Insane game, good job! SFXs are funny and gameplay is addictive :D

Submitted

I found this from your devlog.  Really clever game. stands out from the bunch. I also really enjoyed the sfx all being made from your voice... really matched the game feel. Goal accomplished! ha!

wanted SOME kind of music, but I'm biased when it comes to music. could have been your decision to not include any. might interesting to make the songs the workers hum be parts of a complete orchestra. kinda like the Incredibox app.

Great game! I hope mark plays this one

Music would have totally helped to tie to together. But I was a solo project so I had to cut some scope down. Thanks for playing, means the world that you think it's good enough for Mark.

idk if you're adept with music but I'd love to make something for this if you develop it further. I'd aim towards something organic to compliment your all vocal SFX.

 (By that I mean I wouldn't use synth  instruments.) If not then no worries! Just really excited to work with folks.

Really impressive game! I do like that you published the devlog too... Great game, though!

Submitted

Good work I really enjoyed this game. Great game play, but I just ended up using the first 3 card. All the others felt like more work and didn't seem necessary to win. The was simple but did a great job at giving meaning to the game play and the sound effect made it charming and unique to play.

Developer

Yeah, I really needed like 5-10 more hrs to balance and properly reward you. Maybe I could have made each tier have it's own set of cards or something so you needed to use the various cards. Either way, thanks for playing.

Submitted

Great sound effects. I love the variety of things that can be done and the progression. The simple visuals worked, but definitely could have used more polish to help differentiate things and make it feel more juicy.

Developer(+1)

Totally agree, but I'm glad the core of the game came through. Thanks for playing.

I absolutely adore all the sound effects in your game. I intentionally didn't finish levels because I just wanted to keep playing.  It feels like there's so much for a 48 hour game. Super great job!

Submitted(+1)

Played through the whole thing! I assumed there was some time pressure- like the workers dying if they ran out of food. But when I realized they didn't I started enjoying it more, and it became more like a comfy resource management / strategy game. Reminded me of games like Doodle god. Really enjoyed this one - massive undertaking for one person. Gonna watch the devlog now. Great job!

Developer

Yeah, my goal was to focus on making a game that felt good to play with mouth sound effects. I'm glad you enjoyed the game and found the zen side of it. Cheers!

Submitted

It's a fun game, but it sometimes feels a little slow.

Submitted

Nice management game.

Too bad I can't read the text. Too low contrast with the background.

Developer

Yeah.... stupid past me. What a silly monkey.

Submitted

The sounds really add to it, but I felt somewhat stuck once I completed the board the third or fourth(?) time, since it didn't seem to continue anymore. Also really odd to play while you actually stream.😉

Nice Game!

Submitted

Super cool idea! Really love the concept and it's quite satisfying building up the production line for the required dice. Maybe some way to automatically take dice from one card and put them into another would help reduce the chaos a bit. Super cool for a game jam game

Developer

Yaeh, that would have been nice.. but I had to cut scope as I did this solo. Thanks for playing :)

Submitted

Hey, thanks for playing my game on stream!

I really enjoyed my time with your jam game. I liked that their wasn't a lose condition - it was a relaxing play to get the right dice. And the little voice effects for the different workers/actions were a fun touch. 

I think I would have preferred some way to collect all rolled dice in one part of the screen some way. As it is, they just kinda get thrown everywhere which lead to some confusing piles of stuff to sift through. But that's a minor issue and certainly not one that takes precedent for a jam game. 

Well done on this entry. An admirable addition to the Stacklands-like genre ;)

Developer(+1)

Yeah, the game becomes a little too chaotic as you unlock more cards over time. Thanks for checking it out :)

Cool game!

Pretty typical resource game, but with dice, but really well presented and thought out.

 I had lots of fun collecting the dice and working out what I needed to get the different number dice.

Great submission!

Cool game!

At first, reading the description, I didn't really know what I was supposed to do and in-game the tutorial text was a bit hard to read and went away pretty quickly, but the game itself was very self-explanatory and intuitive which made it easy to learn.

I like how you progressively unlock new cards with each tier, although it does seem that you can just finish the entire game with only the first couple of cards. Using other cards can make it faster but it doesn't seem to be very time-focused. Maybe it would've been nice to require a certain type of die for each row of the tier goals or something similar to force you to farm for a certain die?

I liked the sound effects and the references to other people and Twitch chat. Some background music would've been nice to have though. The representation of hunger in the worker art was also good and made it a bit clearer. I sometimes had issues with workers or dice overlapping and some other small bugs but overall it felt pretty polished.

Overall it was really fun to play though, and well made for such a short time frame. Good job!

Love the sound effects!

Reminds me of Stacklands a bit, but puts a new spin on it in a good way. I like it. Prayed to RNGesus a lot.

Submitted(+1)

It worked quiet well! I enjoyed the feedback. After the first placed die it was obvious and intuitive how it should be played. Well done!

Developer

Hey, thanks I had a blast making it :)

Submitted

Very satisfying and unique game. The text at the start went away too fast so I didn't know where to put the dice to advance. Once I sorted that out it was pretty fun. Nice job!

Developer

Sorry about that, but glad you were able to figure it out. I'll  add a note to the page for others.
