Wow! What a cool game! I loved the dice rolling animations and the entire mechanic of throwing the dice into enemies. I felt like maybe a tutorial would be nice, just because it took me a bit to figure out how exactly to play. Also, some more feedback like camera shake and whatnot would definitely improve the overall feel. Really cool game!

Very impressive work!
The dice rolling could be improved a little bit. Maybe make it easier to throw the dice with a single click. Some of the effects could be also explained a little bit more. It took me a bit to figure out what the white symbol does as there’s no visual feedback to what it actually does.
I can see this being a full game!

Jackstone Yacht ClubLove the visuals, and the mechanics are pretty intuitive, but I found it a bit frustrating to roll the dice while playing. I had to drag it around more than I would have liked. Otherwise, this was a really nice experience!

Gambler's Fall-acyDefinitely the most fun one I've played in the jam so far; a very simple and easy to understand premise that can easily be expanded to a really fun level. It would be cool if you could get more die, or have different levels with separate die combinations. As well as other die combinations, the ways you can take this are endless! Super super fun, I also loved how throwing die at enemies damaged them too, twas a nice little addition that made it feel so much more polished. Keep it up! You've got talent!
Great! This game'ss concept is smart and creative, and the presentation is super polished. Well done!

Atomic DiceTook me a bit to figure out you needed to actually ROLL the dice. I had just been clicking on them, but once I got that figured out it was pretty fun. Still not sure what some of the dice do, but all in all I think it's a great concept!

Die in the DepthsVery nice execution, minimalistic graphics, animations, sounds and the overall vibe is great. Gameplay wise is fine I think, some dice results are way more satisfying than the others (my favorite being the purple "fan" one).

Roll Space RollI like this game a lot! It's very easy to understand and still fun to play! I love the whole presentation and the coolest thing was that you could also damage enemies by throwing the die at them. Like, I really needed that at some points. Great job!

Blob N RollOne of the best so far, amazing art style and fun and frenetic gameplay. I had a blast playing it

Gameboard AttackFun and satisfying :)! I really like that the dice are 3D! I wish the randomness was a bit more uniform sometimes, as getting a lot of hearts or crosses at once can easily kill the run. Would probably be difficult to implement though, since the dice rolls are physics-based :). I also sometimes missed that the dice expired, maybe a bit more feedback on that would help me notice. Other than that, it's a very pretty game, well done!
