Gameplay is really fun and addicting. The artstyle isn't really my cup of tea, though.

Developer

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.

Developer

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.

Developer

You do that when placing dice and refresh the shop! 

Submitted

Quite hard but fun and addictive. Sometimes, the merge didn't happen after  the  dice moved by the upgrade power. I'm not sure if that was intended or not. The dice placement feels very satisfying. Great job!

I love gambling!
But no, in all seriousness - this is great! It's like a mix of Tetris and 2048, although it fits the theme more for last year's jam than this one's! That said, please give me more of this, i need this in my life as a wacky rougelike game to spend hours in

Oh man. I wasn't sure if I had got it yet or not, and then I hit a combo from white to orange, and I couldn't stop. I read the other comments, so I won't mention it, but yeah, this is a fun game. Reminds me of 2048 in some ways, but also Puyo Puyo.

Submitted

I came back to this the next day because honestly it's so fun. I'd love to see if you do anything further with this.

Really fun! Couldn't stop playing it! Until I got to a blank screen and can't continue (i think this is a bug, and sometimes two same value and same type dice couldn't merge, not sure why)

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Yes, it's a bug that comes later in the game. Reaching that moment means you have mastered the game!

Submitted(+1)

Really fun!

Submitted

I really enjoyed playing your game! I played for a good while. Had the screen glitch out when upgrading and wasn't able to continue but didn't ruin the enjoyment of the game!

Really fun game! Loved the idea

Submitted

Good game,  its satisfying to play. Good job.

Submitted

Very pleasant and good idea. I think some graphics or sound indications for the upgrade could help a lot.

Submitted

very satisfying to do big combos!

Submitted

Super fun game. I could actually see myself play this on my phone to pass time. Also, it's pretty satisfying to hit a big combo, so that's a plus. Good job!

Submitted

Good and satisfying cascades, nice gameplay that is open to different strategies combined with luck/gamble feeling. Also score board was a nice touch to see how I did among others :D

Submitted

Really fun concept and got addicting quick, a solid game, good job :)
