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!

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.

DicesoraSimple : 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!

Eye of the DiceholderSlay the Spire killer, I really, really love this. Great idea and a big 'OH' moment when I realised the card values stuck between encounters.

Dickie RollemTHIS 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!

Go Feed PeterNot 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.

The fact that you can roll to change the effectiveness of a card is a bight idea!
