Art is on point 👍 Music suits the scene really well.

I think it would be a bit easier if we had some time to read the info before being thrown into the game, I felt like I never had time to memorize everything and I had to go back and forth between the dice and each panel, looking for the indicator for the smallish next player icon.

Good submission 😊

No Time to Dice 🎲

Thank you for your kind words! :D

We are working on polishing the game, so the feedback is much appreciated! A tutorial is definitely planned, as well as adding more time for the player to think through their next move.

The concept is really creative but I don't think they're much involved in the dice as the player chooses from 1 to 6. It is a great family game with many like and dislike concepts but sometimes I feel it is a bit fast and hard to understand the full mechanics.

Thanks for playing!

Our goal was to remove the randomness from these kinds of board games. So the family is the one who is playing (in the game world) and you are the dice (the randomness)

Awesome concept!

At firt we didnt understood what to do, but once we payed atention to the info beside each of the characters it was pretty intuitive, so we got it in our second run haha.

Awesome work, keep it up!

Happy to hear that you liked it! Especially that you went for a second run. :D

The idea is really original. The pacing is amazing and even if the first round I didn't actually understand what I had to do, the art the music the pace made it fun anyway. I've read a bit the instructions on the page (i admit it i should have done it before lol) and now it makes much more sense. It's hard to keep track of everyone preferences with the speed of the game, but I don't think it's a negative thing. I feel like it's a difficulty curve and mastering the game is learning to keep track of everything. Really enjoyed the experience, also the pixel art is top quality!!!

Thanks! It fills our hearts with warmth to hear such positive feedback. To be honest I didn't plan to make the game this fast (although speed was an essential part) but I'm glad you liked it anyway. :)

Absolutely amazing what you guys managed to pull off in 48 hours!

The art is stunning! The music also fits the game.

At first I was a bit confused what you had to do, but eventually I got it!

The only thing that could be added is some sort of tutorial and sound effects!

Besides that, amazing Game!

Thank you! We were also thinking of some sort of tutorial, but we sadly ran out of time.
We are planning to make things a bit clearer in the final release.

I really like the concept and mechanics! Very hard game though, especially since you get thrown in without much explanation.

I do like how you are essenctially trying to keep everyone happy and how you have to switch your thinking mode a lot when switching from 1 familiy member to the other. The dogo is also very precious.

I think this mechanic is strong enough to revolve a whole game around. Very well done :)

You're the Dice, Ruin the Game

Thank you! We also checked out your game and saw that you went for the opposite. :D
The dog also is thankful for the compliment.

This is a really interesting game and it deserves more comments/ratings! I really like the concept that you went for, it's definitely relatable lol and it's different than anything else I've played so far. My one critique is that the timer feels too fast for me. I had a hard time keeping everything straight as far as what each player likes, dislikes, who's turn it is, etc., so I would lose track sometimes and just have to pick a number randomly. Overall though, I like the game a lot. Nice job!

Thanks, we are glad that you liked it! :)

(The timer became a bit too fast, I can agree, the game still needs polishing and playtesting.)
