Fun game and an interesting twist on the genre! It has a lot of potential but lacks a bit of depth for now.

One of the few games I gave a chance to download! Good decision! Now Im addicted to rolling dice, once I got all 6's but one 5 :O Nice game!

its very funny game. nice job

This game captures the feel of balatro very well, but the way it fits the theme is a stretch imo

Developer

thanks for the feedback!

I really enjoyed the look and feel of this game. Rolling dice is always very satisfying! Great work!

Submitted(+1)

The game feels very solid and complete! I like the detail of the dice rolling when you hover over them, it looks really nice. The text saying to "keep going" or "help" really solidify that this is an addiction and adds a small narrative to the game. Great work overall!

Very cute, nice work.

Simple but addictive indeed... Great sound design, everything fits into place !

Great sounds! I liked it a lot. I love shiny math rocks.

Very effective execution! I yelled Yahtzee OF COURSE.

Submitted(+1)

Great game! The sounds are satisfying and feedback feels nice. Would love to see more different upgrades, or even abilities, like adding or subtracting to a dice for example. Simple but effective in a nice package, nice work!

Developer

ooo good idea, thanks for the feedback!

last time i checked this is gmtk 2025 not 2022, would have been a belter back then. In seriousness, well done for creating a balatro/yatzee game with your own spin to it. Will try to get to higher round now. Nvm its all down to luck of who can roll 5 6's consistently to get to round 7+. Not sure if you heard of the game dice throne, need some card abilities to improve the % of getting a good hand.

Developer

Yeah ive got a lot more modifier mechanics in the works, at the moment getting the +10 to all dice rolls bonus is the only way to make it far.

a good mechanic and loop kinda whish to know how the multipliers are going, what a game, is there any record you know its almost imposible?

Developer

Yeah showing the multipliers is a good idea, thanks for the feedback! highest record ive seen so far was 15, ive only made it to 12.

15 days? or 15k?

Nice entry! has balatro vibes

Submitted(+1)

Good to play and the art is also pretty cool , you put it very well from the inspiration, but you can develop it more further after jam too , it really became popular 

Submitted(+1)

Feels like a very loose use of the theme, (and also giving me some balatro vibes,) but pretty fun.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! Balatro and Yahtzee were the 2 main inspirations. Thought the gambling addiction part would be enough but you're right I probably could have fit more actual looping into the mechanics (aside from being a rogue like).

Submitted(+1)

Game is extremely addictive, just loved the art style and the loop was implemented perfectly. Power-ups are a bit too overpowered , it would have been better if it stayed more challenging at some point. But overall, it was such a great experience. Well done!!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!
