A very strategic game mechanic! The story has a nice hook and I enjoyed how it all played out. Would be nice to see the resolution, but the deadline was two days, so it's understandable.

I had a lot of fun with this. I actually found myself invested in the story, which made me care whether I won each duel and nervous when I couldn't roll what I needed. Our game has no stakes, which is great for experimentation, but also makes it easy to blow past battles without thinking, so finding myself caring about yours and thinking hard was a nice contrast.
I was disappointed I didn't get to see any sort of story resolution though, when I made it all the way without losing (after losing a few times on the first level to learn the game). I was sweating, but yeah, just over. Oh well.
Really cool game.
But I would change the font. And when calculating 22 - 6 / 5, I would expect 21, but it is 20. I think because 20.8 gets rounded.
I love that there is a story.
Cool theme implementation. The story and art were also great... Amazing work!
Unique premise! I like the setting and the music/sfx. The gameplay really came down to chance more than math ability, but I think there's something interesting about the concept of chaining together numbers and operators to engage in a fencing dual. Would like to see this developed further. Nice start.
Cool game with a unique take on the theme! Building the right sequence of math operators to get to the goal is a nice challenge of using the right dice at the right time. I also LOVED the art style and the story :) Great stuff
It's rare to see hand drawn games nowadays (other than pixelart), so it's already a bonus for me. But while the game art is nice, the GUI seems a bit off with it's different style. The story is also a nice touch. Good game! :)
Math strategy game, a very good base game. I think you can develop it more with unique equation or constraints. I'll definitely play it again!
the story aspect was great! the sfx of shaking the dice is nice as well
I really enjoyed the math component, the story is a really nice bonus
