HELL IS HAUNTEDI had a fun little run, and the mechanics are quite intuitive once you give it a couple minutes.
I was surprised by the amount of character you managed to squeeze in.
Having an in-game introduction to the game world was very cool.

Epic Galaxy Getaway 3000Very interesting take on the theme with the dice game mechanics.
The graphics and sound were simple but effective and the tutorial was straight forward, did have some trouble with UI with understanding what the item/dice would do, sometimes when hovering it would explain other times it would not.
The difficulty felt good although I beat it on my first try I was close to death a couple of times, I will say once you eliminate the first enemy from a group the battle was very easy, need something to balance that out - don't have suggestions unfortunately.
Thanks for submitting it was fun

The Castle of DarknessSo finally I have enough time to try this out, I really like the whole idea and the choices you provided. The graphics are simple, but I still like the UI layout, feels very intuitive, and I love the node-map that you provided for progression. Are the nodes semi-randomly generated?
I have to point out that after I tried playing for the second time, I got stuck in the very first battle, the end turn button doesn't seem to do anything, doesn't matter if I wait or click it multiple times, even reloading the page did not help, it was stuck again after clicking through the intro. I'm using Chrome, not sure if it matters. I'll revisit later to see if it still persists.

AuntedThank you, the nodes are indeed semi random. There are a total of 4 maps with different layouts. Except for the nodes in the first column and the boss, all the nodes can be either a regular battle, an elite battle, a rest point or an item point, with every type having a weight of how big the chance is that that one is chosen.
Someone else has also reported having trouble with the end turn button, though I haven't been able to replicate it. There's definitely still some bugs in there that need fixing.
Well thought out game and nice progression. I enjoyed the dice mechanic kinda like Farkle or that other dice game where you have to reach a certain number. Good use of sound and UI.

ReapperitionsA nice little spire-like with some slick elements. Could see this being a bit addictive especially with more variations in mechanics!

Phixer & FantomFun mechanic and good execution. Was fun seeing all the ghost types and the strategy was easy to get into after understanding the UI. Great work

Cooking with BooI had fun rolling the dice. Too bad I had my dice get stuck twice.

Haunting Business TycoonI defeated Fiona the Spoiled! Honestly at first I thought it seemed kind of boring but during the second battle it really clicked with me and I started seriously enjoying myself! In fact during one of the later battles the “end turn” button broke for a minute and I got really worried that I my run was ruined but it started working again after a kept clicking it hahaha. The art was not the game’s strength but it wasn’t bad. The gameplay was very fun once I got the hang of it! Overall, super solid, polished submission and I hope you’re proud of what you made! :D

Shadowing Spectres 👻Congratulations on defeating the boss. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. With the art I mostly wanted to challenge myself and improve it compared to my last submission, where the art was mostly just rectangles.
Strange that the end turn button stopped working. I've never seen thar happening. There's definitely still some bugs in there that I need to fix.
Bosca Ceoil is a great program to start with, super intuitive! It’s what I first used
Great game! I love brutal orchestra so this was a blast! The textbox is nice to look at and i like the enemies sprites. The story is good and the three rerolls were a great strategy mechanic. Good game!
