Very cool concept.
It took me a bit of time to understand I could use the dice rolls of literally any number but once I understood that it was quite fun.
The only downside I see is that it's a bit short but it's to be expected for a Jam game. Amazing work!
Amazing concept and amazing execution! I am sure we see this game in the GMTK video!
Lot of potential to create a full game out of it! Congrats
holy crap, this game is so damn good its unreal
One of the more clever integrations of dice mechanics into turn-based combat that I've seen so far. Surprising amount of strategy involved in choosing when to roll and which numerical values to adjust. Really have to keep an eye on all the values on screen. Very charming presentation as well. Excellent work!
The music was completely fitting for the fun game style. I loved the creativity of changing the numbers for either you or your enemy. The best part though, was the sound effects, especially the caterpillar. Great Job, gang.
Perfert game
Game fit the theme very well and the art and gameplay were really cool too. Awesome entry!
this game is best way to Dice!
Perfert game for the theme. The roll a number card is so fun and creative!!!
I really enjoy card rougelites this hits the spot
Too sweet and too short :<. This can be a full-fledge game given some more expansion. I would buy it immediately. Can't wait to see your future vision for the game.
The fact that I forgot I was rating games because I just had to beat the last dude, and I wasn't getting the cards I needed speaks volumes on how great this entry is. Fives across the board, excellent job on the concept the art and the creativity behind it all.
Very cool idea, and great execution! really good job
Great game, quite challenging, pushes you to develop broken strategies to exploit the game. Well done!
Great game.I really like the concept.
Super creative use of theme, fun artwork and sound, and most importantly very enjoyable to play -- awesome job!
5 stars, the concept is super fun. But It's get difficult really fast. I loved it
100% the best use of dice in any game in this game jam hands down. Incredibly creative game with amazing visuals, music and sounds. I have absolutely no critiques for this game, its amazing. Incredible job, I love it!
Aaaa this is so incredibly cool and such a creative idea!!! Genuinely it's such a cool way to utilise the concept of rolling dice outside of things that would be conventionally presumed by the prompt. The gameplay was also engaging and the right level of difficulty where it was something you had to think through to win whilst not being frustrating or impossible to beat.
Only thing I'd say is it'd be nice to have some feedback on like defeating enemies (maybe a "enemy defeated" text pop-up or just something that wasn't immediately switching to the next enemy) but like I genuinely really loved it.
I'd love to see this expanded into something larger maybe in future but even at the size it is, it's a great experience!
I have been playing this game forever, very adictive!
