Very cool idea and core mechanic. The thematic use of the dice as well as in the gameplay is really creative. The art is really nice too, very cohesive. Narratively I think you've found something awesome here about a game where you need to balance the risk of crime/cheating vs your needs or those that depend on you

Wow, this game is really fun. Cool art too. Awesome work for a game made in 2 days.

Really cool ideas here, tho I didn't quite get how the cheating works. Looks great too!

I love the idea of mimic dice, but I really don't undestand what I'm doing here. Got to 20k and then died to the second bar filling up. Was that a police attention bar? How do I not raise it, rolling when the cop is far from the table? Feeding dice is quite easy and cheap actually. Is there a winning condition? This game leaves me puzzled and hungry for more.

I really like the idea of a game intentionally made around cheating. I'd love to see that explored more in a full game.

The game is very fun, a bit buggy but very fun and difficult ;)

Hi Thanks for playing 😄, I was working on it as part of a team you can see the names of everyone and the roles too in the credits on the main menu and in the description of the game.

The "weird" vibe works wonders here (needs some music in the background to amplify the tone), very cool. I liked the art a lot (really cool art design), and the gameplay was fine, though very simple.

A very wacky concept (in a good way). I think it could have been more engaging if you could see the people you were betting against as you bet against them, maybe different types of people being more likely to catch you for cheating. Not sure if it was a glitch but there was no audio, which was a shame, but the graphics were really nice to look at! Overall, pretty cool.

A cool idea for a game! I just find it confusing that I died with no explanation of how it happened...

Really liked the concept of having to feed monstruous dice while scamming people for their money. A nice horror short story :)

Nice game, I kinda hardlocked myself the first time by buying a 20$ piece of meat right at the start, but once I decided not to be stupid it was a lot more fun :)

Interesting concept! I wasn't really sure how the dice game worked though

Hi thanks for playing, I wrote how to play in the description of the game. You choose to cheat or not by click the left (not cheating) or the right (cheating) mouse buttons. I'll add to the description that you supposed to choose after the first roll.

Fun concept! I couldn't interact with the butcher shop for some reason, but it's a neat idea!

Thanks for playing, trying pressing the up or down arrows key at the butcher's door. And to exit press the escape key and click on continue (that's a bug we found after submitting the game)
