Really cool game with great mechanics. The piggy and rush tiles are definitely my favourite!

Sure! I remember 2 instances, I don’t think there was more.
-
I went through the shop, the panel opened but I was not able to interact with it. I had to roll my dices again and move in ordre to make a pickup choice. I remember I was low on dices roll, I even think I lost right at that moment (like: rolling dices, move all my pawns and the last pawn I moved went through shop, without the necessary amount of jewels to pass to the next loop). I don’t have the exact context but I hope that helps:)

This one might be a feature : I took a “finish line” kind of pickup with a pawn (let’s call him A). On its way there was another pawn which I already moved (let’s call him B). Pawn A went through pawn B. But maybe that’s intended?
Some suggestion on the side:
- maybe improve the dice selection feedback, I honestly didn’t understand I selected a dice the first time I clicked on it haha
I’ll probably give it another try and I’ll update you if I encounter those situations again :)

You have a great memory! That helps a lot, thank you. I'll track those down to fix after the jam.
Great point on the dice feedback to! Especially in contrast to the feedback from hovering over the dice its not very noticeable. Definitely worth improving :)

Thank you for taking the time to play, I really appreciate such thoughtful feedback!
I spent a lot of time trying to strike a balance between randomness and determinism, trying to encourage a reactive play style but allow for more elaborate long-term plans. Definitely a chance that its too swingy at the minute, once the jam is over I'll spend some more time testing which knobs can be handed over to the player :D
Thats an interesting point about the outer loop taking longer too! On one hand I find it really interesting that you have to try to sync up the different phases of the pawns, but towards the ends of rounds the outer loop can become a bit of a non-factor. Tbh I bet that's something that can be solved with a couple new movement-based upgrades!!
Thanks again for your thoughts, if you have any more feedback or ideas for where to take it I'd love to hear em!

I believe a new world record has just dropped: my little brother at 2908 jewels (almost 100x my top score lmao).
Let me know if you can beat it!

Thank you for the kind words and thoughtful feedback! It's really helpful to hear what the first experience is like. A few other people have said similar things so I've added a quick controls explanation to the page. I'll have a go at improving the tutorials once the jam is finished :)
