Really loved the animations and concept. But I agree with others that it took a bit of experimentation to figure out how to use the UI. But overall a unique idea and a fun game!
Interesting concept, but pretty hard to understand at first to be honest. However, once you get the hang of it the game is fun.
This is a really great idea suffering from UI issues. I think the game actually works for people, it is just really, really hard to understand what to do.
(You need to drag the dice onto the 3 boxes just left of the dice, then click Ready. Then click left mouse to select where to throw, then right click to throw it, then right click to select where to move).
Most obvious feedback would be to make sure people understand how to play. Showing a text at each step would be one idea.
Graphics are okay, it does the job. The overlays are a bit unclear sometimes.
I really like the strategy, you have to think how to best use your current dice. A more polished version with better UI/UX really has potential. Good job!
(We named our games the same :))
:o thank you! It's always nice to hear constructive feedback. I don't usually work on games post-jam, but I feel motivated to do so now!
(Great minds think alike, as they say)
Couldn't really play it, the dice wouldn't allow me to place them. nice game concept though
Ah, not again! Do the symbols above "READY" not accept the dice when you drag them? What browser do you use?
using chrome
This game is unplayable.
Dragging the dice only shows the 🚫 symbol.
I'm sorry to hear that! Do the symbols above "READY" not accept the dice?
No.
Huh, peculiar. Try using different browsers, I suppose; I can't update the game.
On the topic, what browser and OS are you using?
Microsoft Edge and Windowns.
Interesting dice input system! Enjoyed the digging concepts. Could use maybe a tutorial in game to help explain the dragging the dice to the corresponding slots. Nice work on game mechanics though!
