I like the basic idea of the gameplay, but after a few rounds the decision making got pretty stale. But I like the concept and think it could be a full fledged game with some iteration!

I had some more different ideas, like "smarter" enemies which could see future rolls, or mystery enemies whose rolls the player can not see, alas, I ran out of time hence why the last few rounds just repeat until the player runs out of health.

Cool concept, but the graphics could be improved. Also, snappier movement would be nice, feels sluggish right now (the SFX doesn’t help either, it really feels like I am moving a stone block). Besides, I respect the choice of C++ for this project, really nice.

I Agree, I had planned to do some movement animation, i.e. actual dice rolls, have a walk/attack/die animation for the player and NPC and have the dice in the side actually move. I did actually originally have a footstep sound for the player and NPC's, but when it became clear i did not have time to do the walk animations I transitioned over to the sliding and breaking.

Thanks. Though I did not make the sounds myself, and I do actually disagree that the sound and art are good. I had planed to do some actual animations. :)

I really like this! It took a bit of trial and error to understand how the turns and actions worked, and what the dice on the right meant, but once I got the hang of it this is a fun little game!
