Love the concept! Though I would have like more noticeable room quality changes (Different pattern/Color for each dice when you put them on the map). But I really enjoyed this!

Thanks! Would've loved to have added more visual changes and make it more clear what the dice were doing, but ran out of time of course. It'll be in the next version for sure.

There'll be a 2nd version? I'll be waiting for that!

Developer(+1)

Yes, hopefully soon. There's lots I want to improve upon.

Wow this game is super fun to play. Are you planning on working this out to a fully fleshed game? I can see a lot of potential in it. 

Great work!

Developer

Thanks! I am considering expanding on it since I think there's a lot more that could be done. I think it could work as a short roguelike.

Pretty solid game, I like the inventory system.  

I didnt realize the purple pickups swapped my dice and I got stuck in a room with only dodge and shield lol.

Developer

Oh yeah, I meant to add a system to make sure you always had a weapon, but I ran of out of time!

Lovely game and interesting take on the dice theme, I liked it a lot.

Using the dice pips as ammo slots was a   good idea that I hadn't thought of.
