Easily my favorite game of the jam so far! A simple concept executed beautifully. Manages to hit a sweet spot between randomness and strategy that makes for really fun gameplay. Would love to see this concept expanded on more!
Amazing concept and execution, I loved how you constructed the enemies around the ability to roll a dice for their value (such as separating the health bar so you couldn't one shot them). It made each turn feel like its own puzzle which was super fun!
Amazing idea and execution! My favourite game so far. My only criticism is that it's too short - I want more!
I really liked the audio and concept. Nice work!
At first I didn't understand that I could chose any red number to change. Once I realized this, it changed everything. I didn't read the game description so was a bit confused at first when all the numbers turned red. I didn't even know you could click the red numbers. I wish you had a tutorial in game explaining this mechanic a bit more clearly.
With that being said, this is my favorite entry so far. Absolutely brilliant idea. This is going to be a tough one to beat.
5/5 outstanding!
really fun design and very fun to play!
The sound design is just beautiful
Really good game. The idea of the dice is really good and makes you think out of the box. The game has a potential to be even more complex and fun.
Beautiful visuals too. Good job.
Simple : roll dice, change numbers. Until you realize the implications and the myriad of possibilities. Because the developers just went all-in with the idea.
Long-term versus short-term? Check. Risk versus reward? Check. Variety of builds? Check. This is not that simple of a game jam deckbuilder!
Slay the Spire killer, I really, really love this. Great idea and a big 'OH' moment when I realised the card values stuck between encounters.
THIS IS SUCH A GOOD CONCEPT! The fact that any changes you make to cards is permanent is what really makes the game incredible. Setting up your deck so that you can continuously roll high on attack and health cards is very satisfying. Great job!
Best game I've played in the Jam so far!
Oof
Such a smart concept! And I love the art, it works so well together!
Not sure how to get passed Th'nal (or whatever its name is), this snail is way to tough for the cards I picked. Either way, this is a very cute game, with fun animations and a great concept. Had a good time playing. Nicely done.
I love this!
Art is soo cute as well as the animations.
The fact that you can roll to change the effectiveness of a card is a bight idea!
It actually feels like a game. It took me while to understand the game, but it works out
Excellent work, really liked it. music is so cute!
The mechanic is very unique and quite fun to play around with.
After I realised, that changed numbers stay changed I had even more fun and played it till the end multiple times. ^^
Great game :)
The game is very fun I really like the art style! :D
