How does your game fit the theme?
All GFX was AI-generated using the DALL-E Mini model. Additionally, it's a puzzle matching game, so your ability to win is based in randomness. Through all this, the game is a personfiication of rolling the dice in terms of the game's art, direction, and outcomes.

It’s the first game I come across that has art fully generated by AI, I’m impressed! I think it would be fun if you had labels on the art, the game could be used with children to teach them about animals.
The AI element is hard to fully appreciate, but I imagine that was challenging to implement within the time frame and really interests me in this context. It could make the game endlessly variable in the best possible way! Fun little game, a nice entry
Unnerving entry! The idea is a little to the simple side, but the AI generated images does make it interesting if nothing else.
Error: sprite not found: dog3
Nice idea about the use of this new mindblowing AI. Not much theme fitting, but rather unusual, so, thumbs up from me!
Cool idea! On the fringe of being off-topic in my opinion. Still had fun though
While a servicable match-two card game, I really don't feel this matches the theming of "roll of the dice" very well at all. While you say that it's a, "personification of rolling the dice in terms of the game's art, direction, and outcomes", I don't really feel that algorithmically created art is really random, and while there is an element of randomness in card flipping games (since they have to be shuffled and dealt out into the playing field), I wouldn't really call it a, "personification of rolling the dice", either. Interesting experiment, but very simple gameplay, with it declaring you a winner after each set instead of proceeding to the next automatically, which felt very windows-3.1-solitaire-like. Not bad, but there's better mechanisms to continue playing than having to start a new iteration through a discrete button you have to click to reset, rather than a keyboard shortcut or auto-next-play.
All in all, not fun (it's a match-two card game... they're not exactly hard or interesting gameplaywise at the best of times, especially when there's no limit to the number of guesses or dud cards); the visuals are interesting for being machine learning AI generated, but aren't really interesting otherwise, and the presentation is very simple beyond it being AI generated images. If you like that sort of surrealism, you'll probably like this game more, but for me, it really wasn't enjoyable at all.
This was just the right amount of challenging. Good job curating an interesting subset of similar but distinct and relatively simple images. I would love to read more about your process of selecting inputs to feed into DALL-E. Playing this game has led me to wonder how sharp my mind's eye really is, as well as reflect upon the innate hallucinogenic properties of my brain. I feel like my horizons have been broadened as a result of playing this game. Thank you for making it.
Funny concept. Wish it told us what the artwork was, even though it's easy to guess.
Simple game.
I think the random art is a really nice fit for the theme. I haven't seen anyone do this so it feels really fresh and original. The gameplay is a little simple and could benefit from some depth such as a timer or increased difficulty (like more similar pictures).
Overall pretty cool concept!
Unique use of theme. Would be cool if the game scaled in difficulty. Fun game. Good job.
We still waiting for our DALLE-E expirience with beta-test of second version T_T
The idia of making visual with DALL-E is great! Keep going with it!!
Cool memory game with some kind of a twist!
Some AI generated pictures of the same animal look quite similar, making this a challenging, but enjoyable experience!
Very creative implementation of the theme, and the game looks really nice for half the assets being ai generated!
nice generic memory game with dalle mini assets.
banger
The DALL-E art is definitely cursed, love it. Very creative, good work.
The gameplay mechanic is as simple as it goes, and that makes the impact Dall-E graphics have on my ability to (not) remember even more profound. You are onto something here. This is something that should be researched in the future.
The fact the graphics are made with Dall-E makes it actually challenging!
