Was unlucky enough to have an enemy die by poison first thing, and when his turn arrived and he died, the game waited for him to make a choice, causing a softlock bug.
But this was fun fun, so I refreshed :]
The intro has some character, the logo is clever, I love how the sprite for selecting a tile looks, the concept of a turn based dice roller roguelike is appealing, even the AI was solid!
I think having hot keys would make this game immensely more whole and satisfying - For example, digit keys to choose a die, arrow keys to scroll throw abilities and choose a tile, spacebar to confirm selection, etc.
Had the wizard's turn end early when I placed my 2nd die for a bombard spell - Might be a bug.
Magic Shield would have been sick for the fighter, if he weren't first in order, and my wizard's shield ability couldn't affect him in time haha
Sometimes enemies got extra dice, too
The bugs definitely bog down the game, but overall? The idea, the presentation, the amount of content? REALLY good.
Lost at level 6 :p Then threw in the towel
Thank you! We're super glad you enjoyed it and we do apologize for the bugs. Truth be told we were aware of most of them but were unable to fix them in time.
The project has a better reception than we anticipated, and I myself am quite in love with it, so I will be fleshing it out more and turning it into a full game.
So if you want to stay up to date with the progress, please consider following this itch page!
May your dice roll high! Cheers!
i really dig what you have going on here!! i like the way it makes turn-based tactical stuff into something that almost feels more like DnD, and the fact that you have to manually choose where to allocate your dice rolls is a REALLY clever resource management mechanic
Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed it! I'm planning on turning it into a full game, so please consider following my page if you want to be notified when I make progress on it!
Very fun and neat concept, reminds me of dicey dungeons in a way
Good job.
The camera sometimes doesnt update soon enough and the cards sometimes block the tiles.
Thank you!
You can move the camera with WASD or drag it with middle click. We should’ve explained that better :)
ohhhh yeah that makes sense, i guess my brain wasnt braining too
It's a great game ! At first I was a bit scared that the concept would be too brainy for my poor little eepy head, but actually it's easy to understand and extremely fun ! I found myself getting in the zone pretty quickly and I had a grand old time ! The animations and sounds could have been more elaborate and satisfying, but that is expected for a jam game. Over all, amazing experience, good job :3
