Very cool premise, and awesome art. I would consider adding some kind of visual feedback when dice are missed, for instance maybe play a little animation and highlight in red.

Yeah ! This game is cool with great art direction !

The art is amazing!!
The mechanic has potential, it just needs a little push. 
I have a few suggestion:
- highlight the dice that you can match. To progress bar in the bottom is fine, but does not give enough feedback (It can be buggy at times).
- You could allow the player to execute spells with fewer dice, and the punishment being a less powerful spell, instead of losing mana. It would give the player more options.

Keep up the good work!!

The music is really cool! Unfortunately the game is unclear and I can't seem to get past the first level.

I love the music and art, but sadly couldn't get past the first level. It's a cool premise though, and I'd love to play a future version

The presentation here is off the hook! loved the animations and a cool gameplay mechanic too, the only thing that bothered me is having to see the tutorial each time I died but other than that super cool!

Developer

Agree, we will rework game tutorial!

v0.0.1 Rhythm of the Dice Caster

Committed small fixes for main gameplay.

Now we are balancing rotation and damage + adding caster mechanics.


Submitted

Man it looks really awesome! But like the other commenters, I didn't really understand the tutorial, so I didn't understand what to do. Music is also nice.

Developer

Yes, we have already fixed the main gameplay. Now we are configuring rotation!

Thanks for your feedback and testing our game!

It's a shame this game seems unfinished. The art is fun and the music bops. But no matter when I pressed space the attacks never worked. Also don't understand the arrow keys at all. 
Seems like there's a language barrier with the translations though, the tutorial is wordy and confusing.

Hopefully it gets fixed up at some point.

Developer

Yes, we have already fixed the main gameplay (video above). Now we are configuring rotation!
We will rewrite the tutorial and make it visual only + and move the text guide to the main menu -> options.

Thanks for your feedback and testing our game!

Submitted

Phew! Tough game! 

I think the tutorial should be a bit more clear on explaining wich arrows are you supposed to press.

That said, the art is very pretty! And i think the song matches the theme! Very good!

Visuals are great but sadly how to play was unclear. I might the one missunderstanding since you took the time to give a tutorial tho

Developer(+1)

We couldn't do a good job on the last day of Jam. But we are already fixing the build!

Thank you for feedback!

Submitted

This was really cool, the art is amazing!

Developer(+1)

The artist sends thanks!

Submitted

Yeah, the gameplay is hard to understand, but I believe you got got by the 48 hours limit... Otherwise, the art is amazing !

Developer

We are waiting for you after the core hotfixes.

Thank you for your feedback and testing our game!

Submitted

Great art and music but even after 10 minutes of playing i couldn't understand how the game works. Am i supposed to press the arrows in a sequence, or just press the one direction which as the most arrows? Why does my attack make me lose a life even when i press space at the correct time?

The tutorial doesn't explain the quite punishing game mechanics and i quickly ended up frustated, unfortunately.

Developer

Unfortunately, the basic mechanics with spells were not completed on time. After the GMTK Jam is over, we will release a hotfix.

Thank you for your feedback and testing our game!
