Cool idea! Pretty simple, but still engaging

Oh, it's very clever idea. Great entry!

I assume that it would be more predictably moves if you draw a trajectory instead of curve arrow.

And you can add some different arenas with some obstacles)

Also one time I pushed away my opponent's dice so that he couldn't be seen but still counted.

I like the idea, it reminds me of pétanque :D

Had to look up what that is haha, yeah you're right!

It's a very french thing I think, I'm not surprised you had to look it up :D

The concept and mechanics are pretty cool... I agree with @Depenau about the dice trajectory. However, it's still a really cool game!

Developer

cheers! :)

Simple but good idea. The nature of dice makes it so its very hard to decide their trajectory (they can switch directions very randomly when rolling along the floor), so I would've like to maybe throw them in from above, instead of roll them in. I think that would make it more strategic and less random.

Developer

Youre exactly right, the curving mechanic didn't work out quite like I wanted because I didnt stop to think that a die doesnt roll and spin quite as well as a sphere 😆 I wonder if I could have used a sphere as the physics object instead and faked a die on top...

Thank you for the feedback :)

You could maybe use more rounded dice, like D20s
