Beginning of the game really immersed you to the world but then the real game begings and its a too hard game. I undestand what this is going for but maybe a little slower pace or just story mode for this game would have been better. RNG decides a little bit too much the outcome.

It seems every round was randomized. That gave the game a little more than what it would have been without. When i understood that I needed to basically check what was the most bad condition I could make decission what to take. Otherwise i didnt know how wind or road or air effected the cars condition. But good job for first game.
There was more behind changing the player character but time limit made it only cosmetic change. We planned that every character could have had its own strenght and weaknesses. Luckiness for how good results from the dice, speed for skiing speed, strength for fighting and maybe health also for the fight.
The story part was nicely done. I wasnt sure if there was only tutorial level at the moment and it felt also not finished.
I felt it little difficult to get my hits to hit for the enemy. It felt that there was just certain spot you and the enemy needed to be that the enemy would take hit. Maybe bigger hitbox or somehting to make it feel more intuitive.
For first jam game it had potential but maybe a little too big to start.
We are sorry we didnt notice to read that it doesnt allow AI. I think then the upload question about using AI is separate thing than this JAMs rules. One of the reasons we tought it was ok.
How do you view if you use AI as a model and not use straight what it produces? Because some of our art has been done that way that the AI produced image and then that was used as an inspiration.
There is very short immunity time. It should have been longer. Character always moves some slow default speed if you dont roll dice. Idea was that the dice gives you short period of boost and then the character gets tired and goes back to the default speed and then you can boost again.
I think just lazy to read. And then i wasnt sure how to add the new numbers. I was trying to put the new number outside the dice. And just clicking. Then i understood that it goes inside the dice but because i read lazy i did not understand that i need to add the new number to the place of number 1.
If im thinking how to clarify the first number change maybe there could be somekind of tutorial arrow to point that you need to replace it with 1.
I really really wanted to enjoy the game but somehting about getting past the pool. I didnt get over it. No matter how i tried to jump but no. Best efforts where where i got stuck on the edge and then i needed to close the game and try again.
However i liked the graphics. Story felt it might be interesting. Sad there were no sounds.
Ya we didnt think about that there might be people only using touchpad. I tested to play that way too after your comment. I think it really depends of what kind of touchpad you have in your laptop. The one i have has physical keys on top. So it was manageable to play that way. But I think if it has only click on the touchpad itself that might make it hard.
It was very fun to launch an attack.
I was first very confused how to get past the doors. I think door unlocking should be managed somehow different. Not sure if it is really needed that you unlock that way. Either way it was good mechanigs that you can upgrade the dice.
Like you have written graphigs needs update. Otherwise everyhting had purpose and worked to show what it was.
I also had the mouse clicking bug. Needed to figure out on to fly how to attack when you cannot click here or there.
I feel like the attacking could have multiple hits when it bounces. Now i think it had only one attack from the first hit.
Nice game!
I liked the game.
I would have liked that the tutorial would have been the first level because i didnt check first that there was separate tutorial. I was first thinking this is too hard but after first round i understoond about what to do and i passed multiple levels.
I was a little annoyed about the controls scheme. I was multiple times pressing wrong button when i tried to change the option what to do.
The feel and look and theme was spot on. Very polished game.
The atmosphere in the dungeon is really chilling. a few times I died of curiosity. 3d dungeon looks fantastic. and the glint of the flashlight shines in the eyes. maybe you could increase the tension by not having the flashlight on all the time. and I didn't know, but could the black unknown beast be chased away with a lamp? contols was of high quality.
i've always wanted to make a game with ps2 graphics and this seemed like it. at first I thought I wouldn't take any hits from shooting robots. but after standing there I died after some time. maybe some visual would have highlighted the hit. overall the playable character is very strong in carrying all the scientists at once :)
