Great job! Super polished experience, your profile description does not lie ;)
Loved the re-rolling system, it ensured that the rng wasn't frustrating since you had more control over it whilst still letting you get excited over the rare occurrences (like getting enough yellow dots to perform a special attack).
The fact that you created this by yourself in only 48 hours is astonishing!
My only point of feedback would be that I found it difficult to know how close I was to defeating the boss, loved that you got hints for what the boss was about to do though :)
Thank you for your detailed review! The monster's body is a die, number of dots represent's its health. I really should've given him a proper healthbar though...
I can't believe I missed that... it is a really nice way to present the health and now that I replayed the game it is very clear when the boss looses health. Perhaps it would be a little clearer if the dice values utilized a different colour than the body though🤔
Fair point!
Funny enough my game is also called Dice Knight! :)
I enjoyed the simple mechanics, very easy to get into and there was some strategy involved due the reroll mechanic.
Very polished, well done!
Again, great minds think alike!
Very cool and polished proof of concept! Enjoyed it. :)
Would be great to see this have more content in the future!
Awesome game! Fun and cuts right to the chase.
Looks amazing, plays amazing, is amazing! This game was a fun time, I like that the dice act as currency -- I hadn't seen that before playing this game.
The enemy and UI are beautiful!
My game has a very similar combat system haha, but with some bugs and a much worse presentation, congratulations!
Perhaps try working on it after the jam? I think it might be worth it!
Amazing job on the art, music and general polish!
However the idea doesn't seem to original, as its pretty to close to a classic yatzy game
And I think you would need some more info about the enemy to make more meaningful decisions
Thanks for feedback! I've never heard of yatzy though.
Well, interesting concept ^^
Pretty solid concept here. I feel like this would make up the battle mechanic for a full dice knight rpg.
Two minor improvements:
Other than those things, the rest of it was really great and very enjoyable. I would definitely play a full version of this if you made it!
Fabulous. I would love to play a full version of this, where you can customize your dice between fights to balance your potential to roll certain abilities
Absolutely beautiful, I really liked the color palette in particular.
I can definitely see the combat system working well as part of a larger game. Good proof-of-concept.
insane art, good sound and feel. the polish was insane for 2 days of effort.
game was slightly confusing to me at the start but after i figured it out it was fine. personally wasn't the biggest fan of the game loop, maybe if there was a way to buy dice or something. as it stands u basically just do magic hit like 3 or 4 times and win
I didn't spend much time balancing the game - that's one thing. It's my first time making an RPG. The game isn't as fun as it could be mainly because I didn't have time to implement cards (change dice, extra move, more rerolls, etc.)
I liked the art and music a lot, and the dice roll sound was very satisfying :D
Thank you! I spent a lot of time getting the dice roll visuals just right.
Love the graphics and sounds! Wish there was more in this game but still liked the gameplay!
Thanks!
Awesome presentation! Simple game play but very addictive. Great work, congrats!
Addictive you say? Amazing!
Really good game! Looks good, plays well. Multiple aspects of the dice. The only thing is that it isn't anything new, but that didn't stop me from liking it!
Well, there is not much you can reinvent in less than 48 hours.
Just my opinion! No worries, I do think you did well
Your opinion is valid
Wow! The presentation is really good. The gameplay is pretty snappy when you get the hang of it. I found that you can easily beat it just by spamming magic attacks. A solid entry. 4/5 Cheers!
Cheers!
Barely won on the last unit of health. great game with good graphics.
Very similar to mine. Apparently inspired by the same XD (blink if it's dice throne)
Hahahahahah, my man!
Amazing
