The art is very cool! I was a little confused on what to do though because there were no directions.
aa thanks for the compliment on the art :D, I'm curious what you found the issue to be with working out what to do? (just so we can improve upon it when we patch after gamejam ranking is done) If you mean the overall win condition, it was to get 5 notoriety but I can see that that's only mentioned once in the initial conversation with Death so is probably pretty easy to miss.
It seems super polished. I love the sounds, the illustrations, the humor. Despite the theme, it's surprisingly calming.
I could spend eternity just flicking the dice around, I loved how polished everything is! Wicked fun game and premise
This is a great idea and a fun game. Sometimes if you speed through the dialogue, the game glitches out and refuses to show a dialogue in the box, but I suppose that's my fault for skipping through. I really like the slower pace of this game, and the strategy is very appealing.
Nice :)
The tone, the art and the general idea is great. Playing with the dice is also satisfiying. I would love to see this game taken further:)
The aesthetic and humor is fun and I haven't seen the concept of rolling dice to complete tasks done is such a way! Cool concept with a really well done theme
Really good game, I love the texts on the back of the cards, it's funny. The atmosphere is great too! Well done!
Cool concept, very funny and witty writing. I liked the inclusion of different types of dice, that allows for this push-your-luck moments, when you decide to put just one d20 on the card and hope for the best.
I like the background as well, dying and dealing with Death chores is fun and creative idea. Nice job!
best game I've played on this jam so far! It's creative, charming, and fun. It has a gameplay loop that makes it last longer than most games on this jam. I'd definitely love to see this turned into a full-fledged game with a story!
This is really cool!! I really enjoyed the concept
Well polished game, all the effects were simple but worked well together to create a cool atmosphere. Great job!
Super creative, very well put together, easy to get the hang of, and fun/funny! Awesome work, this is the best game I've seen so far.
I love this game
Really good premise for a game! Fun writing, good gameplay and charming art make this a memorable experience.
Could do with some improvement obviously such as clearly showing which cards begin/continue a quest line and a case I had where I had to restart a run due to no longer drawing cards that gained me notoriety
Looking forward to your future games :)
Really creative idea and slick presentation! Even got a couple genuine laughs out of me.
Did get a bit tedious after a while though. The only real suggestion I have is to allow clicking to advance text and cards. Having to switch to the keyboard for one button in an otherwise mouse-controlled game is just a little bit annoying.
Nice game!
Loved the general humorous atmosfere, and the gameplay is very entretaining.
Fun and really well presented. The cards having activities on them was such a nice touch :)
For feedback, I kept wishing I could click away the “task complete” cards- I kept feeling like I could just use my mouse and then after every round I had to go back to my keyboard just to progress
Phenominal job! Your team really and clearly saw the vision of the game well, I imagine you all had different roles. Either way you should all be super proud. I'd honestly consider developing this further. Brilliant take on the brief!
Wow gorgeous! I really love the dice roll mechanics and how the dice return to the assigned cards.
This fits the theme perfectly
Aaa thank you - Glad you like it!! :D
