Good use of theme. I wish that the distance you throw the dice wasn't tied to trying to reroll. I almost never got a hit with the lighting because the spiders were too close and I held down to land on that side so it just flew way past them. I wish some reference to what each number did was visible in the main part of the game. It was fun seeing the different attacks. Good job.

Very simple, yet pretty fun. It does eventually have the issue where I began throwing out dice out of panic, but still, pretty nice!

Little DiceNice game, one of the better "vampire survivors" style games due to the variety within the skills :) Great job!

Dice with Kaliwow this gets brutal fast haha i love it. I managed to get to wave 7 before getting destroyed by the ghost. Seriously this goes in my favourites list, with some polish and additions could really be a great game. The only thing I'm not sure I like is that the abilities swap numbers each game. I mean i get why you went for that and it makes sense, but it's hard to remember for the first 2-3 waves. Maybe you can keep the rng of the abilities number but show on the screen during gameplay which side is what ability. Other than that, I had a lot of fun, this should get more attention

Super Dice BoySuper nice concept! Really liked it!
A money/merchant mechanism could also be introduced to customize one’s dice every X rounds. We’re close to the birth of a solid small rogue-like game!

Haunted House: Dice til DawnThe visuals are simple but work. The sound effects are fine but i feel like the game lacks some music.
As for the gameplay, I feel like there should be a delay before the die starts rolling because otherwise the first roll that is displayed is useless (since it is replaced by another one even if you do a quick click).
Also, I feel like the fact that your attacks are randomized each round doesn't add much besides confusing the player. Indeed, having to learn which number does what each time you replay the game is not fun and does not really add much to the gameplay.
Also, the healing cloud feels useless since you have to be inside it to heal up but you can't stay there since enemies are coming for you from all sides.
