I really enjoyed this. Simple concept that's fun especially with the timer pressure coming in. As others have said switching out the odd/even for something you have to think about would be good to add some extra skill in. I could you see you doing time-boxed segments so you get the rush of the timer coming in before it relaxes a bit. Or even.. multiple dice. Can tell it's a great concept because it gets me thinking. Well done

I’m always in awe of people who deliver a complete game by themselves 😯
Simple and fun concept! I can see this as a party game, with wagers between people and everything.

No Time to Dice 🎲A very short and cute game! There is a certain strategy to it where you find the higher/lower value, however the other ones are pretty much 50-50. Would have loved more logical questions where the words are twisted so that it takes time for the player to understand the actual question for example, that might add to the fun, rather than 50-50 more than half the time xD

Roll Literally RollYeah, at first I added those 50/50 questions to keep some RNG in the game and keep the multiplier at a relatively low amount, but I realised there were way too many of those questions after I published the game :(
Once I can update the game, I am definitely removing those and making the game more skill-based. Thanks for trying!
Great concept and execution! Would be perfect as a minigame in a much bigger title, like an activity in a Skyrim tavern.

Jazzy JumpA fun, simple concept with really good execution. I got a score of 8100 after getting more than 10 correct predictions in a row during the last few seconds. The game makes you carefully try to predict what the next roll is going to be. The time and score penalty for getting a question wrong is a good addition - it encourages you to think critically about each question without slowing down the pace of the game. The music and visuals are very thematic and enhance the playing experience.
There is also a lot of potential for a future release - you could have levels where you need to beat a given score, have different kinds of dice, or even have multiple dice being rolled at once - that would allow for crazy questions like "Will at least one of the next rolls be less than 4?" or "Will the difference between the largest and smallest of the next rolls be larger than 5?".
Anyways, great entry overall!

Dicey Village Tower DefenseI really enjoy playing your game, the concept is simple but fun, I like the art too ! Good job.

Casino ShooterReally liked on how randomization was used on this one. I also agree with others that the 50-50 chances should be removed. It makes the choices feel unfair and unimportant.
There definitely is something special being discovered upon here, trying to play around RNG with probability. Congrats on finishing the jam!

Simple Ogre LuckCool game. Only thing I have against it is probably the aspect ratio. Other than that, it's pretty good!

DungeonBoardThe game is pretty good! It's short but sweet. The pressure really got to me EVERY SINGLE TIME I got to the last 10 seconds where the buttons and text move around like crazy, my brain would just shut off and just press a random button.
Overall, pretty great game!

Rolling Mr. DiceA very polished mini game! Making the challenge time based rather than turn based makes for a great combination. Now it's not just a roll of the dice, but also making sure not to press the checkmark when getting a "Smaller than 1?" prompt, which I unfortunately failed to do. (:
The way the music changes based on the multiplier at hand, and the great sound effects makes for a pretty complete package. Not much to say to improve here, other than to perhaps add some local/global highscores!
