Yooo. nice game, it is kind of addicting. I'm really in love with games that are a mix of luck and skill. The dopamine gets ya every time you win.

The idea of the dice was really clever. All of the different dice and upgrades fit in super well with each other. I really liked the Jacksepticeye Dice. It was a really cute nod to him and I got really lucky with it a bunch of times.

Developer

I'm stoked to see that you enjoyed the game! Wasn't sure how many people would see the Jacksepticdie lol, glad you got the reference!

This was a very cool game and idea.  I like the shop a lot and the idea of sacrificing dice to buy bones is very cool.

Developer

Glad you enjoyed my interpretation of the theme, thanks for playing!

Extremely polished and fun game, reminds me of Balatro. Only addition i would like you to give is adding like small info bubble when you hover the mouse over the "roll" "sacrifice" and other buttons (i forgot which one was which and pressed one wrong button). I also love the clicking sounds its really satisfying.

Developer

So happy you love the game! I won’t lie, it was definitely inspired by Localthunk’s work. I’ll add info buttons to the roll/sacrifice stuff, that’s a good idea

It's a very nice, clean game. I really like the premise; it reminds me of that POTC dice game where they played for their souls. nice work

So glad you liked it! I actually considered adding skeletons/pirates as characters or in-game bosses, but the time constraints killed that dream off ☠️

Fun and playable, I appreciate that the difficulty scales so you can get some wins in while you figure out what's going on (I skipped the tutorial lol). Made it into round 8. Art, sounds, and animation were all very poppy and nice. It would be nice to see some "dice synergies" or ways to roll dice together, having a row of dice in front of you but only rolling one at a time is tease haha. Nice work!

Developer(+1)

love the dice synergy idea. I’d love to include it in a future build. You’re right about the dice rolling at once lol, I’ll add that too!


thanks for playing, it means a lot!

I enjoyed playing. The background was scrolling a little too fast, but that's just personal preference. I didn't really utilize the multiple dice slots, but managed to make  it pretty far with the 4x dice. Well done!

Developer

Thanks so much for playing! Glad you enjoyed it. Regarding the background, I’ll slow it down in a future update or add a modifier that can turn scrolling on/off


Thank you for your feedback!

Really really fun! A little bit janky at times(chaning screen size lets you see things you shouldn't which confused me at first), and you can run through seeing at the different dice pretty fast, but it was made in only a few days, so this is really impressive!! I will keep playing this :3

Developer(+1)

So glad you liked it! Sorry about the camera issue, I had no idea that was a thing. I’m hoping to update it after the jam and continue adding dice and bug fixes since it is definitely a little janky at times 😅
