Fun game. The AI was a little underpowered, as I won 10 times in a row, but well made!

Great concept, i really like the art and this is pretty enjoyable but the design feels too common since there are just too many game with this mechanics
The gameplay was simple and easy to understand! It was quite fun to play because it took some thinking to actually have a good prediction. Good job!
Graphically this game looks great. Mechanically the game is very simple, but that isnt a bad thing, because it allows for a very polished experience, that runs very well and with few hiccups. Now despite the game being simple it actually takes some thinking to win and i like that. Glad I played this, its pretty cool.
Ok so hear me out. Mathematical expectation for a sum of 3 dice is 10,5 (since it's 3,5 for each die), this gives us an optimal strategy in terms of maximizing our chances - look at what you have, add 10,5 and compare the result to what the pirate predicts.
While the game might be very simple, the art, music and soundeffects all combine to create a good gamefeel. It is a finished (if maybe small) product with no bugs, or other issues, that looks and plays great.
Nice work on short time. I like the art. I would have made the gambler a bit "smarter" though and only made legal guesses (like, I rolled something very high and he guessed an impossible/low total? or vice versa)
For 10 hours very good. Would have maybe added button click sound effects but that's it. The game doesn't feel unfinished or incomplete.
I dig the vibe you set up with the game. Simple and relaxing time passer. Fun gambling game. Would love to see this expanded with other patrons you can play simple games with. Maybe add a currency you can gamble and collectables. Love the art it's fantastic. Great job.
Aside from the well-made presentation that everyone is commenting about, I'd like to also highlight the smart AI in this game. Many of these types of dice guessing games involve not only mathematical skill, but also psychological analysis. When the enemy declared a low number, and I had an average hand, I guessed lower, as his guess was probably already low for him to declare such number. And my plan worked! A very small moment, but a satisfying one. Thanks for the experience, and congrats on the game.
