In what way does your game fit the theme?
Our game uses dice combos which make them stronger when used combined. This evolves during the gameplay when more dice are introduced.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes

Fun idea and art :)
Thank you! :)
Excellent graphics, idea and gameplay, it's pretty addictive. I lost on the last battle, it was really difficult. With a correct balance and more dices, it will a really awesome game. Congrats, you will be on the tops for sure.
Cool graphics. You have done so much in so little time. It just needs a little bit of balancing job :)
Really nice art and animation here. This is a very beautiful game! Nice work.
Nice! I like this that is one of the games I played the longest :D Very unique.
What a great entry! The art and audio fit the game really well and the design is super interesting.
The difficulty and randomness does make this really frustrating at time, but i still enjoyed it a lot overall.
I would play totally play a game like this (with some difficulty adjustments of course).
Loved the mechanics, very well designed. I didn't got the theme inside, the dices together made the main character stronger?
well, i would really play this game in the future with moe updates and i didn't beat in my first try but i will try harder to get to the 20th floor.
well done
Thanks for playing! The theme stronger together applies to the dices combined, you can place them randomly and do low-average damage or you can use magic and combine them for boosting your other dices or copying them in order to maximize their power! ^^
nice, thanks to explain and good job again! i will follow the next updates on this, don't give up after the jam!
This game is really solid, I think with more work you could even sell it. I enjoyed it a lot, can't complain about anything. Great Job!
Thank you for your comment! ^^
Good job <3

Really good game, reminds me of Slay The Spire.
I tried the game twice but couldn't beat the combo healer + armor guy, the fight was taking forever, there is probably not enough dice combination able to beat it. There is potential for more crazy dice / effects i can see this game being expanded !
The art / UI was really pleasing, good job !
Thank you for your review! It is possible to beat everysingle mob in the game but only if you have the correct dices, which of course need tweaking :)
This is a great game!
But, the main mechanic of placing the dice in the correct place isn't even a mechanic. More of a way to make my runs slower. You could have ditched that entirely and the game would be the same.
I didn't get to a 5th level dice, but limitations at this point is something that you could always add in a 3 slots for 3 dices..
I allow myself to say that because I played this for almost an hour and really enjoyed it, and I think that you can continue to develop it to a full pledged game.
Also, the healer enemy is quite annoying. Reminds me of those fights in pokemon where the enemy trainer would always heal up, just delaying the outcome.
Overall, the game is awesome! In terms of the theme it didn't click for me, but I see what you aimed for.
Well done!
What a great concept. I love these kind of games. Very well done. Also the Art and sound is great.
Obviously the game needs some balancing. But other than that this is a great game. One of my favorites in the jam.
Would love to play a balanced Version of this.
Thank you for your comment! The update will drop once the JAM ends, maybe even with some more content apart from just being balanced~
The visuals and interactions are great! Initially it was a bit confusing what the different dice did (until I realized I can hover them). Would've loved if there was more depth to the choices but this is a jam game after all! You managed a lot in this short period & that is a feat in itself!
Other than that, probably the most engaging game I played so far in this jam. Nicely done, keep it up!
Thak you for your review! We are planning to intoduce an optional tutorial in the first floor in the next update ^^
Very nice game, I enjoyed playing it!
Good turn-based die game. It's really addicting to play. The art and music were also good. Maybe add some more flair to the attacks and add a special random die with special flares and random abilities might make it more fun.
Thank you for your review and the video! Is that your first playthrough? You got the hang of it quite fast :0
I got the idea. Also, maybe watched it somewhere. And maybe I played something similar before? I can't remember. But I tried various combinations of the dice so that I could maximize it. I noticed that the bonus wasn't retroactive? Like pink dice don't boost other pink ones?
This is cool. Love the progression and getting to choose to upgrade your dice. When an attack di is upgraded and has two boosts on it it feels really fun. The frog is a great protagonist too. But yes, per your note, super hard as I went along!
The game reminded me of sega genesis era, it's a pretty unique twist on Turn-based combat system which I adore infinitely. I couldn't finish the game cause my attack power wasn't enough to beat my opponent. In my opinion, i think it has all the chances to be stand alone and successful with some extra story elements and refined mechanics. Good job!
Thank you for your comment! The game will be updated once the jam finishes, in that version the game should be correctly balanced, hope you give it another try then ^^
Great game.Love the art , love the combat mechanic.
The systems in this game are so simple to get into, literally being based on dice, while also leading to some really deep combos even with the few types I found in the game. Though I gotta say the block seemed a bit powerful, especially with the heavy dice. For a jam game though, it's pretty balanced. Some finer points(very fine the games good):
The last two points are more QoL and nitpicks, the games really awesome and like I said if there's more of this game to play soon I'll be back.
Thank you for your comment and feedback! ^^
Great concept for a game but I had absolutely no way to beat the healing moth. At all
