--- About the Game ---
Rougelite adventure game. Reality has been shattered. Fight enemies to collect reality shards to restore things. Four enemies to fight plus a boss!
--- How to Play ---
Click on the circles in the overworld to fight the next enemy.
In combat, roll dice at the start of your turn with the energy you have. Dice will come out of your bank. Hover over the dice in the tube to view the potential dice you can roll.
After rolling, drag and drop the dices into the tiles and then click on the rune to activate them. Different tiles have different effects, hover over the runes to read the description.
Once you have no more energy, you can end your turn and wait for the enemy to complete their turn. You can end your turn early to stockpile on energy.

Really cool game, kinda made me addicted :) I really like the concept, and could literally not stop playing, until the game somehow crashed on the last enemy xd
While I don't know why two runes for static effects (Bleed, poison etc.) exist, I found it really helpful to see the toolboxes with the info's to each rune, but I found out about that after the first enemy, so it would be cool if you had like a little tutorial at the start, especially with your kinda complex system. A little particle/visual feedback would be also cool for shields, attacks and so on.
The enemies look insane and I really liked the graphics/idle animations. You should continue working on this game for sure! One of the more fun games I've played yet!
Hey thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked it! We are for sure continuing this project so we will absolutely add a tutorial!
not my type of game actually, but drawings are so cool.
Hey man that's alright! Turn-based strategy games are pretty niche, especially with dice. But thanks for playing anyway!
very extraordinary high quality of the visual and gameplay as a jam game. I use chrome browser and seems that I can't hear any sound effects or music in the game. Aside from that, the art design and the way you animate the illustration are great. The rolling system to determine different is special and fun, kind of reminds me d20 game that involves rolling system.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Bummer you couldn't hear the background music, we set the volume too low... Should have made a settings menu!
Neat graphics! The music is amazing! I struggled a little to find out what to do, but got the hang of it (and lose 3 times to the 4th dude…)
Great job! The only thing to complain is that the interface buttons could be a little bigger…
Thanks for the feedback and glad you liked it! The complaint is a valid one, and we're going to continue working on the game!
Such an ambitious game! Would love to see this get expanded on.
Thanks! Our team is planning on continuing the project!
love your game!
Thanks!
The music is very fitting for the type this game this is. The game kind of soft-locked for me after using the hex rune on the final enemy, but this whole game seems like a concept that could be expanded. I would like to have some instructions on how a battle works in-game instead of having to glance at the description of the game page every time. The art is also great in this game and looks really well done!
Thanks for the response! Yeah we ran out of time to make a solid UI/UX. But yes, our team is continuing work on the project so we are viewing this mostly as a prototype
It really cool game with beautiful art and music. I very like dice mechanics. Only problem is not very clear/readable interface (too much information in tool tips). Great job
Thanks for playing! You make good points
I like the art, audio, gameplay, it was fun and involving, love the different sets and runes and the RNG Dice idea. The game soft-locked at some point for me but still had a lot of fun, well done :)
Bummer on the game breaking for you :( But thanks a ton for the review, glad you had fun!
Impressed by the character designs and how it connected to the theme, the last boss felt like a different style (or perhaps because it was the only humanoid design in the game, but perhaps it was intentional?) however in terms of design overall, very impressive! Also enjoyed the music as it really did fit with the overall theme of the game. Other than that, I only wish there were texts to elaborate which runes did what before acquiring them but fun concept overall. Good job! :D
Thanks for checking out our game and giving us feedback! I'm glad you liked the art and music, and had some thoughts on character designs. I really wish we had gotten to tooltips for picking runes, but unfortunately missed it because of time. Thank you again for the kind words and letting us know your thoughts!
Thanks for the kind words and glad you had fun!
the controls were a bit too confusing to me but thats probably a reason of limited time not missing ideas :)
I really loved the Art!
Thanks for checking out our game and giving some feedback! I'm glad you liked the art, and I agree with you that there is much needed UI/UX improvements and tutorial to explain how to play the game
Yes for sure agreed, we submitted with 22 seconds left! In hindsight we were too ambitious and should have toned down the scope. Thanks for playing!

Thanks for playing our game, and all the feedback and constructive criticism! I got to go back on the recording to watch you play it, thanks for taking the time to go through ours, I'll check out your stream more often, solid content!
Thanks again for the review. I really agree with all your criticism. The stream was fun! Goodluck with the steams!
Graphics is awesome.
Thanks for playing the game and letting us know! I'm glad you liked the graphics :)
Thanks man!
This was a super unique battle system. I really liked the art style and the feel of the game. I agree with some of the other players, it had a bit of a learning curve at first. So a good tutorial would make that a bit easier. But it was really fun figuring it out and playing.
Thanks for playing and giving us feedback! I'm glad you liked the art style and general direction we went with the game! The feedback on needing a tutorial is appreciated, definitely agree with you, but I'm glad you were able to figure out the game and had fun playing it!
Yep! Tutorial is needed. Thanks for playing :)
It has a hard learning curve at least for me. A good tutorial would be amazing. Like show which buttons and does what.
Art and animations are so amazing. Keep up the good work!
Hey thanks for playing our game! I'm glad you liked the art and animations!
We definitely need a more in depth UI/UX and tutorial, completely agree. Thanks for the feedback!
I hope you had a chance to try my submission. I also have a huıge problem with UI.
Yeah I'll be sure to check your submission out and let you know my thoughts! :)
Yeah I agree, tutorial is for sure needed. Thanks for playing!
I actually liked it.
Glad you liked it! :)
Thanks for playing and letting us know
Thanks for looking into it!
Great art, impressive! Mechanism is also interesting as runes can give you a lot of options in the future.
As I can see you want to continue the game, maybe UI could be improved: description of each rune shown clearer or maybe have them completely different so we can clearly distinguish which ones are for deffend or attack based on colours, for instance.
Great work done anyway. Congrats!
Thanks for playing the game! I'm glad you liked the art and found the game mechanics interesting! Good ideas on how to make the runes more differentiable. I think UI is the immediate thing that needs the most improvement, so the specific ideas are really appreciated! Thanks for the feedback and kind words!
Thanks for reviewing and thanks for the feedback! We'll for sure be making these UI changes, solid points
The UI elements are very small and it's difficult to see what rune does what. Same thing with the buttons and the dices. But the Game seems really intrusting, and the art is amazing
Thanks for playing our game! We struggled a little with changing the game from it's original resolution to match the web browser resolution, but the advice is really helpful. The game would definitely benefit from reactive sizing and and options to scale all the ui elements to the size the player wants. I'm glad you found it interesting and liked the art, we appreciate the feedback!
Very fair points. I'm hoping to make a much more dynamic and scalable UI. Thanks for playing!
great game! pretty interesting combat system, my only nitpick is that some buttons dont look like buttons at all.
Hey thanks for playing our game! I'm glad you liked it and found it interesting! If you've got time to come back and respond, could you let us know which buttons specifically you think could use improvement? Thanks so much for the feedback, it's helpful and appreciated!
mainly the attack/skill buttons, I say this because in the first few turns I thought that I should just put the dice in the slot and end the turn then the character would execute the attacks, maybe it is because I just played disgaea. the end turn also don't look much like a button but the text make it obvious.
not sure why I didn't say it before lol
All good! Thanks for the specifics, it's very helpful!
Thanks for taking time to review the game! Yeah, that's a very valid nitpick. We'll work on making a more friendly UI!
The art and the music are very good! Great job, the gameplay feels a little clunky, but with some polish the idea is very interesting this could be taken far, overall fun experience, great job :D
Thanks for playing our game and giving us some feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the art and music and that you see the potential in the game!
Yep, pretty clunky game play. Hoping to smooth it out as we have more time to work on the project. Thanks for checking it out!
