This is so thrilling & gripping. Nice little narrative & atmosphere that you build there. I'd love to see this expanded/improved. You can add more shocking moment, for example when you are executed, you hear a gunshot & the body dropped or something haha

Overall this is a good foundation for a great experience, I think I got a bit of inspiration myself from this, anyway excellent job!

Developer

I'm very delighted you liked the plot and setting! Now that you bring it up, I definitely should have included the sound of a gunshot.

Thank you, I sincerely appreciate your kind compliments!

This is great! By the end I felt incredibly tense - the ambient audio, the uncomfortable beep of the prompter and the pressure to get the exact score required added up to make a really uncomfortable experience (in a very good way)

You've done a great job with worldbuilding within a small amount of dialogue - loved the dystopian themes and the cruelly absurd justice system you created!

Thank you for your visit! I'm glad that you enjoyed the story and atmosphere.

Great dystopian world and a good story. I think the theme of the jam is very well implemented. The only issue i had is to control the dice. It was very difficult and sometimes it didn't work at all. Unfortunately, the game also needs a bit of time to become exciting gameplay wise. But overall i think this game is well done. Good job.

Thank you very much for the visit!

I did figure the dice controlling mechanic was quite challenging, but if I have a chance to revisit this, I would love to improve upon it. 

I really appreciate your feedback!

Great story and metaphor, just wish there was more gameplay

Developer

Thank you for your visit!

I am relatively new to coding, so I didn't put many resources into the expansion of mechanics rather than the coherency of existing mechanics.

It ended up as a short story-based game, but I'm glad you enjoyed the story bit of it!

Hey, this one was pretty good! It's a little difficult to control the die, but it's an interesting metaphor for how decisions can be left up to fate. Good job!

Developer

Thank you! I really appreciate it!
