Hi! Wanted to stream the game today but new PC arrived earlier than expected so couldn’t.
Notes while playing: oh a wall of text for instructions, TL;DR
Good art
Ok, I put swords on sword and it attacked.
Can I not reroll dice? What is my agency as a player then? I think the game could play itself automatically round after round like a yolo casino dice autobattler. Ey, there’s a concept in that. (But probably already done tbh).
Oh ok so you need to swords to attack once.
The theme is a bit shoehorned I think.
Good sounds btw. No music though.
Hm you can interrupt the dice upgrade animation coming back in “hand”, so I accidentally upgraded twice in a row.
Hmmm all my dice are swords on the upgrade screen but it upgraded the heal anyway?
Ah so when the monster is upgraded, I need more dice to do actions if I understand correctly. The theme is less shoe-horned now.
Unusual that defense/block stays between rounds, but fits the difficulty/design of this one better that way.
Lost final battle - boss had 6hp left. I didn’t think very much about upgrading, probably should have upgraded less (I just kept upgrading until I got to ~40% failure). Haven’t really thought about it mathematically, but I think the skull downgrade is huge in impact compared to the upgrades.
Anyway solid entry, go make that Balatro-dice-autobattler I was talking about and good luck on winning the IRL casino of random indie millionaires.
