OMG! VERY VERY VERY COOL GAME!! THIS IS THE BEST GAME I PLAYED IN THIS JAM! WELL DONE
Well done on completing your game in 48 hours!
Ok, the music here slaps. I really like this track. I just sat and listened a bit before starting.
I love the idea of upgrading your own dice as you need to solve different problems. That's a cool premise. However, this just didn't click with me. There was little explanation and the randomized(?) quests left me feeling pretty aimless. It felt like it was a bit tedious to have to open the forge menu every time I completed a quest, and since there was seemingly no penalty for ending the turn, I just kept rolling and it didn't feel great. It felt like there was a missing sense of urgency or direction to it all. More tutorialization or explanation in the description might also help.
Oh - and I'm not sure the SFX slider was working correctly. It didn't seem to do anything until it was nearly all the way down. Either way - having the music slightly muffled for a pause menu is fine, but when that same menu is also used to set the volume, it can make adjusting the volume to a comfortable level a bit more of a chore.
Cool looking game and I wanted to see more in this space. Great job team. Keep making games!
Ahh nice game! Love the art style, and the game mechanics are really interesting. I wasn't quite sure how to forge, or how to put stuff into inventory (maybe it is automatic)? But it was very satisfying locking stuff into place!
This is one of the best game jam games I have ever played and you should definitely keep working on a full release of the game.
Some minor notes: It isn't easy to distinguish between a dice and an item as they are identical and you don't know which dice is which when you forge them. Great game though!
Might be my favourite jam entry so far. My only complaint is that it's initially unclear about what to do, but the game is really intuitive so figuring out things for yourself is just another layer of fun! Super creative, super simple and superbly well made. Excellent job!!!
10/10
after understanding the game it was really simple and fun. Good Job!
Played right into thing I enjoy: Simple but yet somehow fun games. The dice rolls weren't in my favor and the forge didn't tell me what it exactly did. Yet I played for around 20 minutes before my run ended. Well made. 4/4/4
Stay crunchy
