On one hand, I do wish that the game itself made it clear how the enemy health worked, as I also fell into the trap of thinking that each enemy had a specific number that they were killed by. On the other hand, requiring the player to read the manual is very in-line with how a retro game actually was lol

Overall, I enjoyed the game a lot, and I could definitely see having this game on my gameboy : )

Really solid, I like the creative way dice are used here. Combining movement with attack power is simple, intuitive, and elegant. It's a little bit of trial and error to learn enemy "HP" (Like, I thought the red devils could only be hit when your die is at 5, but they go down at 4, too), but that's a very minor thing -- the game's actual puzzles were very satisfying.

The ghosts were especially interesting enemies to face against; rooms that combined enemies with different movement patterns made the most of this system. Well done.

I liked the concept. It was made with Pico-8?

Sometimes the character get out of the grid, but that is not a real problem.

Good job! =)

would very much like to see a whole game just with this mechanic

I love this concept of not having the dice roll be random! this makes it different from other games (including mine) that have random dice rolls! One thing I noticed is that when you have a 5 and move it resets back to 1 meaning that 6 doesn't exist?

Art and style of the game is awesome and the implementation of the dice is truly unique but is is hard to understand without a description :D 

Great job!

A fine combination of a really simple puzzle wth zelda-like dungeon crawler :) However, too often a strategy would be to just walk back-and-forth waiting for the dice to "charge up" and then attack.

Also, even some synth tunes for attacks and moves would be great, I really missed the audio on that one.

So this is simple in concept and presentation, but it does what it does very well. The one thing I was confused by at the start of the game was why it seemed like my attacks weren't working and I didn't understand why that was, but then I realized that it was because my attack power wasn't high enough (if there were sound effects, a clink to show the ineffectiveness of your attack would be appropriate). Still, it is rather annoying that you have no idea how high your attack power has to be to defeat an enemy -- simplest way I can think to do that might be to have each die be a different color, and that color corresponds to the enemy (though that also risks the confusion that they need to have that color to defeat the enemy, and not just have an attack power higher than it).

Also, it's weird seeing a grid based game like this that's not really grid-based. It's very easy to become QPU-misaligned. Luckily you can correct it by walking into a wall, but sometimes it can be confusing as to what attacks will hit you or where you'll attack because of this.

But like I said earlier, besides those few things, I think it's executed quite well. I'm always impressed when these jam games have a boss; I really like the way this one was implemented too (in this case the fact that the boss knocks you back clearly shows you're damaging it).
