It's really satisfying to get a big combo and see everything roll and switch!
The art and sound were excellent! I was a little confused by the gameplay at first, but once I the reroll abilities started stacking up, it became very satisfying to watch. I do wish there was a clearer visual indication of when a new upgrade is available, since I missed that a lot, and I also wish there were more predictable (or more obvious) rules for how the dice merged. Still, with the re-rolls and the art, this was a very satisfying experience. Well done!
Very nice idea that works well, I think there's some jank as sometimes I'd have like a row of 3 with the same type and value that just wouldn't change which was annoying! But overall the game feels like something thhat I'd like to see improved upon in the future to make a really fun game of playing the odds!
Ok. Took me a minute to catch on, but yeah, agreed with the comments below. You're on to something. Great work. You get drawn in, and then you're trying to figure out where best to put the next one, cause maybe this happens then maybe this happens then maybe this happens. Brilliant :D
This is my favorite game of the jam!! It's kinda addicting haha. Quite glad the bug was there for the shop or I may not have stopped playing! Loved the style, music, powerups, the whole package and how chaotic it felt once everything chained together. My one thought is it wasn't immediately clear to me how it fit the theme build to scale. Also, I didn't understand exactly what the powerups and slots were doing for a while but I'm sure all that polish would just come with a little more time.
I love the idea, and it looks great too. Well done :)
I liked it a lot. It feels like it takes some inspiration from 2048 which I think a lot of people enjoyed so I think a lot of people would enjoy this as well.
About 3700 pts until it glitched the shop.
Please release this game on Steam, would have paid at least 10€ for this puzzle, it can get as addicting as Balatro
Perfect, had a lot of fun! All hail to gambling!
Really cool concept! I can see this working as a full release.
My favourite game of the jam so far. Really hooked me in.
Really hope you come back and fix the bugs. The store as you mention, also the game fills up past my screen, and there were several times matching dice wouldn't merge, which was frustrating. Also recommend changing either the yellow or the green colour, as they were quite hard to distinguish.
Only mentioning these as I had so much fun with this game. Well done to you sir.
Thanks for the lilking. Will work on those after!
This is a super cool project! Congrats on submitting!
I was immediately drawn in by the color-matters, value-matters dice game. Big board game fan so you have my attention! And while it's more puzzle than I was hoping for, it's still a lot of fun... once you get into it a bit.
I think the dice rolling and resolutions could be sped up significantly. Waiting for each die to drop, rolling, resolve, then roll and resolve each affected die became a slog. It should be exciting, but I got annoyed waiting for the next step. A more polished release might have some speed-up options for those that want to play more quickly.
I had a bug in my playthrough in which a pair of matching colors didn't merge. To the best of my knowledge, the sequence was this (with image below showing the final, incorrect state - I think I misnumbered some in the picture in haste - sorry lol!)
1. Dropped die causes a merge with the blue die at the top of column 5
2. Rolled 3 causes the yellow die below it to reroll into a two
3. The yellow two first swaps downwards with the green 1, then rerolls the red to it's right, rolling a 1
4. The red 1 swaps right with the yellow 2
5. The two yellow 2s are now adjacent and it's my turn (or the game is hung because now I don't see my mouse in my screenshot)
I don't know if it's something to do with the number of chains, or perhaps something about the final right-swap not checking the die it swapped with for matches?
Either way, still a super cool game. Great job!
Thanks for the detailed feedback. Others have pointed it out too. There is a bug causing the merge not happenning correctly after the switching. Will definitely fix that in a more polished release (if there is one lol). Thank you!
Score upwards of 2000 before the store broke.
Very fun once the effects start chaining together, could probably accelerate the resolution of those effects a bit (like Balatro), because I felt like I broke it at times by placing dice while effects were still chaining.
Anyway, excellent, thanks!
Solid suggestions, thanks!
Gameplay is really fun and addicting. The artstyle isn't really my cup of tea, though.
Thanks! It's the best I can do for one person :P
Of course :D We're all here to create and improve. I'm just being fully honest :)
Awesome game, perfect execution. I love when all the dice effects start to chain!
Loved the concept! I really like how I could take it at my own pace and really plan out where to put the dice.
This game's honestly fantastic! I messed up badly the first time (and was surprised there wasn't really a restart screen when you fill your board) but it's a very solid game with a ton of replayability, and the minimalist style fits like a glove.
I did run into the bug where the shop screen is blank, but apparently that means I'm great at the game, lmao.
I got a score of 460 first playthrough. I don't think I was very good at strategising as I ended up with 2's swapping to the righ then back again. Woops.
I really enjoyed this very much. The machanic is clear and simple to understand but challenging to perfect. The clean aesthetic is really nice and the music added to the background nicely.
It would have been good to have volume sliders or settigs as the music was a bt loud for me, and also having the default game widow set to 1080p is often not a good idea as with the browser search bar and your taskbar portions of the game are cut off unless you go into fullscreen. It's a good idea to build for 1920x1080 and set the browser widow to 1280x720 with a fullscren button. This means it will display correctly at the right aspect ratio even without fullscreen.
A great game, well done.
Thanks for the liking, and solid suggestions! Notes taken
Fun and addicting!
I initially thought that the game was from the roll of the dice jam).It's a fun game, but I didn't figure out how to spend coins.
You do that when placing dice and refresh the shop!
