Really creative and satisfying! Love the branching paths and the main mechanic is really intuitive :)

super satisfying and punchy, a great use of the theme and a cool concept. i like that the board itself was a massive cube as well

Developer

I played the whole thing through and really enjoyed the progression system. At the beginning, stronger enemies were quite intimidating and I was barely able to manage my HP. But, by the time I got around 9 dice I could quickly finish all 6 sides, very satisfying! Besides, graphics and audio were very athmospheric.

Developer

Thanks for playing! We loved the idea that the dice were part of the progression system! Glad you had a good time. :)

I love how this game is random but also gives you control over the outcome. Unfortunately, I'm so unlucky that I didn't make it far, or I was just too greedy. This game also implements the theme of the jam in several ways. On the one hand the world is a dice that rolls and on the other hand you roll dice in battle. Very well executed, i enjoyed my time playing this game. Good job.

Being more in control of the random was one of our core design pillars from the start, I’m glad you felt it! Shame you got an unlucky run! Thanks for playing! :)

Really cool idea! I especially love the animation of him rolling into the lava pit when you die. It was a nice touch haha

Developer

Thank you!

A cool game with a neat mechanic and beautiful presentation. I think the choices that the player could make could be expanded a bit

Developer

Thank you for playing!

I had fun playing your game, but I wish there was a way to make more meaningful choices during combat. There is an obvious better way to play (just choose the highest dice), and no reason to do otherwise, which makes the fights a bit automatic. The only time you need to pay attention is when the enemies roll their best dice as the second or third, then you have to consciously keep your best dice for last. I'm not sure how you could make things a bit more interesting, but I encourage you to try my game to see how I tried to make dice based combat interesting (sorry for the shameless plug :D)

The dice shape world is a nice idea, but towards the end when there is only one or two fights left it's easy to get lost. Maybe indicating in which direction the next fights are would help, or removing the paths toward empty sides (or even making a magic dice where whichever path you take you end up where you need to go.)

I liked the heal mechanic, that's an interesting choice! Do I keep on going, risking my life, or do I start reroll the dice, having to fight again through all the fights, but stronger than my last attempt? That was clever!

A very good entry, that can become something really great with some tweaks!

P.S.: no dice in paradice! Unbelievable! 

Developer

Thanks for the detailed feedback. We will definitely think about these points. Glad you enjoyed it! :)

Really fun game! Wish there was a heal mechanic that didnt restart the game. Like sacrifice a dice or something. Still extremely fun though

Developer

Ooo, that’s a great idea! Was thinking about ways to sacrifice dice and that would work very well. Glad you enjoyed the game!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Great concept, I love the fact that the world map is a cube too. Well done!

+ its got a good pun :)

Considering the time constraints, this game had a really good feeling of progress as you play. I love the choice of colour and assests, its really cohesive, and the choice of music brought it together wonderfully. Maybe the difficulty curve was a little steep (the first dragon I fought was both the first time I lost health, and left me on 1hp!) but with a little tweaking and testing could be an easy fix after the jam. I love the healing mechanic, reminiscent almost of souls-likes in the way you get everything back but enemies respawn! Very creative and well executed!

Developer

Thanks for your detailed comment! Glad you had a good time with the game! :)

This is very valuable feedback! Thanks for playing and glad you enjoyed it!

Good job, gorgeous graphic and understandable gameplay. In my opinion, this game just needs some extra mechanics in fights to be more challenging.

Thank you for playing! :)

Thanks for playing :) Wish we had more time to flesh out the combat even more. Lots of ideas on the table!

It’s a clever idea combining attack and defence into one die.

Select some of the dice from all of the dice makes the game not too random, giving players room to think about strategy.

The art is beautiful, and when I enter another level, I finally realized the map is just a big die! Nice idea!

Developer

Thanks for playing! :)

Loved it. Actually Played all the way through and won! (only one heal). Those Red Blob monsters never stood a chance.

Developer

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed the game!

Thanks for playing! Red blob = 💀

What a fantastic combat system! It's really easy to understand, but gives the player a lot of decisions each battle. I'd love to see more if you decide to work on it after the jam
