I really like the sound effects, but i would have loved a little tutorial. Great  job!

I like the concept of the game, which reminds me of stacklands. I am very curious about what color stands for?

Developer

We used color instead of different dice faces to get a prototype up, and then didn’t have time to go do the animations for all the faces.

Creative and interesting game, could use a bit more explanations

Confusing at first, but when you figure it out it's pretty interesting.  I was a bit frustrated by the time limit though, I rarely had enough time to get more than one order out due to all the randomization happening, and also I just wanted to keep playing the run because it was fun!

Oh I think the time limit I was running into was actually food limit haha

Nice idea! I initially didn't know what to do but got the hang of it. Not sure what the fourth spot did, but I think it could be some sort of research/upgrades plots. Idk if there was a way to spend the currency but upgrading the dice or plots could be a nice new addition.

Thanks! The fourth spot did nothing, but didn’t get hit by events either. The currency is just a score. Upgrades would be a cool addition.

I wasn't really sure what to do, but I loved the art and animations.

Thank you for the feedback!

I love the sounds and music! I would like a "roll now" button. If you don't have a lot to move around there is a lot of waiting. Once you get the hang of it, it's really fun, and makes me want to try different strategies. I'm gonna come back to this later, need to test some other games too :)

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, we’ll add a “roll now” once the game jam is over.

 The game does not load.

What browser are you using? We've had a few people play with no issues.

Working fine for me on Chrome, does take a minute or so though.
