Looks and feels are really nice, gratz. I really like how You went all in with the mechanics and explored almost all possibilities in the field, like this randomizing points to the ally when hitting it. I also liked that the dead dice stay in the field and block movement.

Honestly I think the mouse control was almost okay, though its not that good on touch (there's no way to see the number on the dice above because it says "pass"). And I see You apparently have no idea how to fix it. The throw button could very well be in the middle of the screen and there would be no problem with pressing beneath it. You could also utilize double taps, like a confirmation to pass, to move, or even You could do changing modes (move/pass/throw) but this could slow down the flow of game. If You focus only on mouse, then you could also utilize right mouse button to pass, simple - though probably not so if You have a touchpad.

I really disliked the RNG. The game can go well and then suddenly it flips on its head and you lost. Great. You could fix this by just providing what values will come next. Like in tetris, where You see what piece will be next, You could just show the next number and change only one each time. This would however change the game a bit, minimized the chaos factor. You could also just show all next numbers, but it would be difficult to do it in a visually pleasant way.

Maybe it could go completely another way around, like displaying the numbers on the field, and have them randomly move left, right, up down. Or randomize only at the beginning of the game, but when You kill the enemy You get its weaker number, which would balance the game evenly. Possibilities are probably endless;)

What a game! What an excellent game! The moment I understand passing and realized it's kinda puzzle game.. Oh my.. It is turn based but still a lot of action there. Music helps a lot. Even that small detail when I tried overshoot my teammate and it decrease his value with that ouch animation.. And it has multiplayer.. This has to go to top 10!

the way the music shifts around keeping it from getting too repetitive. the art looks excellent very clean, and readable, the color choices work great to contrast the background and both come together for a nice cute and wholesome look. 

I certainly didn't die on the tutorial level trying to figure it out and I don't know who told you that but after a round of messing around the gameplay was intuitive and reminded me of a light version of tactics style gameplay.

Unfortunately There's not much feedback I have in regards to improvement, one pretty tiny thing was I didn't know what hot seat was on the menu until I clicked it. I suppose there is room for a few quality of life things like a slightly more comprehensive tutorial and level select but again I'm really digging deep for that.  Over all excellent job!

Very interesting mechanics!

Now I see why you complained about my AI when I see this clever one you've made, it was fun watching it putting it's plan to work.

I'm guessing it's some sort of backwards targeting? Like it knows what dice it wants to hit and then brute forces its way to see if it is possible from it's current state? Or maybe it's just brute forcing from the current state forward and picking the best result. I would like to know what method you use.
The only thing I had troubles with was clicking on the square behind another dice, but I guess your hotkeys probably helps with that.

Great work!

Polished and really fun to play. It feels super satisfying when your plans go the right way and when the other side rolls higher dice, it surprisingly doesn't feel unfair for me. Overall a very well-designed game and I absolutely love it!

Great job — as always your games are second to none in terms of juice and polish!

The good:

• Graphics, audio, animations. Everything is bouncy and the UI is responsive and has character.

• I really liked the passing mechanic, and the “bonk” mechanic once I realized how it worked. There’s a good amount of strategy for planning out moves while making sure you have your best odds of reducing damage the next turn.

• Your team slowly gets more and more hats

Areas of improvement:

• The UI for passing and throwing could be better. There was at least one time I got confused which player was holding the ball, and at least one time I clicked “throw” on accident while trying to pass the ball to the player ahead of me (lost me the finals too!)

• Obviously the die rolling is a central mechanic given the theme of the jam, but there were times it felt pretty bad — especially given that there are certain enemies that are literally impossible to kill/block if they get slightly lucky. I’m not sure if you had some behind-the-scenes logic to help the player out on the RNG, but if not that might be a way to help a little. (Something like power-ups, such as shields or damage multipliers, might help give the player more tools to fight against the odds as well)

• I think this might be a game where having really good enemy AI might actually be a bad thing. There were a few times the enemy AI pulled some crazy maneuver to take out my highest numbers that involved a four or five member pass, and proceeded to wipe my team in one turn. Given that the enemy’s dice are so much stronger than the player’s, maybe it’s okay if the AI blunders a little more often.

Honestly all of those are pretty nitpicky in the scheme of games made in 48 hours. Amazing work!
