I really enjoyed this game - a particularly novel way of teaching some sort of touch typing. The concept of the keyboard was excellent.

The presentation and concept were really great! Nice game!

One of the most unique game concepts I've seen in a long time! It could use some gameplay polishing, though.

I think my main gripe is that the player should be able to focus a lot more on the fudging itself than having to spend time trying to figure out how to do it. Getting the dice I want onto the board shouldn't be as much of a challenge as it is currently IMO. Also, actually labeling the keys would go such a long way in helping to figure out where the dice are relative to my keyboard, though I do realize that with different keyboard layouts all around the world, that would require some localization work. Finally, I think if only one enemy remains, I shouldn't be forced to have the dice on the correct side of the keyboard anymore, that just feels a bit mean.

All in all, though, this is such an inventive concept that I would definitely like to see polished up a bit after the jam! Well done!

Cool idea! Maybe put the letters on the keyboard, so it is less frustrating?

Great game!

Very funny! Presentation is also nice, although I had some overlapping soundtracks. Game play mechanics are fun, but could use some polish and variety, it got dull after a few fights.

Aargasujdjashd so frustrating. A great concept though, but I really wish for some other way to fudge the rolls than the gosh-darned keyboard. Super creative otherwise.

Genius!  Loved it

Beautiful and polished! And it's so much fun in mashing buttons to get the result you want and not to let enemy win) Love it)

Perfectly in theme, the concept is fun and original. I had some clutch moments rolling my dice against the enemies to fudge them both at the last second.

The presentation is also good and the game page is curated. Well done!

On a side note, I didn't notice any option to modify the settings, playing on web I found the music too loud and I had to lower the volume of the browser.

That was very clever! I want my dice to have something good, and I can reroll enemy dice if they land on something I don't want!
