Fun game with a very unique idea, however sometimes I would consistently roll 1. Good job! :D
Love the gameplay !! It was nice and simple ! the concept was super original and fit the theme really well. Great work!! :D
Nice auto battler! I enjoyed watching the minions fight and gathering money. Although I found myself rolling for money a lot when I wanted to watch the fights.
Cool push-your-luck mechanic, though it's a little bit heart-breaking when you lost your best dude (or the one you just bought :D) due to 1, but that's the game.
The lack of agency that others mentioned bother me a little, but I had some fun nevertheless. It would be fine to be able to move your guys or decide which ones would get powerups :)
Love the concept, just needed more agency.
Not bad, but I faced lack of agency.
Plus game has not clear goal or end, so that kinda disappointing a bit.
Full marks for this one. Really enjoyed it. Even though I got 4 1's in a row! Lol, that's just my luck. i think perhaps I'd like the stakes the escalate. First "1" costs you 5g, then 10g, then a minion perhaps. Anyway, great game. It will do really well :)
Good point! I like the idea
Cooool! Like the choice you need to make on the risk. You should tweak the RNG so that the first few levels it actually cheats to favor the player (to avoid level 1 losses)
This is actually kind of cool. I made it all the way to Wave 13.
Always keeps you guessing!
First run I rolled a 1 three times in a row lol
Reminds me of "Pass the pigs" I like how the mechanic was executed in a video game, the game is pretty fun too, well done !
This game is genuinely fun. Good job!
Wow this game is really fun to play!
This gameplay is so interesting! And the tutorial is also well-made. I love it! : D
I liked the RNG, and hated the RNG! But really, I enjoyed trying to build a team while avoided the dreaded ones.
Super fun game loop! I was really invested in the rolls of the die, and whenever it teetered around the 1 face, it was a nail-biting experience!
The music, art and gameplay all felt great!
After rolling four 1s in a row, wiping out my entire team in one swoop, I concluded that the game did not like me.
But I very much liked the game! The bouncing of the dice is just the right about of stressful, and I appreciate that despite the randomness, there is still a fun sensation of strategy.
Oof unlucky, yep that is what you get sometimes with rng, thanks for the review :D
I think I have a gambling problem, I killed more of my units than enemies did...
Good visuals and music, well done!
nicely done! I like the risk vs reward game in place, coupled with not knowing what's about to come your way both in terms of your upgrades and your enemies.
