I liked the visuals, but this seems like a zero player game. Would have been nice to interact with the dice, maybe add a selective reroll mechanic, like in Yachtzee or Farkle. Maybe also add some unfair advantage for the Devil you have to overcome somehow, because you know, he's the Devil.
I like the picture for the Devil. :) He looks… nice, which is contradictory, I guess. XD (Except the Devil is supposed to present himself as alluring, so maybe it is not.)
Some comments / questions:
As of right now, the game is clearly too incomplete to really assess; still, I think the concept sounds classic: you interpreted the theme as a random dice game.
By the way, I notice the page says you submitted the game more than 10 hours before the deadline; too bad you could not use the remaining time, apparently, I am sure you could have added some interesting mechanics!
I hope you will complete your game later. :)
I'm curious if there was to be more cards? Like more tarot cards in your plans? I also feel like this game would be fun if there was some sort of 'cheating' mechanic so you can 'trick' the devil and what not.
Also, with all the exports, couldn't you have also added a browser version? It would definitely entice more people to play your game too if they can just play it online.
There was more cards I wanted to add where every time you won you would get a power to use. At the beginning of each round you and the AI get to choose a random power up that will give you a better effect on the outcome.
Seeing that the game was made with Unity, it should have been possible, but maybe is it more complicated? I have seen people on a game jam forum asking for help because they ran into WebGL-related problems to publish/build their games.
It is true that Web versions are the most universal for compatibility issues, but when you have Linux, macOS, and Windows versions, apart from some select distributions, accessibility should not be a problem. I am somewhat bothered by those players that will renege on testing a game when they could but are just too lazy to download it, it is not like there was malware all over the place… (I am not talking about those that do not have the right operating system, in which case it is legitimate.)
PS: another argument that comes to mind as I read this: furthermore, depending on the type of game, navigator versions can run into various additional technical problems that desktop versions often do not have (such as sound, random number generation, screen resolution issues, performance…).
This isn’t really a game, but more a dice roll simulator. But it works overall.
Thanks, I wanted to add powers to make it more like a game but ran out of time.
