The core idea is really good. I love some roguelike/1-of-3 mechanics.
A bit more choice and control as a player would really give this game a hook, so I could have more influence over the game state. Special dice, improving/changing/upgrading the tiles on the board, stuff like that to really make it feel like I have an influence over things.
We also made a roguelike, so if you'd like some more of that kind of game please give it try. Would love to hear your feedback!
The core idea is great and it makes a lot of fun. Would like a bit more controll over the dice outcome <3 Hope you make a nice game out of it. The game loop is catchy with the monopoly vibes.
Liked the simple RPG elements and Great potential for turning into a mini rogue-like with huge player agency. Loved the artwork too. Great Work. You nailed it!
Would love your feedback on my game too ^^
i really like how well the art ties into the game itself!! it feels very cohesive. the difficulty scaling is also super well made. i think this is a very solid base, and i would love to see if you plan on developing this game further!! amazing work <3!!
The visuals and mechanics tie beautifully together! It was a really well balanced game experience! Which is really impressive for a game jam project! I really enjoyed this creative take on the theme!
Quite surprisingly addictive. The improvement I would focus on is the fact that the game does rely a lot on luck and not enough on player's choice / skill (as others have mentioned). For example, whether you found health / leveled up right before a boss defines if you continue or just lose.
Lost at loop 9
The visuals are beautiful! I love the perspective :3 Great game!

game is so cool, really beautiful artwork and interesting game
The visuals are really stylish, and I like the fusion of board games and RPGs. The looping nature of the board reminds me a lot of Monopoly. (They share some other mechanics as well - the existence of taxes, the get-out-of-jail-free card, even collecting money when you pass Go.)
The game definitely needs more interaction, though. Other than picking items to buy (which is usually an easy decision), it’s entirely clicking one button and waiting. I died on the third boss, but I didn’t feel like it was something I could’ve avoided. It’s also a pretty long game, which can get tedious when you’re not doing much. I like the concept of preparing for a boss as you go around the board, but even just a little bit more player choice in the matter would make the game a lot more fun.
This is a very enjoyable game, but id love some sort of control over the movement, maybe different paths or (collecting) different dice? if thats against the vision then having the rolling be automatic might be interesting, putting the emphasis far more on the cards and card variety.
The art and music is very clean, although i would have liked to see different backgrounds rather than the white nothing for the different "levels", other than that its very solid, i love the little hopping animation of the character.
super satisfying and overall really cohesive, the art, sfx, effects all worked so well!! really the only thing id change would be to add more decisions for the player. great work :)
The art and sound are solid—I ended up playing for a good while. It’d be cool to see more strategic options beyond pure luck, but overall very polished and fun.
Definitely one of the best games I've played so far in the jam.
super fun, still felt like I had agency despite just rolling. A very polished looking game for being made in such a short time.
This game is really cool ! I love the art, and the gamefeel is great even though the game is kinda slow paced.
I think the game needs more impactfull choice options, I didn't feel like I had much choice in my playthrough, there was often just one best option, and that's it.
But great game nontheless !
This game is really nice, the art and sounds are great but i just wish there was something meaningful i could do not just depend on my luck. Anyway i played it for strong 15 minutes even though i was just clicking roll and buying everything i afford :)
In spare time please also rate my game
Very cool art style! 5/5
Suprisingly fun even though you just click one button :D But man, that grim reaper guy hates me so much, I stepped on him like every other loop. Maybe adding items that can modify your dice roll would be fun?
omg the art is amazing! I love it. Cool idea (it's the fun version of monopoly? haha) and very polished! congrats!
me with 200 tax vouchers and 0 armor and i hit always the combat panel LOL
