it is a well fir concept with the theme. the only problem i had is just i am alone :( but overall i could see myself playing w my friend (who wants to play w me) maybe adding some other mechanics like powerups would be really cool.

I was a little disappointed  in the beginning but the game has some interesting strategy aspects and wins depth over time.  Nicely done.

If you had added something for the rows too, like doubling for only odds or evens in a row, this would have even gone further. 

Well the die is sometimes cocked but the placement feature give the correct amount so that's not a big issue.

Developer

We focused on the original rules for the jam submission, but we're looking into possibly adding more mechanics in the future. Thank you!

This is a nice little dice game! Even though I was playing against myself, it felt good to get a triple-6 and triple-5. I would really like an AI player so that I could get a better feel for the strategy involved. The graphics are a little inconsistent but cleanly laid out. I liked the music too. Nice work!

Developer

We ran out of time but we wanted to implement both AI player and online multiplayer. Thank you for your comment! <3

Not sure how this game follows the theme, but it is surely a cute little game. Great work !

I’ve never played Cult of the Lamb but this is fun!

Nice multiplayer game! I don't know if it inspired by a real-life board game, but I've never played anything like that! The concept is really interesting and even if the game lacks a bit of polish (which is expected for a 7-days jam), like an in-game tutorial or a bit of feedback, it's a very cool entry. Congratulations!

Great Game, Keep it up!

It took a little while to get a hang of, but I can see how the game could be interesting. I liked the strategy of choosing where to place your rolls to optimize your score and prevent the opposing player from racking up points. On the other side, the game seems to rely a lot on randomness, which makes the game feel a bit cheap at times. Great job!

Developer

Thank you so much!

Nice gameplay, innovative! I would suggest to improve the UI and the feedback when you multiply your score! Well done!

Developer

Aww thank you so much! We're taking notes on all the feedback and UI is one of the things we really wanted to improve :D

Nice lil game you got there !

Especially enjoyable since I'm too poor for Cult of the Lamb ;-;

Took me a moment to figure out the instruction to roll the dice wasn't a button. From there the dice rolls where frequently very often the same numbers so would have been nice to shake the dice more.

Noted! Thank you!

can you add 1 player?

Developer

Game was designed originally to be a versus online game, but networking got a bit out of scope during the developement. Might still happen at some point tho :3

thank you :)

Fun game, but sometimes the dice lands weirdly so you don't visually know what you get, but it still actually gave a number.

Developer

Yes, we know!! We didn't have much time to fix it, but is in the roadmap of future updates :)

Thank you so much to try our game!!
