Hey I'm sorry you are finding the game confusing, I would recommend looking at the tips section in the main menu for extra help but I can try to explain some basic things here. When you press b it brings up the dice info which shows the dices pattern. It is basically the dice unfolded so it is not extra dice, but instead it is showing you what is on each of the sides. The stars are just how rare the dice is. The effect is just what the dice does when you use it. So in this diagram the sword means it will attack, and the number shows for, so if the ability doubles it, it will now attack for 8 damage. Basically all of these abilities will also automatically calculate and just show you how much they so don't worry too much about math, the effect amount will update to show the correct amount. If the dice has a shield on it then that dice will give you shield instead. All the descriptions for any icon in the game can be found in the manual if you press the menu button. Also if you are looking at the dice rewards if you press the menu button it will quickly show what each of the abilities/status effects that dice have are, and what they do. Let me know if you have any other questions, and if you are in the playdate discord there's a thread there that's a great place for extra questions and help!
Very cool and extremely ambitious game to be able to finish in the time frame. I'm no games journalist but that tutorial did take me a bit of time to finish, especially the slide jump section. It wasn't fully apparent to me that if you jump right at the very start of the slide you'll get the distance you need. In generally I think there could be a little more leniency in the mechanics, but I still had a good time and the visuals were great!
Cool game really liked the graphics and style of it. I liked having to sneak around and take out enemies, but once I got the shuriken I didn't have to worry about melee anymore. Maybe you only get one shuriken, and you have to retrieve it off a body to use it again? Lot's of potential with this one though!
Unfortunately there seems to be an issue with the builds, everything works when running the game in the editor. I had that issue and thought it was exclusive to the web build so I quickly build standalones and submitted with 5 minutes left. I didn't know but it seems like there is only an hour window after the jam ends to fix game breaking bugs so I cannot do anything at this point
