Holy cow.  This game has a great tabletop vibe.  It looks just beautiful.  The marching of the dice towards the castle has a real impending doom feel.  It gets really desperate and fun.  great work

Looks very beatiful, gameplay is interesting, but I have bug with endless fight button

Submitted

Negative feedback : since it's a windows game, it could use some kind of menu screen ; the left/right of the screen is cropped and the 'Fight' button can be clicked multiples times which leads to some unexpected results. 

Positive feedback : I liked the idea and enjoyed thinking how to win. Nice work  !

I wasn't able to see to the left and right ends of the screen because unity doesn't work well with 4:3 screens. The game was still playable and worked well. Cool game and idea!

Was really confused on the rules but you guided me through it on discord, really quite fun, a lot of strategy involved and I like the physics dice roll.

Lovely art and sounds, well done :)

It took me a while to understand that I was supposed to be defending my castle on the right. I was defeating the enemy fairly easily without them leaving the first column and just assumed it was some weird luck that they weren't spawning anywhere else on the board. I'm not sure what the best solution would be but I think it needs to be clearer that it's a wave of dice moving toward the castle

All the instructions on how to play are on the itch.io page, it was specified there, it is sad you didn't read them :/

Do you read the steam store page to learn how to play a game?

Players don't like reading

I am aware of this, but I did not have time to make a playable tutorial, anyhow, if you still don' understand how to play, I can give you my discord and explain  how to play personally how to play.

I really liked this game! Seriously. I was a bit confused at first but I think this is a fun tower defense/strategy game hybrid. Cool concept!

Also I really like the boardgame esque art, it looks great.

Thank you!!

The basic idea is quite interesting as it makes you come up with different strategies to maximize your chance of destroying as many enemy dice as possible. The animations are quite funky too.
