It's a really good idea, but the game would be better, if there was almost no randomness and if there were rules. For example newborn dice number would be sum of the parents node and if the value will be grater than 6 then it will be the value - 6, to get to the desired range. Colors would be red + green -> yellow, red + blue -> magenta (or white), blue + green -> cyan, yellow + magenta -> red and so on. Then it would be really good and strategic game. The concept of course could be expanded even more.

But I also liked the 3D models and atmotphere of the game.

Thank you! ;)

Very cute. It was a little bit hard to grab each sheep/die when they clustered together. I guess that's part of the challenge and fun, but definitely made it more difficult than it needed to be.

Thank you for playing, and for your insightful feedback!

Cool game! Visuals and music are great. I like the dice sheep and I like throwing them together to make more. The randomness makes it very challenging to keep up with customers. Which new sheep pop out is definitely up to the Roll Of The Dice.

Thanks for playing and feedback! :D

The little dice sheep are so cute! At first it was a bit confusing how breeding worked but once I managed to kinda figure it out, it was quite enjoyable!

Thank you! :) 🐑

I liked the graphics but the gameplay felt very hard. Interesting idea but I was only able to satisfy a single customer before I lost the game. Could be quite enjoyable if the cross-breeding mechanic was a little bit more predictable.

Thank you very much for the feedback!

Fun idea, but the breeding mechanic was a little frustrating. It felt like I was only able to get the right color/number combo by luck, even when breeding the right dice.

Developer

Agree, this should be better ballanced! Thank you for playing. :)

Really love the art, and the general feel of the game! I found the breeding mechanic a bit hard to figure out, as I couldn't exactly tell how random it was, or how much I could control. Overall, really enjoyed it and found it fun! The little walking dice are super cute :)

Developer(+2)

I agree! We should've left some sort of instructions in there. Thank you very much for playing! And glad you managed to figure it out! :D

I like the idea, and it's well presented. But it feels unbeatable. I would really consider allowing more dice in the pen, or having a faster truck. I often spent long times unable to do anything.

Thank you very much for playing and your feedback!

This game is fantastic! Really neat idea that is well executed.
I do think the game is a little too tough, especially while figuring it out. Maybe increasing the pen size a little, or upping the mutation rate, would have helped. But in any case, once I got into the rhythm I had a blast. Thanks!

Thank you so much! <3

This game is REALLY fun and addictive. I just played this game for like 45 minutes without realising how much time went by. It's super simple, but I love it!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! :D

Nice game! Took me a while to figure out what I was supposed to do though.

This was so lovely. Very charming and calming. My first try I did have trouble getting any of the dice the customers wanted but on my second attempt strategized a bit better and had a great time

Thank you very much! :D
