How does your game fit the theme?
Every round sees some input randomness and luck coming into play in the form of a roll of dice. Every roll of the dice keeps the player on their toes and devising strategy to proceed in the game. The game is themed around garden gnomes who are believed to be the bringers of luck - which is just what you need when you roll a die! The name of the game, too, is a pun indicating that a player can roll (the dice) with their friendly gnomes.

Nice mechanic well presented (like the gnome facts, especially!).
A simple premise, but it is surprisingly strategic.
Would definitely like to see this expanded upon more, with different moves like healing or defense.
But overall, it already is plenty of fun on it's current state.
Congrats on finishing the jam.
Simple but very enjoyable mix of strategy and dice game ! You really need to adapt your strategy depending on the dices and it add some suspense at each turn.
Amazing game!
Impressive that you were able to develop the AI in such a short time. The randomness theme was truly embraced without creating a game that was frustrating, so well done.
One idea to potentially explore in the future is making it so that the different colored gnomes have different probabilities (e.g. red likelier to roll high numbers, yellow to roll low numbers). That way there is still an element of randomness while allowing for more nuanced strategies.
PS The gnome facts are hilarious. Thank you for including them.
Really good game! The sound design is close to perfection ( and the music, obviously is great) The art looks amazing too!
Nice job!
Thanks a million for your kind words! We're so happy you liked the sound and music - we're super new to sound design, your appreciation means a lot!
This was really lovely. The game name is excellent, the gnome facts were fun, and I liked the strategy involved with your number of moves being determined by a dice roll (plus the dice roll animation looked quite good, nice work).
Thanks a lot for playing our game! So happy you enjoyed it... And so pleased you like the name :D
