simple, fun and the art is really good!

Developer

Thank you!

I love this game!

Developer

Appreciate it!

Great little game! Love the simplicity and charm. Nice job!

Developer

Thanks :))

Submitted

Great work! My only feedback is to see what sides of the enemy has a shield. Maybe I missed it?

Developer(+1)

Thanks :) The enemy will shield whenever the number on your die is equal to or lower than its number of eyes, no matter the side. So if you move around so that you have a high number on the die then it won't be able to block your attack!

Thanks for the tip! :)

A very satisfying and 'clean' game - love the polish, both visually and mechanically.

Developer

TYSM :D

This game is one of the best I've seen yet. I enjoy it all a lot, the enemies are smart enough to put you on the ropes, yet sometimes give you a break in peril, the concept is clever, and the cyclops is wonderful. Great game.

Developer

Appreciate it, thank you!

Wow! I am on a roguelike kick right now and this is a great marriage of the jam theme and that genre. Fantastic polish -- if I didn't have a bunch of other games to play you bet I would be continuing to play this one :) Great work!!

Also the music is clean and I love the narrator guy at the start.

Really polished and fun. There are a few games with a similar concept I've seen (higher number beats lower number) and this is my favourite so far, the level design and art really elevate it.

Developer

Thank you :)

Submitted

Very fun game!

The music is very soothing albeit a little repetitive :)

Poor NPC though :(

I sometimes wished the eyes were a little bit more visible but iverall I had fun playing this game, well done!

Developer(+1)

Appreciate it. It's rough out here for a cyclops...

Submitted

I like it and I enjoyed playing it! Well done!

Developer

Thanks!

A great concept, presented very well.

This game slaps! Really solid game, the music is so perfect! One small change of allowing players to recharge their current item or take a new item would of been a welcome change but really a solid game! Could play for hours!

Developer(+2)

Appreciate it! (shhh, don't tell anyone, but you can just roll around on the chest levels to charge your item. and, if you wait long enough, the new item will disappear and you can keep your old one. hehehe)

Submitted

this feels very polished! the sounds and animations felt really well, and i especially enjoyed the personality of the tutorial person :)

during gameplay, i often felt the game went either of two ways: either i rolled a high number and the enemies moved next to me one after another, or multiple enemies teams up and i lost in 2 rounds.

really well made game!

Developer

Thanks a lot :)

One of the best games of the jam easily

Developer

Thank you!!

Developer

Submitted

Wow! One of the best dice-puzzle game! Love it! Good job.

Developer

:)

Submitted

This one's my favourite so far! Love the simplicity, the polish, and the clever mechanics!

Developer

TYSM :)

Submitted

Extremely cool idea. Projecting the sides of the die around it, so you can choose your movement is extremely helpful and makes the whole experience very enjoyable.

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

This was so cool! I love mechanic and the characters. Very good job :D

Developer

Appreciate it :)
