The use of 3D elements for a gamejam is very impressive, Whilst you didn't make the entirely you used what you had in a very effective way. The gameplay loop seemed quite weak at first but then as i cleared more sides and encountered stronger enemies a stratergy appear through. Overall this is a great submission! Good job! I loved the death animation btw it made me lol.

A unique concept and a really pretty game. The game was engaging and made me think despite the randomness.
I do feel like some more mechanics and variation would be nice as the gameplay started to feel slightly repetitive.
Overall, good job!
This game is great! This concept is original and the music is very soothing and relaxing. I think you could add a moving animation to the player, but other than that it is a great game!
This game is just great one of my favorite for this jam. I would like to see future of this game. Maybe you can add some upgrades and put it on steam. I just love it. Great work ^^
I enjoyed this entry, really plays and looks well. All the animations are set up very cool. Its a bit hard with random high rolls but thats the spirit of this jam i guess :D good job
the game was quite fun but it is purely luck based as you have to get a high roll and your opponent has a low roll
it doesnt really matter what order you put your dice in (with a few exceptions) you will still die if your sum is much lower than the opponents sum - this is much more noticable when you have low health.
otherwise it would be a fun game
Looks amazing. I love that the board is a dice itself.
Really enjoyed this one! I don't usually fancy turn-based comment and at first I thought this was going to get stale, but I really liked having to strategize the order of the dice for some reason. In a few combats I was in full defense mode and was just trying to minimize the amount of damage I was taking, which felt kinda bad, but also felt good since I had to think through the problem. Overall the game plays well (and I hate the red dragon thing I swear its dice are loaded). I do think that the penalty for healing is a little to severe, it's essentially just a restart button, which is quite unforgiving since you can very easily find yourself in combats where you take large sums of unavoidable damage pretty easily. Regardless, I thought this was a lot of fun and a well made submission that sticks to the theme well :)
Had a blast with this one! The battle system was superb. The only thing I didn't like was how the entire game reset if I wanted to heal. I think that would have been a good opportunity to make me sacrifice some of my dice in order to regain health – like a risk/reward sort of thing. But honestly that's a minor complaint. The game was a blast! Awesome job :)
What a fun game! Love the death screen. Slightly disapointed I couldn't farm up to a ridiculous number of dice but the max dice limit is very understandable haha - I enjoyed seeing the dice being yeeted when rolling.
This game is super cool, I like the animation for re-rolling the world and I like that you have to choose your battles. Great Submission! :)
Very clever idea, nice graphics, and solid, fun gameplay!
I'm amazed by the cleverness of system reusability and how solid everything looks!
The only thing missing for 100% solidness imo was unpicking a dice,
and for improved gameplay QOL, maybe some potions/upgrades :P
(guy looks like a wizard, I expected him to be able to 'magic' the dice for.. stuff xD)
Awesome entry overall!
really creative and I really like the idea I played for a long time tbh😂
I wish there was a way to unpick a dice if I clicked wrong also not knowing what you're going into I wish there was a way to walk away if it was too much
since you can only heal by starting over.
But great game nevertheless. Good job!
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
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.
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.
