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.
Although not a fan of autobattle, it was a pleasure to play, good music and gameplay
I really enjoyed the game! Initially I didn't feel the risk part of the risk-reward system, but that quickly changed after losing my first minion. I would love to see this concept turn into a full-fledged game!
Also, I found one small bug, where you can essentially lock yourself in the roll mode after hitting 'roll' then 'stop rolling' when you get a 1, so maybe the player could switch between the scenes using their keyboard instead of clicking the buttons.
I KNEW there could be some bugs with starting and ending animations :D Anyways thanks for the feedback :)
Luck based with startegy as well. Pretty fun to play, although I did lose my 100 costing minion, hope this can be completed to full fledged game.
I love auto battlers and I also love this game. Although I expected the gameplay to be annoying because of the massive reliance on output randomness, I extremely engaged in thinking of strategies to make my minions better. I do wish the camera transition between battle and dice rolling could be a bit faster but great game otherwise!
Good use of the dice roll penalty to keep players on their toes.
I love the tension you get when you roll the dice. But I also love the strategic planning of whether to roll or not. Most of the time, I'd just go ahead and roll the dice when I knew my units were low on health. I didn't roll when I had good units. The tension comes when you have good units and bad units and you are out of gold. You need to roll the dice, or you lose! I would have liked to be able to roll several dices with this concept. Increase the tension!
I really enjoyed this game. Good job.
Great job! I think the dice would be better with less bounciness but it's a fun game!
Very unique game mechanic. The gane is very fun to play
Cool approach to the theme! The Risk-Reward System works quite well and I liked the purple art style a lot. All the necessary information is shown very clearly to the player. There is a lot of depth you could add to the system in the future, but all in all, it's a very polished game. Well done!
well implemented push your luck!
maybe allow the player to throw multiple dice?
gj! 😀
This was a very well made game. I was surprised on how engaging the gameplay is, due to the fact that the description made it sound very simple. It had an interesting risk-reward type scenario where I was deciding if I should risk another roll or not. I also found the art style really unique and pleasing to look at. Excellent work!
Thanksm!
Very well balanced! I first thought that the dice rolls may be too powerful, but since you also loose minions for a 1 it works astonishingly well. Also great visuals and sounds!
really fun game :0! i found myself rolling a bit more every turn until eventually i got a bit carried away and ended up killing all my minions, so i guess you could say it's a bit addictive...
I like the idea very much! I also had an idea with those dolls on a stick, but yours is really fun too!
I can roll an infinite number of times and the eyes are summing all the time, bugs hate this trick!
I like the risk and reward mechanic, but the reward seems too low for me. I risk 3 4 or 5 time a unit to buy a new one, quite harsh :(
I liked the pushing luck mechanics in the game! While I believe this was an intentional decision, I wish I could have seen what was purchasable before ending rolling. I think I would have made more risky plays if I could have seen the possible rewards. Great job!
Thanks! Honestly, i overscoped so hard its a miracle this game is even out :D Good point though, this extra info might have made decisions more impactful
