Quite different from everything else, creativity is definitely there. I'm not too sure what made me win or lose money every time, so I'm left a bit confused.

Very unique jam. I was expecting a lot of dice rolling, and the casino reinforced that, but I liked the manipulation of events through your initial values.
I think the game could've benefited from showing what numbers you've gone through back at earth, but overall really cool.

It took me a bit to figure out how I was influencing the corresponding dialogue, but overall I really enjoyed the visuals! Great work!

Would have been nice if I could know what number I will end up, I feel a bit confused of what is happening in the game.

The numbers go in exact order, from left to right. It is told in the tutorial screen when you first enter the casino screen, but i understand that it may be easy to miss or hard to understand.

Hi, you created an interesting game with very very good visuals and unique gameplay. But I do have a question,  is the game is finished? because I got to the part that I need to find the casino owner and Death said I need at leas 300 money, I made that but then nothing happens, Death appears again repeating the same dialogue saying that I need at least 300 money.

Developer

When getting 300 money, did you have at least one or two dice left?

A really fun game with a very interesting core concept.

I'm just not sure why you can pick your numbers at the start of each round? There is no reason why you wouldn't want to win as many things as possible, so I don't think there's ever a reason to pick anything but the highest availabe value

Developer

There is time where you can or you need to roll a black die. By picking low numbers and rolling black dice on them, you reduce the value of the setback. Don't forget, high values mean bigger outcomes, and the bigger the value on the black die, the worse it is!
Thank you for your feedback.
