I wonder if death will bring you back... but you already were dead... Does that mean that you gonna be a living zombie then? :D
I like the game itself. I feel like music should be a bit more relaxing like in casinos it's always jazzy music so people can stay longer and play more of that. But it's okay, I still enjoyed it!
The idea to combine a good story with a simple "21" type of game is great!
Very good one! I chilled for a little bit)) Thank you!
Really cool twist on blackjack (the probabilities of 2 dice being a bit easier to think about to strategize with)
Handy abilities, cool sfx/music and art
Nice one!
An amazing game with an interesting twist on the classic Blackjack game! I would suggest adding a penalty to passing however, as there's not really anything stopping someone for optimizing the fun out of the game by passing every time they have a marginal chance of dying. Despite this, however, its hard not to try your luck or bite off more than you can chew with this game, plus the engaging presentation is just stellar. A top contender in the jam for sure!
Lovey presentation
Fantastic presentation! there seems to be a lot of potential to expand this with more things to bet on and more powers to acquire
Nice game of chance with a story, I like it.
Great Presentation and also great game name ;D
isnt this just blackjack with extra steps?
good visual design and sounds though
haha yeah pretty much. There’s definitely more that I want to add to make it more unique. Thanks for playing!
Presentation and execution on this are fantastic. Consistent, nice pixel graphics with matching audio and just enough of a twist on a classic dice game to make things interesting.
Thanks for playing! I’m glad you liked it :)
Very interesting game, the sprites are really well done. Furthermore, the beginning reminded me a bit of papers please.
Thanks!! Being compared to Papers Please is quite an honor haha :)
10/10 on visuals alone. Clicked for the thumbnail and wasn't disappointed. A great example of simple idea with a super polished execution :)
Thanks so much, that's really nice! I honestly think I spent too much time on polish because I didn't have time to add levels and an actual ending hahaha, but I'm still really happy with how it turned out.
