Very solid game. The way we drag the dices to set the destiny is actually very interesting. Is a very clever way to bring to digital what is being done in the real world in board games. I would suggest for future development, auto end turn after a second and greyed dices if no destiny possible. If all greyed, auto end turn, but don't remove the button! I like the possibility of ending the turn in the middle of it, even with available viable moves! Congrats!

Well done!

Really nice idea and well executed! Good work!

Submitted

Very solid game, genius idea with nice art! well done!

Submitted

Enjoyed this one very much! Great concept and fun!

Submitted

Well done!  I like that it requires you to go the full distance on a move instead of letting you run into a wall.  The dice building features are also more fleshed out than in my game.

Submitted

Great take on a turn-based dungeon crawler. Plays very smoothly and has great contextual feedback that clearly surfaces where you can move/attack when selecting dice. Might be interesting  to have specific dice you don't use carry over to the next turn or an ability to keep particular dice from rerolling for a set amount of turns to add another layer of strategy. Regardless, very impressive work!

Submitted

Really, really cool idea! A really good mix of control and randomness - the balance of which is extremely important to strategy-ish games. Well done :)

Submitted

Amazing submission. More variety could make this game a really interesting  release. I would've liked it more if you could keep the dice you didn't use in your selection though, kind of like a card game. Meaning, you would be able to plan ahead on which dice you should keep in your hand. Also, making the turn end automatically would be a nice QoL change. 

Some random ideas for more dice: AOE attacks, projectile attacks, diagonal move.

Nice! I had a lot of fun clearing out the whole level, even when I could have left.

Submitted

Very cool concept and realization! Just running around the rooms and collecting coins, then kill ghosts, buy cubes, etc. I like it! Great work, men :D

Submitted

Very interesting, I would love to see this idea expanded upon.

Cool idea but a little easy. Maybe each unused dice when you re-roll should add 1 movement to all enemies.

Submitted

It's a bit too easy to win by sitting far away and yet a little to hard to just move around and collect coins, had to roll like 5 times after killing all the enemies to simply walk through the door if i was unlucky. the game looks great and feels really polished tho!

Submitted

A nicely polished take on the classic "Roll to Move" mechanic. Good job! I liked the use of multiple dice to combat the pure randomness and the multiple movement types.

I do wonder if it would be improved with two things:

  1. Having "Attack" have some disadvantage (like how teleport misses out on gold). As it stands, it is strictly more powerful than "Move" in every situation and more powerful than teleport in most situations.
  2. Letting the enemies move more frequently (or more per move). As it currently stands, I had so much mobility and attack that it was very hard to fail.

That's a game I like to spend hours and hours on! Very polished and rounded! I really like the music and sfx, it fits all nicely together! Well done!

Submitted

An amazing game as i've got to expect from you, great job! Keep it up man!

Submitted

I used a similar mechanic for my game. But have to concede that yours is a better game, nicely done.

A well-polished game with simple but very interesting system! Love it!

Submitted

A nice and very fun puzzle game. It was hard to understand at first but the more i play the more i understand it better. Great game as expected from the monkey guy himself <3
