Nice and simple, that's what we need more often! I like how you can get used to gameplay so quickly, almost automatically. Very well made!

Thank you for checking my game out :D
Really liked the anti-dice song in your game, sums up my mental state after rating almost 200+ games.
But that's the sacrifice to make when joining a dice theme jam :P

I got into it so quickly :O 

I can really see it as the main mechanic for a sort advantage

it's simple and addictive - love it!

Developer

Thank you for checking the game out, glad to hear that you liked it :D

Simple, I'm an ogre, and I see if I get lucky! Yup, checks all the boxes for me! This was a simple game, but it worked! The upgrading mechanic helped keep the combat fresh, and the slot machine element was addicting! Gotta love watching the numbers get bigger! Great work!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing ! happy to hear that you liked it, specially after playing your game. Got to work harder so I could reach the quality that you guys have on your games :D Your kind words really means a lot to me, thank you again.

Oh nice! Completed 33 levels with my ogre. I had plenty of fun with it. Definitely a game I would play on my phone.

  • I didn't notice if there was a mechanic if you had multiple item in the same line or not, but I think there is space there for you to try different things to have some exciting moment (like critical hits)
  • I think that monsters / levels were rotating very fast which means creatures didn't matter much to me after the first ones. So I wasn't looking at the top right corner much.

Thank you for checking the game out & thank you for the feedback.
Yeah, there was originally a plan to add effects based on items rows and columns, but have not been able to add them due to time.
The game balance could also definitely be tweaked a bit more, so each enemy have more character & not just die in one or two hits.
I might be able to address these things once I update the game after the jam (maybe).
Thank you again for playing :)

Fun game! It has just enough strategy to not just be a glorified slot machine and not too complicated that it would take a while to learn

Developer

Thank you for playing !

One of the best I've played. Sad to be the 70th to rate.

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you for playing ! ah yes, 70th - the saddest number :D

Cool game, quite addictive. Would love to see a more complete version with fleshed -out mechancis (once you run out of items, you loose all agency, which is a bit sad).

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you for playing ! definitely, would be happy to add a lot more items to the game, so the endgame wouldn't feel lackluster. 
But glad to hear that you played long enough to reach the non-item parts. Thank you !

The music choice really fit the game!! I like the slots style game!

Great work here! The RNG never felt too punshing, solid game that kept me engaged until I died. Good difficulty curve and the learning was fairly easy. I got to level 30 first go! The following feedback is made knowing what you have feels like a complete package, and you probably didn't have enough time to add anything else :)

* A third tier for every item combo would be appreciated. I had several instances of 3 two-tier items and was sad they didn't merge. I think a 4th tier would be a bit overkill

* Adding deck kickers that let me clear some fluff would be great. Then I can keep getting stronger and get rid of the chaff

* Some mutation/"mergability" of non-compatible items would be extra solid, adding an entire extra dimension of choice to the player. i.e. merging a potion with a bone to heal 1 / damage 1?

* More visual effects / sounds would go a long way


Solid entry, good work!

Developer

Thank you for checking the game out and for the detailed feedback :D
Would definitely keep this in mind as I try to improve upon the game.

Also I think the 3 two-tier items not combining was an oversight on my part,
item combination only happen once every spin, therefore if a 3 one-tier items have combined,
the 3 two-tier items will not combine until after the next spin end.
(I plan to change this to make the combination effect more rewarding)

Thank you again for playing and kind words !

Creative use of the theme, but I feel like it could've really used some punchy sound- and visual effects and some more player feedback. As it stands, it doesn't feel as reward as it could to get nice combinations or to pick new elements. The base is good though, if you could expand on it a bit more, I think it could be a lot of fun!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for stopping by ! Yeah, I agree that the game definitely needs more player feedback and juice. But wanted to make sure I have a game to submit first, so I focused on making everything bug free and working as much as possible. If I were to further improve on the game, will certainly make an effort to make the player feedback rewarding. Thank you again for playing the game :)

Great RPG slot machine! The gameplay is presented from a rather unusual angle. I really enjoyed being the manager of this personable ogre. Separately, I was pleased with the system of pumping items!

P.S.: It would be very cool if everyone who sees this message would go and honestly evaluate our game. Because we have already rated over 140+ and continue to do so, and our game has only 42 ratings...

Developer

Thank you for checking out the game !

You take the theme very different way. Dice sounds like luck so its a rpg-slot machine game. Thats make sense and this game is also pretty unique one. I like to improve my character abilities after every roll. Great job to you and your team ^^

Developer

Thank you ! Yeah, my mind latched on to the 'casinos' part of the jam's description, but glad that it appeared unique to those who play.
I like the term "RPG-slot machine", thank you for that and will definitely keep that in mind if I were to further improve the game.
(I am also a solo developer :)

Wow, I'm amazed at the simplicity of this game! It's super fun and addicting, with great art and music. The powerups make a lot of sense and are really intuitive, and the UI is just great. Great job!

Developer

Thank you for playing ! would definitely try to further improve the power-up if I update the game. Glad that you liked the game :)

I can't wait for see this game in all casinos around the world! :D 

this is very cool concept and I really enjoyed the game!

Great job!

Developer

Thank you for playing ! really happy to hear that you enjoyed the game.
It definitely would be cool to see the game played around the world.
But got to keep expectation low and try to keep improving :D

Thank you again for the kind words.
