Very cool artstyle! love how the first dice roll was animated, almost feels like a cartoon.
Like others have said, it's a bit difficult if you can't heal when needed.
Other than that, a very solid and enjoyable game !

What a great concept, love it to bits and pips. Didn't make it far but the art and music is really cool!

Dice saladGood game! I love gameplay, art and sounds. Though you can't heal when you kill enemy and inventory is saved after death. 5/5

Cards&DicesCool idea. Sometimes it feels a little but unbalanced (to much RNG), but given the short time span, that is totally fine. Great work!
Bug: You keep your inventory when you restart (not that but, just reload the game).

Speed MatchingThe gameplay is great and it's fun to fight the enemies. But my favorite thing has to be the artworks. You did a great job designing this game! I just realised, you can actually carry 9 dice, if you take one more out of a chest and hold it while proceeding to the next foe.

Meeple Jump - No Time to DiceI love the art style a lot, made me think of the flash games of old. In fact, the entire presentation was spot on. Unfortunately, I encountered a lot of bugs making it a bit hard to enjoy the general gameplay. However, with those bugs ironed out I see a super fun random dungeon crawler in here! Fun game overall.

Dice Drop DashFun to play, even if it was a little hard to grasp in the beginning.

A Short EscapeAn interesting game!
We both went with a similar concept, so it was really nice to see the huge differences in execution.
I often ended up with no dice left, so the game might need a bit more loot, by apart from that it was fun to play.
(possible bug: when restarting, my inventory remained empty, soft locking me in lvl 1)
The ennemies' designs and dungeon dice-walls are really great, it gives this game a unique identity!
Good job, it's a nice submission! =)

Dice or DieDefinitely a lot of random stuff going on. Rolling for attack, rolling for loot... it surely fits the theme. I like design of the enemies. Especially the snake with dice eyes.

Live or DiceI loved the art in this game! Super nostalgic feeling of Newgrounds Flash games, in the best way possible. I especially like the animation of rolling at the start of the game.
Mechanically I like the concepts. Clearly there's the ground work here for much more depth and new features, and I hope you keep working on it after the jam. At it's surface though, I like the idea of managing a small resource pool that's constantly being replenished.
Gorgeous animation for a game jam game, but I agree with the comments that gameplay can feel too random and lacking in player interaction. It's a bit frustrating when I try to take dice from the chest and it doesn't work correctly for one reason or the other. This is still a very impressive game though and I did enjoy my dungeon crawl. Great job!
