Congrats on your first Game Jam submission. I hope it was as rewarding for you as my first time was for me.

Let me say, good job for a first Jam. You implemented a simple turn based combat system and stat system (which can be quite complex under the hood), animations, UI popups, upgrades, and art. For me, it was bug-free! Shiny mode was also a fun addition as a trade-off for more power <3

Now my 2cents of constructive critique. I will echo what others have said - try to focus a bit more on the Theme and Player experience. 

1. Theme: The dice rolls could have been replaced with a simple attack animation without really changing the game experience. This is a sign that the Theme is not being utilised to its potential.

2. Player Experience: I love traditional turn based battle systems so I am probably from this games key audience. I find the fun of these systems is in player strategic options. Apart from picking upgrades, I had no agency to influence the battle. I still played through to the end, but this was a let down for me. Even a simple Scissors-Paper-Rock (e.g. Physical > Magic > Counter> Physical) could have improved the experience substantially.

Good luck with your next Jam.

Simple dice rolling game.  Would love to see more detailed graphics.  But great job, it's not a lot of time to make a game from scratch

The game was fun, just felt kinda slow for me personally. I also was able to just, spend all of my money on damage and never lost! -Kaylee

The music was pretty good, although the art is pretty rough. My main feedback is that the player doesn't have much of a choice in combat, which makes it very dull. It's basically impossible to lose the game, and winning the game is as simple as pressing a button without any thought.

Beautiful art!
