Very nice art and idea

Submitted(+1)

i loved the art of the game, but it was missing some audio and feedback in the battles. i would love to see more added to this game, as it was a fun entry that stands out! awesome job

Developer

Thanks a lot!

Initially, there should have been visual and sound effects, but time was unforgiving this week-end -.-'
Player feedback is really lacking during the battles, and it makes them confusing, so that will be higher on my priorities when I'll participate in my next jam.

And for the additionnal content: we had so much more dice, effects and mechanic ideas that didn't make the cut (forge repair for a broken die, looting an opponent's die after a victory so that player have to choose between break a powerful die to secure victory or keep it intact to try and get it, combining powers, etc). We're not sure if we're going to make a V2, but we definitly consider it!

Glad you had fun! =)

The game was really fun once I understood how to play. I wish there was a tutorial in the beginning. (Mine doesn't have a tutorial in the actually game either.) I think that sound effects would have made the game even better. I really liked the unique dice that you could find. Great job!

Developer(+1)

Yes, unfortunatly, I didn't have time for player feedback nor sound effects, event though the interface designer made some in the models.
What I wanted was to make the game so easily readable that it wouldn't need a tutorial, since my last year's entry had waaaaay too much text and explications. But without feedback, the battles are confusing at first. :v

The unique dice were the first thing we though about when the theme was announced, since both the designer and I are huge fan of dice collection! We have created many more than those present in the game, with lots of fun/cool names, effects and descriptions. That was the most fun we had on this project. ^^

Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked it!

Took a little while to get the hang of but this is a really fun game!

I agree, UI should have been higher on my priorities, the battle system can be a little confusing without anything telling you that what you did... did something!

Thanks for trying it out, and glad you liked!

You received nice comments about the art of the game, but let me add this: mechanics are interesting and quite original! Ok, dice battles are quite traditional, but I really enjoyed how you implemented different type of dice, particularly the fact that you can acquire more and more and that you can, in fact, build your dice deck. Nice job!

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

That's true, and yet this is probably the aspect we spent the least amount of time on ^^'

Thanks a lot! We had a lot more ideas for Dice building that couldn't make it in time (more powers/dice, the possibility to repair a broken die at the forge, the possibility to loot an ennemy die after a victory, so that the player might not want to blindly destroy everything, etc), but I'm still happy we could fit in what we got!

Glad you enjoyed! =)

Submitted(+1)

Yes, all those ideas would be a nice add to the game! Surely the forge and the deck building mechanics are the strong point of the game, so you should definitely work on those!

I really like the styling of the game. Great submission

(just a precision about the art: we did not make the gods illustrations)
