I spent waaaaaay too much time playing this game than I meant to lol. Very fun game, and it was a funny way to see dice used : )

That was definitely the most creative game I've played in this jam so far! And i love how the music gets more intense the further you go with the dice matching! I didn't know what I would be getting into when I read the tagline for the game, but I was not disappointed! Great work!

Took a moment to figure out how the merging works, but a nifty little game. I was really confused on how to do a pentamerge at first because it seems like the game only accepts configurations in straight lines, when I was trying to make bent shapes and plus shapes. I like that you went for a cosmic horror type of game. Reminds me of Thaumcraft!

Ooh, very good point about corner 5-merges, it just totally slipped my mind during the jam! Thanks for playing!

I like how the dialogue changes as the farmer slowly starts losing his mind from merging dice. Actually made it all the way to the end - definitely one of the more creative games I've seen this jam.

Wow, this was amazing. As much as I want to win myself, I just have to give this a 5 in enjoyment and creativity, what a take on the incremental genre. To be honest, I don't have any criticisms apart from improving the presentation, although it didn't hinder my enjoyment at all. Well done.

I can't figure out the mechanics, left and right click don't do anything

Interesting, maybe not clicking in the grid on the left? We did have trouble tutorializing people into putting their mouse in that space.

I tried clicking the tiles on the left but nothing happened, all I could do is press space to drink tea

Hmm, probably a device specific bug then. Sorry you couldn't play it!
