Fights take a little too long, but other than that its quite sweet! Heres a cool idea though: A little item or upgrade of some way allows you to remove a side from the dice, which in turn makes your rolls more consistent

Also AOE is kinda too good but other than that great work!

Developer

Thank you for the feed back!! The balance is not quite right, we didn't have the time to play test it, but still thank you for playing!!

Great concept. Really like that you can manipulate the dice sides and strategize against the randomness. Kinda reminds me of my entry in that regard. Great stuff overall!!!

Developer

Thanks, your game is very fun too!!

very cool game. i like how the control is removed from you by randomising the combat process, but you retain the ability to choose upgrades. it makes for an interesting dynamic. 
i found the art quite nice, but the floor tiles imho have quite a bit of contrast which distracts from the actual information in the level.

Developer

The contrast on the floor is to indicate the grid, thanks for playing!!

The graphics, combat and especially movement all felt very clean and crisp, and it made for a really nice experience!

Great work!

It was a nice decision on a relaxed game between so mnay action ones in this jam ,overall had a good time, my fight did crash versus the spiders in the 3 level, might want to fix it :)

Developer

Sorry for the bug :( But thank you for playing :D

Sweet game! Love the artstyle and music, but I feel lack of interaction with the game.

Developer

Thanks for playing, I'll keep that in mind

Good game!

Developer

Thank you!! :D

Loved the idea! It’s easy see how this could be expanded upon, for a dicebuilder roguelike game. :)

The more frustrating part was that there was no way to remove options for your dice, so I couldn’t optimize my throws. :p

Developer

Hey that is a great idea!! Would try to implement this after the jam!!

I like roguelike games, this one is no exception.

Developer

Glad you liked it, Thank you!!!

graphics and play is nice, but I dont see the dice theme

Developer(+1)

The combat is done through dice roll and you upgrade your dice, thanks for playing!!

Submitted(+2)

The game looks and plays nice, I think I just wish there was more decision-making when it came to the combat, since it kind of just plays itself. Maybe rolling multiple options and getting to pick one? Or in multi-enemy combats, getting different types of attacks or spells you can apply to the different enemies?

Developer

We actually had that in mind, having multiple type dices and more combat options, but sadly the time stopped us, we try to keep it simple to meet the time, thanks for playing!! 

Submitted

I agree, those could be cool additions!

Extremely fun roguelike! The art was so cute and enjoyable, I feel like this game could make a great mobile rpg haha :D

Developer

Glad you like it, we'll consider making a fully fleshed out game!

Submitted(+1)

Satisfying gameplay loop, and the sounds you choose all fit well together. Nice relaxing game, great job!

Developer

Glad you like it, your game is fun too!

very cool graphics and its kinda like prodigy without math

Developer

Thanks glad you like it :D

Submitted(+1)

Interesting game! The graphics is nice as well.

It will be much better if the pace of the combat could be faster.

Developer

Hi Feather! Thanks for playing, sad we don't have enough time to tweak the game feel and balance, but I'm glad we finished something haha

Submitted(+1)

Really nice game, if it were me, I would've given more control to the player in combat, but I don't think that's what you were going for. Regardless, awesome game.

Developer

Thanks for playing, initially we plan to have more dice options, more spells etc, but the time is too short, we're just glad we finished something.

Submitted(+1)

Managing the ever growing pool of dice is quite interesting when anticipating the upcoming enemies, but the battles can sometimes get stuck in awkward situations for a while which really slows the pace, especially when you’re hitting space over and over. I had to restart several times because pressing space just before the victory screen rolls the dice again and causes a softlock in the next battle. Some upgrades such as the max HP didn’t seem to do anything. Other than that it is a fairly relaxing game that’s nicely presented.

Developer

Sorry for the bugs :( We didn't have time to fully play test the game, but thanks for playing none the less ;)

Submitted(+1)

A good idea, a bit to slow paced for my liking but it has potential, I did encounter an issue when fighting the ghost enemies, the game got stuck and didn’t do anything.

Developer

Sorry for the bug we don't have time to fully play test, but thank you for playing!

A solid concept for a game, the artwork is very nice! I'd have liked to see faster movement speed, it was quite slow moving around the dungeons.

The fights are cool and quite satisfying when you get a crit and annihilate your opponent. The little dice roll sounds are very satisfying too. But pressing space over and over is a bit tedious, it could just play itself out.

The only other thing I noticed is standing next to a door takes you to the next level, when I expected to actually have to go through it.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! We'll definitely try to better the game feel after the jam!

Submitted(+1)

Didn't make the graphics or sound but they are well put together, gameplay is alright and it has quite a bit of depth to it, but its very repetitive. 

Developer

Initially we planned for more dice option and types, but had to settle because the time is up, thanks for playing none the less!
