Super simple gameplay that still really hooks you! Great job!
The animations and the camera work when aiming and landing also make the gaming experience really enjoyable <3
Two smaller things: The score counter starts at 99999 instead of 0 for me and the game resolution is so large that I had to play around a bit in my browser settings (Macbook/Chrome) until I got the game to fit on my screen reasonably well.
UHH neat, I very much like that! Simple design and easy mechanics but yet a rich basis for many interesting puzzles. You managed to combine that with beautiful graphics and little animations, very well done <3
Thank you for your really valuable feedback and sorry for our late reply. You had some super kind words for us which we enjoyed reading and wanted to give you an appropriate answer <3
Concerning your remarks:
* Instead of skipping to the next text on clicking the "next" button inside the dialog window, we could indeed first complete the text and then (when clicking on the next button again) continue with the next speech bubble. Good idea!
* We know that people are not really into text-intensive starting tutorials :( The alternative would have been to "let the players try". But while letting some of our friends playtest the game, we got the impression that giving advise on what to do seemed to be needed :/
On the other hand, maybe next time we should choose more "experienced" gamers as our playtesters :D Our choice of people (who we are very thankful towards!) might have had a negative knowledge bias concerning game mechanics. To people used to puzzle games, the mechanics of Bernd's Biscuits would probably have been more intuitive.
Thanks so much, we're glad you like it! It's pretty much open end, but there should be a theoretical limit due to the maximal grid size, the increasing mountain count and money demand with higher level.
We haven't made to much more than level 15 while playtesting, so hats off!
You managed so well to give the game difficulty by the randomness of dice throwing but still make it well controllable by the player. I really like the minimalist color palette. I'd love to play this game again once you had a bit more time to polish the enemies' looks (of course it was very reasonable not to spend too much time on that during the jam).
Nice idea and execution, surprisingly difficult to solve! For the not-that-much-into-calculating players, adding a second number per cluster which shows the current sum would have been great. Anyway, congrats, you've done a great job!
Thank you SO much for the comment! Having it put so directly really shows a lack there. We (or Mr. Dicington I guess) said it's about balancing and building clusters - but only encouraged balancing by not building clusters next to each other and having clusters of all types...
I'll talk about this with 3xl4, we should definitely add some mechanic here!
Thank you very much for the feedback python-b5! We definitely should have done an interactive tutorial or made the first levels more easy so that the player can learn about the mechanics and limitations step by step. Our next games will take that lesson into account!
The colourful boards are very nice to look at and the chain reactions are very motivating. The dice roll animations are a bit two time consuming I find, maybe changing the dice immediately but having a limit of dice changes as a number would be more catchy?
Thanks for the comment Seabass! We're sorry to hear Fortuna didn't choose the dice in your favour :( Maybe using the color changing buttons on the bottom left could give your building assets a little boost into the right direction?
A great puzzle game and cute graphics! It's really a creative idea and we loved the mechanics. The dice are actually just a superfluous burden for choosing your step size though. Nonetheless, keep up the good work! We're looking forward to seeing more from you
A simple but great game! The idea of rolling the die on a grid and fitting the numbers to other dice fits the motto extremely well. Showing the "next steps cross" grid on the left and right was a very good idea for informing the player about the die's status!
As usual for Team Bugulon: Super fun game, awesome mechanics and very polished looks. Walking on dried ramen sheets as platforms is very cool by itself :D Our deepest respect, we bend the knee
Thank your Yozoraki for the heart warming words! A playable intro would definitely have been a marvellous idea. Our very diligent food maker and playtester friends said so too but we were too short on time :( We're thrilled to hear that our very strategy-based concept which looks easy at first (but actually requires some thinking) could convince you ^^
Thanks so much AxisFIN! Indeed, the first level is already very unforgiving when it comes to a lack of strategy :D We're glad you liked it and will check out your game as soon as work is over ;)
What a cute little game! Devastating that the baby has two dice though, how should I cope with that? Jk, great job, great graphics and intuitive game play!
Very catchy music! I would also go with the "camera could show a little more" statement from JOrbits, but a good entry for this Game Jam. Nice color palette and pixel graphics!
Very cool graphics style! The Rolling In / Rolling Out option was not quite cleared to me and caused the web build to stop. But apart from that a fun game!
