um no, that's not true. We had one account, this account and it's the only we used. What do you even mean by that? We worked out asses off on this game and we haven't done anything other than rate and comment on other games with our one account

Developer

is there some way to challenge this?

I loved this game a lot, good work!

Submitted

On one hand, I do wish that the game itself made it clear how the enemy health worked, as I also fell into the trap of thinking that each enemy had a specific number that they were killed by. On the other hand, requiring the player to read the manual is very in-line with how a retro game actually was lol

Overall, I enjoyed the game a lot, and I could definitely see having this game on my gameboy : )

Originally the plan was to have the enemy health and instruction on the a pause menu but with in the time constraints the game play took priority. Granted as a GBC game it does feel appropriate that it has the instruction separate from the game itself

Really solid, I like the creative way dice are used here. Combining movement with attack power is simple, intuitive, and elegant. It's a little bit of trial and error to learn enemy "HP" (Like, I thought the red devils could only be hit when your die is at 5, but they go down at 4, too), but that's a very minor thing -- the game's actual puzzles were very satisfying.

The ghosts were especially interesting enemies to face against; rooms that combined enemies with different movement patterns made the most of this system. Well done.

Thanks, the enemy health is listed in the description along with the rest of the games instructions.

I liked the concept. It was made with Pico-8?

Sometimes the character get out of the grid, but that is not a real problem.

Good job! =)

Developer(+1)

Already working on an updated version that doesn't knock you off the grid. Actually it's a Gameboy Colour game, tested on real hardware

Submitted

You got to be kidding me! For real?

That's awesome! Will you post the rom to?

Developer(+1)

When it's done, the game is still more buggy than I'm comfortable with

Submitted

would very much like to see a whole game just with this mechanic

Developer

Already working on it, nearly done with another boss fight in fact

Submitted

Such a nice and simple game that just feels so good to play. These are the types of games that just make me feel good inside when I play them. Great Submission!

Submitted

Really fun retro game. Would love to see this get music and sound effects added. Neat use of them. Had fun playing. Great job.

Submitted

Really great game. I enjoyed it! :)

Submitted

I love this concept of not having the dice roll be random! this makes it different from other games (including mine) that have random dice rolls! One thing I noticed is that when you have a 5 and move it resets back to 1 meaning that 6 doesn't exist?

Developer (1 edit)

correct, at this resolution 6 wouldn't really fit on the die, there was the thought to have a 6th side with a star for something for a critical hit but with the time constraints and only 5 enemy types it wasn't enough of a priority to get in the final build 

Submitted

Very cool little game! I really like the artstyle, good job!

Submitted

Art and style of the game is awesome and the implementation of the dice is truly unique but is is hard to understand without a description :D 

Great job!

Developer

Agreed, due to time constraints the instructions had to be placed in the description but originally the idea was to have them on the pause menu

Submitted

This was so fun! i loved the art and how you incorporated dice into this! I would love to see more of this game.

Submitted

The initial cutscene really adds a lot to the atmosphere of the game.

Submitted

I like the puzzle aspect of the combat. Enemies often get stuck and you can charge up  your attack by walking into a wall. But other than that its an excellent game!

Submitted

A fine combination of a really simple puzzle wth zelda-like dungeon crawler :) However, too often a strategy would be to just walk back-and-forth waiting for the dice to "charge up" and then attack.

Also, even some synth tunes for attacks and moves would be great, I really missed the audio on that one.

Developer(+1)

Agreed but sadly there wasn't anytime to add sound effects or music, the plan is to continue development though and this includes sound

Submitted

Nice clean game conceit, cute visuals, and an engaging system.

The difficulty did ramp up quite quickly in my opinion, but otherwise I liked it!
