Best game I've played so far. Great strategy game with surprising depth and polish, and the implementation of an AI is extremely impressive. My only issue is that a little strategy may be lost because the number of spaces you can move is determined by luck, though this is forgivable as it was obviously a design choice made in order to fit the theme. Some way of influencing the movement dice roll I feel would balance the experience.

However, having randomness with the powerups I feel works really well. As long as the powerups are balanced (which they seem to be), it brings an interesting dynamic to the gameplay, making the player think of how to best utilise their powerup and adapt to another players powerup.

I really enjoyed this game. The gameplay was really entertaining and it was extremely polished

Great job! I really enjoyed the different powerups. Props on implementing both AI and PvP! Really well done.

Nice concept! :) I played against the AI, and it provided what seemed the right amount of challenge. I'm not still sure what kind of strategies are efficient, but I think I discovered some techniques, which is nice.

I regret that some information are not explicitly displayed. Like in how many tuerns will we obtain new bonuses, how long will they last, when will the game be over… A lot of events took me by "surprise", which make it hard to anticipate moves. 

I still had fun anyway. The presentation is neat, the pixel-art is simple but elegant, and the music and sound design works well with it. It was a fun little experience!

This is a very fun game. The principle is simple and understandable, but there's a lot to the back-and-forth between you and your opponent. And the pixel artstyle is also very well-done.

Scienitive, Thanks for letting me play your game! I forgot how to move after reading the directions so maybe a little UI pop up after the game starts to remind me how to move. We also talked about possibly switching to full mouse and not using keyboard controls. Overall the game was really fun and I enjoyed working on the turn-based strategy part of the game.  The graphics were cute but a bit inconsistent and I think the font was a little hard to read. Great game and wonderful job Jammin!

Wow, such a great game! I love the conquering mechanic, and how the "Grand Roll" changes everything about how you play! Also, that rotation effect is really well done :) Great stuff!

I love the multiplayer option. Very original game. Reminds me of the Marrakech board game

Very fun game, The AI had me on the ropes at a couple of points. I do think that you could improve the controls somewhat, and maybe add an undo button, because I made a couple of mistakes during the round.

Well implemented strategy game, though I wonder how you could incorporate the dice more than just having it be randomized action point count, but you have a lot of mechanics to balance it so you can't just win with the luck of the roll.

Loved the music and the art, and the game was very fun! AI was also surprisingly good for 48 hours.

This is a very charming game, and I love its isometric art style and the background music. The board game mechanic is fun and adds a level of strategy to the game.

Great Work!

Honestly, amazing in every way, awesome work! The only slight problems I found was a small bug with the back button, and that the AI is quite easy.

Submitted(+1)

Wow this game is awesome, definitely saving to play when I have an opponent to play with! Art and sound/music are all fantastic, I especially appreciate the night mode. Game feels super polished, the UI is fantastic. Great game!

Submitted(+1)

Really love that isometric style, definitely a fun game to play! Keep it up! :)

Game is great, name is also!. I like how grand rolls make we adjust our strategies.

Good game. I played it alone but imagine it would be a lot more enjoyable with a friend.

THIS is the best one I've played so far. Good job on the details!

Very polished game with interesting mechanics! 

The entire gameloop felt incredibly smooth and the music, art and just general presentation worked really well together. The one thing that had me a little bit was how long it took for the random effects to go off the screen, a skip button there might've been nice!

Besides that, one of the favourite games I've played this jam so far, very minimalistic, very good!

I totally agree on you with that thing. Very simple thing that I forgot :|
