Cute art style! Turns out I have bad luck.
music is down right amazing, really liked the artwork as well. I'm pretty sure i have failed every mini game but still got to heaven
Art was brilliant and the gameplay was fun, although very hard to learn. I think maybe more time should have been spent explaining how to play...
loved the art style, and the atmosphere
I didn't understand how to play at first, but once I did it was a great game.
Really love the artwork and the atmosphere. Great job on this! It's fun that you combined several mini-games this way.
It was a unclear for me what the method was of selecting the dice. A small introduction would have helped here.
Beautiful game with really lovely art. I liked how the gameplay reflected the story you were telling and how each mini game felt different. A clever implementation of theme.
A very memorable game, thank you for making this.
We all love this comment, one of us said we should frame it and then the other (me lol) said we should just tattoo it :)) Thank you for such a nice message! ^^
I love the art and the idea I really cool. I like how the text appears on random objects. Overall it was very cool, just wish it was a bit more interactive.
Oh this game feels like a love letter. It's nice and pretty and doesn't necessarily present itself as a "dice" game which is always plus points for me. Great work!
Thank you so much for appreciating our work! The first sentence felt lovely to read <3
Visuals were amazing and it had an interesting story. I found it hard to understand why the dice kept not appearing and i had no idea what to do with the roles, though after trying for a little bit it was a little to easy to just role 4, 5, and 6's. This went by fast!
I'm not sure I understood you right, if I didn't, feel free to correct me. In some mini-games you had to count to six without seeing the numbers, but using the rhythm of the sound you hear. We'll try to make that more clear next time. Thank you for your feedback, hope you enjoyed the game!
I really enjoyed the visuals! It would be nice to see the gameplay evolve a bit more. Really nice work :)
Great visuals. The whole thing felt cohesive and stylized. One small tweak that I think would help would be to not have the text lines move when a new line is written.
I didn't really think about it but now that you said it, I see it. It would really make the display of the text smoother. Thanks for the feedback, helps a lot!
An Intresting take on the theme. The presentation is amazing!
Well done!
thanks a lot! ^^
Presentation is very nice but I did not feel any control or sense of gaming other than just pressing spacebar.
Thanks for your feedback! Would you say for you this issue is coming more from the structure of the mini-games or just the fact that the only control key in the game is the spacebar? I would guess a little bit of both maybe?
best game of the year 10/10 better than half-life 2
i just love this comment :)))
Great take on the theme. I always enjoy visually based games. The idea is great and the artworks look amazing, while the music fits. Yet I would like to have more interactivity Good job
Thank you for your thoughts and feedback! For me personally (1 out of the 3 devs) really good game mechanics are very tricky to come up with,,, everything I come up with accidentally becomes visual novel-y. Will try to think even harder about interactivity next time for you! 💪
really interesting concept and great visuals!
I was hooked, the crush puzzle stumped me for a second, good job making the beats hard to follow for that one. Wasn't sure how the ending worked but I assume it was randomly picked amongst the 6 values you got (it picked my only 2... sadness)
Thanks! The beats for the crush mini-game are randomly generated hehe >:) As for the ending, lets just say its a randomized dice roll with a sprinkle of bad luck 🌟
The illustrations are killer! If I had to make a suggestion, it would be to add some more interactive gameplay to the mini games.
Thank you so much! We checked out your game and yours are AMazing as well! Thank you for your feedback!
Beautiful art. A little confused at first on how to play the mini games at first but figured it out on a second playthrough. Fun little story!
