Wow, this game is so cool! The art and presentation was really amazing, and the dice roll is soo satisfying! The concept is really neat as well, and the exploration is really fun! I like how some squares are shown so you're kind of enticed to go towards it. I do wish there was the ability to pathfind diagonally, especially since the grid isn't entirely obvious. Still, I had a lot of fun playing. Nice job!

Loved the sense of exploration, can't believe a game like this was a two day project!

Developer

Thank you, I'm glad you like it! We only used one pre-existing asset pack for stones, everything else was created from scratch in two days. Thank you for playing it.

The reset button is broken!

Loved the artstyle and the fun of wandering! Very cute little game!

The art is very good in this game, and in the cover image. That cover image really stands out compared to other entries.

Really liked the art and exploration. This is very impressive for a game jam product! If I had to suggest something, it would be to add more direction about what the player is supposed to do. I know it’s meant to be open-ended, but I felt a bit confused.

Overall, awesome job!

Developer

Thanks! I sensed Zelda / Undertale vibe in your game, and liked it, cheers. One of the first rooms to the left seemed to have blocked path, or it was a start of the combat.

I was definatly hooked on exploring the world! Would love to see more things in this world and more methods of getting there. The art is fantastic and super cute:) Definatly want to see this idea explored more:)

Great Game!

Developer

Thanks! I like how you define positions of enemies from the position of the dice in Dice Tower, cheers!

Nice concept! I liked the visuals and the idea fact that you actually have to toss the die yourself. FYI - there appears to be a typo in your instructions. They say to use the LMB to move, but only the RMB worked for me.

I really enjoyed the look of the game and exploring/the generation of more of the area and tiles!

This game's art is delightful. I would love to explore more of the game but it becomes unresponsive to me really quickly. But for what I had, a really enjoyed! Good game :)

Submitted(+2)

Visually well put together, and the mechanics make sense after a single dice roll. Some clicks are unresponsive, but I think that might be an issue with the web build and not the game itself.

This feels very much like a single level of a full game, very well done, congrats to the whole team.

i love this art, super nice presentation!

Developer

thanks a lot for playing, I'm glad you liked the art!

Interesting concept, I loved the dice throwing mechanic. It did seem like the number on the dice did not correspond to the actual values I got.

Submitted(+3)

Nice work! Great animations and visual style, I love the fact that when you toss the dice they actually interact with the game world. Couldn't figure out how to preserve dice though so ended up running out quite fast.

Developer(+1)

Oh, great to hear you enjoyed a bit of it! Preserving the dice needs some clarifications on our end, like, gathering new dice and such. Thanks for making my mind twitch in Holonomy! Very clever and inspiring.

This is so well polished, very impressive in 48h! I like the main character and his animation.
Smart move to have placed some visual objectives, that's a call for the adventure. 

Developer

Ah, thanks, we had lots of fun! So epic, full of funny stories and memorable moments. Also had a good laugh at the end of Trolling The Dice, and that angry face animation is at the top!

I like the cozy ambient of this game and the feeling of exploring unknown areas.

Developer

Thanks! Good work with the die puzzle mechanics!

Beautifully done board game, I loved playing it, honestly. Felt compelled to explore, even being a simple game. I just didn't quite get how the dice works, I got 6'es but in result I was rewarded less moves than when I got 2's.

Submitted(+1)

I like that map is generated while I move to the edge. Only thing that feels strange to me, is that I can click on the dice and throw it how many times I want.

Submitted(+2)

Die issue or not, it was very enjoyable to roll. I do like how this resembles a board game, contrary to others, I thought the rolling of dice (beyond fitting the theme) added to the game. I had an issue after restarting but overall a fun relaxing break from typical videogames.

Submitted(+2)

This is quite unique. The graphics are nice, and the music is soothing.

I like the idea of using a dice to explore around the world. It feels very boardgame-eque.

I think I would prefer the game roll the dice for me. Rolling it myself felt tedious. 

Very good game. Needs some small tweaks, but otherwise has potential. 

Submitted(+3)

Not sure if I understood everything correctly (like, what's the exact impact of the dice in each situation), but the idea to create an exploration game out of this theme is very ingenious. The visuals are also great! Congratulations on making the game :D 

Developer(+1)

Huge thanks from the team, Matheus! Actually, there's a bug with the exact impact of the dice: the presented value is not equal to the actual value. We weren't able to submit a fix, but it was great nevertheless! Going to check your game with the team right now!
