Very interesting game concept! I love the art style too!

Amazing game, though you can cheese it easily by just rerolling infinitely and bringing the debt value to -100. Got a score of over 5000 like that, clicked on the window to make a screenshot and then it just restarted sadly.

The mechanics are very confusing, it took several minutes to understand what the heck was going on, but then it was really fun

When you setup your dice in the bottom right and execute your roll, you are supposed to choose one of the options from the bottom right, correct?

Right now though, you can also just put other dice in the bottom left and execute the roll again. And again. There is nothing stopping you from doing this several times to decrease your debt and then trying a "proper" roll, where the red number is bigger than the green one.

Don't think this is intended, otherwise it is very broken xD

Oh a fellow GameMaker-dev :-) I like, i like. Nicely done – didn’t always understand the calculations but the idea is nice - how far will you go with manipulating

I never really understood the mechanics, but I could definitely see the idea you were going for. I liked the art in it, it's very clean and minimalist. Good work!

I had a hard time understanding the mechanics, each element getting introduced one after the other without getting the hang of the other made it difficult to get the hang of the game at first.

Still, good job on your game!

Not really a style of game that I enjoy a lot, but nevertheless it's a really creative idea! Love the art as well, gives a bit of a spooky vibe.

Took a while to get a hang of the mechanics, but it opens up to an awesome strategy game where you are balancing risk and reward. The graphics are so good too! I think the UI could be simplified to make things a lot more clear, even just having labels or hoverboxes could have gone a long way. Either way I still had a lot of fun figuring things out (with the help of LittleDoctorGames xD)

This looks absolutely beautiful and the mechanics seem quite complex and interesting. The problem is just in the way the mechanics are presented and explained by the ui. It's quite unintuitive and could possibly be solved with more detailed tutorialization, but I think it's more about how the information is presented to the player. The slots with "+", "-" and "=" seem to imply that you're trying to get the equation to come out to a value, but that value isn't the goal so much as a parameter. To be honest, I'm still not entirely clear on the mechanics. I think that some other visual metaphor, or more explicit visual language could better convey what is happening and what the goals of the player should be.

IDE , Really pretty game the UI in the menu screen felt really great. I also liked the simplicity of the art and the vibrant colors over the dark made for a really pleasing aesthetic. The gameplay was really hard for me to understand and never really figured it out making it unenjoyable for me to play. Great work though with the overall mood.

Very refreshing jam entry. Love the vibes. The explanation at the beginning is very helpful although it still feels like a bit too much information all at once but that can't really be helped I guess. Overall it is a pretty fun little management game.

Love seeing more complex games in a jam. It's more of a risk than just making a puzzle game or a platformer because not many people will take the time to get it but once you do it's so worth it!

Visually stunning! Great work! Keep up the good work!

One of the best looking game I've played in this jam. UI is excellent, color palette is excellent. Artwise it's very good. I wish the game had some sound effects, that would make it better.

Game concept is very cool but I think a little too complex for a game like this. Great job anyway!

A little confusing, but very stylish and cool colors.

The tutorial could do better explaining how to play

Mouse controls can get annoying

Brightness settings is 👍

I gave it another try after reading the tutorial in the description. Very nice pixel art and cool concept. Some simple sound effects would go a long way
