.:° Enjoyment °:.

I did not enjoy playing this game but I could see the idea in action.


.:° Creativity °:.

Having islands pop up as a dice roll is interesting and is a creative way of building random levels. The gameplay mechanics idea is something I can get behind too as you could have a defender game that gets more and more difficult. Maybe give the game more time after the gamejam and develope it further.


.:° Presentation °:.

You used assets and showed where you got them from! Good touch. Also the chosen assets fit together completely okay.


.:° Score °:.

1/4/3


Stay crunchy.

I like how the game requires you to memorize the shortest path between each candle, which changes over time as the map gets bigger. The game is too easy in it's current state to make this an actual challenge but with proper balancing it can be a pretty good game loop. 

Dice itself growing and becoming the next tile on the map looks cool. The game needs polishing and some music/sound effects, but it's a pretty good prototype.
