Wow this is really fun! The modifiers fit right in with the gameplay which is surprisingly balanced. Needs some polishing (please leave the explosion sprite though haha) but amazing work for 48 hours!

Really fun game!! I found myself wanting to keep going to see how strong I could get! I wasn't sure if I was making progress to a boss or harder enemies since I had become so strong I could get through the rooms much easier, but regardless I had a great time playing and the pixel art was great too!

Thank you very much for your review! In fact there are 6 levels, and when everything is done, the rooms loop between levels 4, 5 and 6. The difficulty is our priority for now :)

I appreciate that you like the art :)

Awesome game. It was a lot of fun. I really liked how all of the dice where upgrades. I found in similar games this Jam that most of the had a mix of good and bad dice rolls which always ends in my character being super week because I am very unlucky. But in this game I just got super overpowered. The only thing I wish was different is that it would have been more epic if the enemies scaled and become more powerful in the later levels so that they continued to be some threat.

Thanks for the review!

Ahah believe it or not, the enemies actually scale, but waaaay too slowly compared to the player!

Very creative take and I thoroughly lost myself in the game! Great variety of die effects, and really fun when it starts stacking, other than some minor collision glitches, a limit on the number of dies, and maybe letting the player choose which dies to keep and which to trade out would be great, but for 48 hours this was great.

Really cool game, very easy to get sucked into, and very fun with how chaotic is gets with more and more dice! I love the pixel art, the little wizard is very cute!

But, sometimes the enemies went through walls or spawned outside the map and then walked into the map. Also, it would be cool if the view of all the dice you have for the level could either have a scroll function or maybe only show the distinct dice (so no duplicates), it would make checking your abilities easier once one has collected 6+ dice.

Still, I had a lot of fun playing and it very much had the "just one more level" vibe!

Thank you very much for your review! It makes us really happy to read you!

Thank you for your feedback, it is true that the black point of our game is the confusion of our interface, almost as chaotic as the fights :D

I'm so happy to read that you got the "just one more level" vibe, that we wanted, and we are happy that it works!

So much fun playing this! The shooting had a great sense of power with each shake enhancing its impact.

Ahah thanks! The game felt a bit too dull before I added this last minute feature, it shoots dopamine to your brain!
