on the Itch.io page, if you would considering playing again.
Hey! Thanks for checking out our game. I'm glad you like the animations and music, and we appreciate the feedback and tips!
Plz add some instructions!!
I've added some basic instructions on the Itch.io page, if you would considering playing again.
Thanks for the feedback! Instructions were a miss on our part, but thanks for checking out our game!
The graphics are really cool ! I didn't quite understand the gameplay, maybe you should add some instructions...

Very nicely designed and animated characters! I didnt quite understand the gameplay unfortunatly...
Would appreciate a rating on my game aswell!
Thanks for trying! I hear you on lack of instructions/gameplay understanding. I've added some basic instructions on the Itch.io page, if you would considering playing again.
Looking forward to trying out your game! Thanks for giving ours a go, the feedback on your playthrough is appreciated. Really happy you enjoyed the character art, our artist put a ton of work in!
Cool turned-based system however i agree with @YupGames that instructions are needed.
Thanks! I diffidently agree with your comment. Please feel free to rate it!
I've added some basic instructions on the Itch.io page, if you would considering playing again.
Thanks for the feedback and playing!
Innovative turn-based system and I like the character sprites. Major improvements needed are BGM/SFX to be added and instructions to play for those who never played turn-based system
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah we had some BGM but its a little quiet. Instructions are for sure needed, just ran out of time. Submitted with 20 seconds left!
I've added some basic instructions on the Itch.io page, if you would considering playing again.
Thanks for playing the game! The feedback is appreciated, we definitely feel a tutorial or more in depth UX/UI is needed. Doing it over again we would have prioritized that, but hindsight is 20/20. Really glad you like the character sprites! Our artist put a lot of time and care into the project
