The game is busted. You click the dice until you can't click it anymore and then it doesn't do anything. Can't even play it again. But nice effort.

I was low on time, didn’t have any ideas, and had little sleep, so I did what I could.

Hey Buddy, that's okay! Just think how much more amazing your next submission will be..? It will be fun to check back and see your growth from this one to another one! So don't give up! ^_^ You got this!

Developer

Thanks

Submitted

RNG is a little broken but a little game nonetheless :D Guess I'll forever be stuck getting 28 points hehe

Developer(+1)

Yeah, it’s an issue with the web build sadly. I’ve fixed it for the post-jam build

Submitted

Nice job getting something in! Cute lil program :)

Thanks, and it really is tiny

  • web: 817KB total or 447KB zipped.
  • desktop: 1.8MB total or 869KB zipped (nice)

This game seems pretty funny to me, how you took the concept and made the simplest idea that can arise from it, and I imagine working in c++ instead of using an engine makes things harder. nice

Developer

Working in C++ wasn’t too hard, I had a basic framework built up in a few hours.

Submitted

Too bad the rng seed didn't work properly in the web build! I see what you were trying to achieve, plain and simple. Still good job in making something in time! Still more than a lot of people can say :D

Developer

Yeah, at least I finished something.

Submitted

found the game quite funny lmao
congrats on uploading!

Developer

Thanks, I tried my best

Right now the RNG is deterministic. My guess is you didn't seed the random number generator with a different value each time the game starts. Usually people do that by seeding with the system clock time.

Developer

It was fine on the desktop build, but I didn’t fully test the web build, and didn’t notice it until it was too late to fix it. I’ve already fixed it for the post-jam build

Submitted

You know, it is what it is

Developer

It is indeed

I'll post the walkthrough here:

1, 2, 6, 5, 1, 3, 1 ,1, 3, 3, 3

Submitted(+2)

Next-level minmaxing going on over here! xD hehe

Developer

Yeah problems with the web build…

Submitted(+1)

My suggestion have two dice, two players bet on which dice scores higher, boom fun for the whole family.

Developer(+1)

Ooh, nice idea

Submitted(+1)

Hey, so it's super basic but you know that. Good job finishing something and submitting it! It opens, it starts, and it does what it's supposed to do! I call that a win. Obviously it's not going to be winning any awards but you should still be proud of yourself. The presentation is simple but I do like the style you chose! 

Developer(+2)

Thanks, I tried my best, but didn’t get very far.

Submitted

It's an interesting simulator. Honestly, one quality of life change could be to have a restart button so you don't have to refresh the page to play again!

Developer(+1)

Would have been a great feature. I’ll add it in the post-jam build

Submitted

Pretty basic. I like that there's a score at least.

Developer

Score was a very easy feature to add

Submitted

It's a very simple game. Great presentation though.

Developer

Sometimes the simplest of games get the most ratings.

Submitted(+1)

I cant see anything wrong here, the roll of the dice is clearly there

Developer

Shame there’s nothing else though

Submitted

A little basic, but it fits the theme!

Developer(+1)

And that’s what matters, right?

Submitted

Simple and clean

Developer(+1)

*Adds a ton of buttons in the post-jam build*

Submitted

It's too bad that the rng isn't working, but good to know that I will always have the highest score ;)

Developer

I didn’t realize the rng wasn’t working until it was too late, as it was working fine in the desktop version

Submitted

Well my best and only score seems to be 28, nice! Would be cool for there to be some kind of visual attatched to the dice rolls, like travelling along a bridge and you can see all of your previous attempts and when you beat them. 

At the moment, the game kinda plays itself, it's just some random numbers with no skill from my part! 

Submitted

And oh yeah, what's the textbox at the bottom for?

Developer(+2)

Yeah there was a problem with the RNG in the web build, not sure why. I couldn’t think of any more mechanics during the jam, otherwise there would have been a lot more. The box at the bottom is something emscipten made when compiling for web, I was too tired to try and remove it.
