WOWWWWW this game has some stunning art and audio, fantastic job on creating such a thick atmosphere! I wasn't really sure what exactly what I was trying to do, since it didn't seem like I could take damage from the enemies, but it was fun enough just whacking the dice around and exploring the environment : )

We wanted to focus on a more exploratory aspect of this kind of game, and removing the player's health bar turns it into something where the goal is closer to checking out the world rather than killing enemies.

Very nice looking game. I love the art style. Combat can be annoying at times but other than that the game is pretty nice.

Developer

After a bit of playtesting we noticed our game was stressful since you have little control over your attacks. So we omitted the heath for the player. Turning the game into a more relaxing rather than stressful design.

Thank you! Our artist wanted a cute birb and I convinced them to make the eyes to look ever so stressed.

Nice aesthetic and a good concept + cute characters. I'm glad that I was invincible so I could just roam around and explore a bit, made it very relaxing.

Developer

The art style is amazing, although the game doesn't seem quite finished. The beginnings of the mechanics are all quite interesting, and the dice were fun to play around with. When the slime's eyes began to glow it scared me lol.

Developer

Thank you, we wanted something that would take players by surprise!

Love the way this looks, the slimes and bird are so cute! I found it a bit tricky to understand the goal, but it was fun to figure it out.

Developer

We took inspiration from games that were closer to a playground feeling and so we based the core design closer to a Don'tStarve kind of gameplay loop, where it's more about discovery than strict goals.

Quite a nice concept! A bit hard to control and my dice got a bit stuck sometimes but definitely has a ton of nice ideas put into it. Combining that with nice visuals and music this turned out real good!

Thank you, It's really nice to hear this after the jam!

Birb, is def the best part of the Birb game.

The overall presentation is really well done, although I wasn't really sure what my goal was or how to kill the enemies.

Developer

Ty! Its nice to hear that you like the presentation of our game!  There is not much of a goal other than make it to the yellow sign at the end and dork about with the dice currently. Enemies take damage from the different dice effects such as the tornado or explosion or Poison puff and are healed by the green buff effect.

Wasn't really sure what to do at first, but after figuring it out it's a cool concept. I got stuck a few times behind donuts and things, but I was barely able to get myself out. Not a fan of the volume controls. I made it really loud trying to figure out how to turn it down.

Developer

Thank you for your input! :D Ill add highlights to the + and - for the volume then!

This is super cute!!

The aiming is a bit wonky but i had a ton of fun :D

Developer

Thank you! Its really nice to hear this after the jam! XD
