This was a wonderful little jam game. It's the perfect size to play quickly, has a wonderful idea at the core, and it's also plays really well. I loved it. Great work!

I was lucky enough to watch through your development progress in discord and i really happy for you


I did not expect this to be as comedic as it is??

The game play did evolve and like it! I do think it can be more intense? Maybe a little more... juice?

Congrats on finishing your game!

Having played dice games since I was a wee lad, I can confirm with confidence, that this is how dice work. Thank you for having the bravery to speak up and tell the truth about dice. More people need to know. 

Jokes aside, you've built a solid little game here. The premise works and the randomized faces keep exploration from feeling like a chore because you can't rely on your knowledge of real dice. Kudos for not letting the theme control your game. 

I think the game could overall have a been a tad faster. More so in the first stage, checking all the faces and general navigation is just not engaging. It's slow and tedious. Slightly faster move speed and capture speed could bring this game closer to its sweet spot. Still, it's in a pretty solid place. I rolled 6, 6, 5 as those stage 3 turrets pack a serious bonk. 

Well done. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with this. Keep making games! 

PS - I'll have you know your game was my 70th rated. If I hadn't already promised myself I was going to play your game, I would have stopped rating so I could have that super nice number of rated games :P

I was impressed with the animation and enjoyed how the difficulty increased over time. One note is that its generally known that on a real die opposite sides add up to 7, but your die didn't meet that expectation.

Overall it was just fun to move around in the game and that's what is most important!

Very clever game! Super trippy, and very satisfying to play. The animations were very smooth as well. Great job!
