How does your game fit the theme?
Metaphorically, Dicey Justice is a story about taking a chance to do something that might not turn out well for you. Mechanically, several elements of this choose your own adventure visual novel are decided through RNG, including the outcome of those dicey choices.

Yay, got to save the hostages with a sweet 1/6 roll of the (barrel) dice!
Thanks for the game, was really nice.
I myself thought about doing a text-based game, but I could never achieve such good results as you did!
I'll replay it just to see how everything ends differently :)
i like how the theme was incorporated in both the story and the mechanics. it seems like the player is at the mercy of rng but it's a visual novel after all. good job!
A good interactive adventure game. Arts in this game is very simple but you used very effectively. I like it. ^^
Hey I save the day because I rolled the dice!!
Really cool! I enjoyed that quite a bit. The dialogue was quite humorous and kept me engaged. Also really small quality of life thing but thank you so much for letting us get through the text quickly. Makes it a lot easier going through several playthrough!
Anyways well done one making this! A very good unique take on the jam theme!!
I like interactive story type of game, and yours story is well written , I think colored graphics would have been better choice but there are time constraints so no issue.
I didn't expect to see any choose your own adventure type games, but this was super neat! Reminded me of coming up w lil stories w my friends as a kid.
I went to clear out the bathroom, and I got stabbed while washing my hands lol. Idk why, but that got a chuckle out of me. Keep up the good work!
I really like the style and creativity you've got going on here! I couldn't seem to get the game to play fullscreen, though I'm not sure if that's just a me problem.
If you've got a minute, I'd really appreciate if you're able to check out my game as well :-)
If you hit ESC it should go full screen! And I've added your game to my queue!
An amazing little game! I won on my first try and spent some time exploring the other endings. My only suggestion is an endings earned counter on the main menu so the player knows how much more there is to explore still. Other then that phenomenal game with a great sense of humor. Arguably one of my favorites of the jam!
There something tracking the endings actually! That's what the 12 squares and their icons are on the left hand side of the start screen, each icon represents a different ending or achievement
That's cool! I didn't realize that while playing for some reason!
When I first went through I thought that was it but after playing again. you provided many options that weren't just death route. Fun story and art.
Very fun. I chose to save the hostages, went through the back entrance, tasered a guard, stopped for some ice cream, contemplated life, and then got stuck in a window until law enforcement came.
Dear Zachary Fox!
You proved us with nice storytelling and well-done and stylized art. I died, got stuck, befriend a robber and played gems to go on my phone. But in the end, I freaking rock and ROLLED!
Thank you and keep having fun with game jams!
Nice game, with good replay value too. I like the idea of a choose your own adventure with random outcomes for each event, good job!
I wish there was a little more use of the theme, but the idea was cool. Congratulations for your work
if you have a little time, check out my game too, I'd love your feedback! thanks
Really cool game, just that it doesn't really implement the theme that much, but apart from that, it's awesome!
I like your take on the theme, and the game looks very polished. I would've made it easier to skip dialogue when you're trying again, or made it so that it paused between sentences, but overall it's very good!
Definitely the best game i've ever played in this jam, I will continue to play this. Loved it, good job!
That was really good!
The replay value of this game is great. Thoroughly enjoyed it :)
i lived happily ever after with my ice cream truck husband. 5 stars
also nice music
A fun, concise "choose your own adventure" game, with multiple endings to boot! It's funny, fun, and trying for all endings doesn't feel like a chore.
Nice little 'choose your own adventure' style game.
