I was just a tad confused even after reading the description, but it was a pretty cool idea of a game. The sfx made me jump the first time actually cause I had my speakers too loud and didn't realize there was sound haha.

A minor suggestion: Adding in music goes a long way, it just makes the project feel more full and complete as the player plays and takes very little time to add in.

Overall, this was a good start for a project, especially for one developed in only two days. Keep up the good work!

Interesting concept that the dice dictates which area of the battlefield is in play. A player never knows where exactly his units will be most needed! I found the animations a bit confusing though, it looks like the subtraction of health may happen before the animation plays?

I completely agree that my timings and animations is quite bad. My code got really messy so I didn't get it as I wanted it. Thanks for playing!

Super creative game. Love the concept and the gameplay too. Great work :D

Wow thank you so much. I have gotten very negative to the idea overtime but this really lifted my spirit :)

It was not possible to figure it out right away, but when the gameplay became clear, it showed its best side)
P.S.: It would be very cool if everyone who sees this message would go and honestly evaluate our game. Because we have already rated over 130+ and continue to do so, and our game has only 28 ratings...

Took me a few rounds to understand how it all worked, but overall it was an interesting idea. I was determined to beat the PC after it was clearly spawning more tanks than I could, but I wasn't quite lucky enough. Good Job!

Yeah its not so polished so I understand it took sometime to understand it but Im glad you got it in the end and yes the computer is placing 3 random units so maybe not so balanced but it was what I had time for. Thanks for playing!

Promising mechanics. It was not clear to me at first, but after understanding it became more interesting. I think if you finalize the interface and balance, you will get a very good game.

Im glad you liked the core idea!

Miniver GamesSubmitted2 years ago

Nice game idea, a bit more polishing and it would have been even better. Very good job though!

Submitted

BlueSquareMovesDeveloper2 years ago

Thank you very much

greenphoxSubmitted2 years ago

Nice idea, and nice gameplay. Tthere was a lack of polish, but if you think that it was made in 48 hours, it's an amazing game, kudos!

Thank you so much and yes I didnt get barely any ploish but at least I got the idea to work.

ChmeeeSubmitted2 years ago

Interesting game idea! It's not quite clear which dice is rolled and who attacks when. If you clear that up (and get an actual end game condition ;) ), it will be a really good I think!

Dicey's Adventure

Thanks for the feedback

luanmmSubmitted2 years ago

It was a bit confusing as what deals damage and to what extent. Also I got CPU health to negative but I could continue fighting haha

It has an interesting concept, and I think that if expanded and cleared a bit will be a very pleasing game :)

BlueSquareMovesDeveloper2 years ago

Thanks for the feedback I agree on all the points you bring up.
