I've sunk a bunch of time into it and really like it. The beginning however is very volatile and you can die super easy by not having enough campfires at no fault of your own. A tutorial would be nice. maybe in the description even. Overall really fun but it takes time to get into it and enjoy it. (Also the noise is fun and lowkey music would make it better)

Very interesting concept! I was a bit confused in the beginning and thought a tutorial could help for the start but overall really cool game! :)

Loved the concept of the game, gameplay was fun too, great work overall!

honestly found it a bit too confusing, with no visible explanation or goal and a bunch of ui. game looks great and judging from the comments i'm sure it's fun and i'm just dumb but i had to stop after failing to figure out how to play and randomly dieing lol

Submitted

The concept is really nice! I would have loved some tuto but once I figured out, the fun begins!

Good job!

Very cool take on the theme! This could be really nice if fleshed out a bit more, maybe with more intermediary goals to encourage the player along. Cool entry.

I like you you were able to make an engine builder in such a small amount of time. I think it can be a little unfair at times with the heart mechanic (I was always running out of campfires and then rolling sword repeatedly). I really like the idea of changing the faces on the die that you roll.

Warning: we have found a bug that causes memory leakage. The game might freeze in a late stage (~1h of gameplay) due to insufficient memory. Since we cannot modify our game build, we have uploaded a fixed version at https://alith.itch.io/dice-evolution-post-jam-build. This post-jam build only fixes the memory leakage problem without changing other things.

According to the regulation of the jam, please do not use the re-uploaded version to rate this game. Please only use the original version for rating.

Very fun to play. Once you understood the rules, it become addictive. It make you want to create an optimal build to be able to smash quickly the dice buttten but the difficulty is well balanced so it doesn’t happen easily so you are constantly challenged to check your options. The way each table represents a phase of a classic rpg is interesting.

I love the concept. It took me a little while to figure out how it works. I must say that luck wasn't on my side and at one time I rolled like 1x zzz and 5x sword so I lost very quickly. >.<

Hi all,

This is Alith, one creator of the game. As a puzzle creator, we tried something different in this game jam. This game adopts the concept of "deck building" on dice faces (partially inspired by the game Luck be a Landlord) and combines the idea with a resource management strategy game.

I personally really enjoy the game idea. We originally designed a harder version with scarce resources and that requires careful decision-making, but we ended up with an easier version (it looks more like an idle game now). 

I proudly invite you to try out our demo. Be sure to tell us what you like and dislike about the game.
