Good game but a few things. How is Karen a single mother of three kids when she has a husband? How is she threatening to sue me when she claims to be a single mother of three wasting her money at the casino? There is no way she can afford a lawyer. Also that mob guy actually isn't apart of the mob, I'm from New Jersey and I know what the mob actually looks like and that isn't it. Especially with that fake animal fur around his neck. And he isn't even hot. But the professor from Stanford I can respect so I don't mind losing to her.
I really like this! the premise is unique, the gameplay is engaging, and the art is absolutely gorgeous! some minor quibbles:
The fact that your opponent rolling cocked dice results in a softlock is rather frustrating and really breaks the suspense that the game works so hard to maintain. I really wish that players could simply reroll in that scenario instead of being forced to reset the entire match.
Also, while having the last opponent be the most suspicious makes sense from a gameplay standpoint, this makes Ms Valentine comes off as merely paranoid rather than a statistical genius, given that two or three high rolls in a row isn't THAT surprising.
If you were to expand this game, it might be fun to see opponents get suspicious if the player takes too long to select a die among other factors... (^_^)
All in all, a very fun and attractive little game. Keep up the good work!
Wow, the art is absolutely gorgeous! I loved the mix of the 2D portraits and 3D environment! I found that balancing my weighted rolls was pretty tricky, and sometimes characters would be suspicious of me for rolling a pretty innocuous roll (a 3). But overall, the character designs were charming and the dice animations looked very clean! Great job!
I really enjoyed the art and game mechanics! The 2d and 3d blend well together 👍
I had to mute everything because it was soo laud! Make any type of settings next time please. Other than music the rest of the game was great. The art style was very nice.
We actually did add a volume setting! Admittedly, though, we didn’t make it clear in-game how to reach it (you press tab). Appreciate the feedback!
Absolutely stunned by the artstyle and the concept overall, magnificent!
MAMMA MIA ISSA GOOD GAME!
Really love the artwork and the concept is fenomenal!
This game is so creative and charming. The characters are well designed along with the environment. The music also fits nicely. One aspect that stood out the most to me was the personalities of the characters. Although there isn't much dialog, it really captures what kind of people they are especially with how they react to the player. Gameplay-wise, the controls were very simple and easy to pick up. Overall 10/10 game, left me wanting more.
love the style of this one, really a beautiful game!
interesting idea with player psychology
I absolutely adore the artstyle with the hand drawn portaits and retro 3d environment. The gameplay is fun and surprisingly tense as you have to make your wins seem probable and not rigged. Also smart move to predict a possible softlock in the game that I experienced by having the dice reroll;
