Great atmosphere. Looks beautiful. But with just one chance to move, and then uncertain of whether up or down, I always end up outmaneuvered...
I really liked all of these steampunk bugs.
Love the art, always a fan of good pixel art, and a cool combo of familiar mechanics into a unique and creative core loop
Thanks for the feedback ! Glad you had a good time ! :)
Very cool concept. Love the pixel art.
It can be a bit frustrating if you don't roll what you need, but as it's a short game, it's not a problem.
Amazing job!
Thanks for playing ! Yeah a mechanic to mitigate RNG (reroll with a cost) would have been great to implement !
Cool game. I found the mechanics a bit hard to figure out at first but it clicked after a couple of tries. Also I often found myself trying to roll for movement actions but wasn't able to get enough.
Thanks, yeah I would have liked to have the time to implement a step by step tutorial ! Yes the movement is quite fundamental to a run, a reroll mechanic (with a cost) would have been good to mitigate these kind of frustrations.
Thanks for playing ☺️
This is just my type of game, very cool. The music was dark, spooky and chill. Well done! Rated!
Thanks for playing ! You can find more from our talented composer here : https://www.youtube.com/c/CleliaFIANI/
Really nice game! Once you understood, it becomes really fun to optimise your moves and crush the enemies. I wish the game was a bit faster on the animations.
There is some potential here, congrats!
Thanks for playing, I'm glad you had a good time !
Animations triggers and delays were a bit rushed and arbitrary due to a lack of experience of the team with the unity animator ^^
I like this pixel art style. I was confused on how to play at the start too, but well done.
Thanks for the feedback !
Yeah the game mechanics are a bit hard to understand, but once you get it the fun begin haha. Glad you enjoy it.
GG guys, best game, music and art is incredibe, the mecanics are so good and easy to get, takes a few min to get the hang of it but once it's understood it's easy to master the mecanics. Animations are great, and I love the idea to mix the randomness of the dices with some strategy
Aww thank you for this feedback Flaflou ! I'm glad you enjoy it even tho, i agree, it's not quite easy to understand at first.
Kudos to our two artists for arts and musics, they're awesome ^_^
Cool game! I was confused on how to play at the start but figured it out eventually. Pretty hard but gives me Into the Breach vibes.
Thanks for playing ! Yeah gameplay is not always intuitive at first glance I agree, I'm glad you figured it out. I see what you are seeing with Into the breach, except you play the swarm here ^^ !
Nice little game, I managed to beat a couple turns. I think a better RNG would have helped. I was stuck with down arrows for too many turns, and couldn't fight back any of the enemies above me! The concept is good! Maybe a button to reroll the dice type would have been a nice addition!!!
The game is (again) not clear about that, but you can warp from bottom to top and vice-versa with the corresponding arrow
Cool mechanic and great art/music!
Maybe some dice can be buffed since movement and attack ones are a little too powerful than the others in my opinion
Thank you for your praise !
Funnily enough some enemies are actually a bit more powerful than originally planned due to some
bugsemerging features so balancing the dice became tricky.Excellent presentation, the art and music are great! I really enjoyed the particle effects on movement and couldn't tell if that was pixel art animation or algorithmic animation. Either way, kudos there!
I wish the game was a bit faster paced... having to wait a bit after assigning dice was frustrating. But the combat itself comes together smoothly. The gifs are what ultimately taught me I had to drag the dice onto the character to activate an effect.
Good job!
Thanks for your feedback !
Kudos to our 2 amazing artists that continuously flooded us with amaazing sounds and sprites in this jam !
The movement effect is actually a "dissolution" shader I made in unity shader graph. It didn't turn our as planned (some weird colors) but it was a great asset for movement, death and spawn to feel a bit more dynamic.
Yeah tutorial and pace needed a bit more work !
A fun turn based strategy game. The overall dice mechanic was well made and works well for this game
Thanks for playing !
Interesting game mechanic! Not sure why are the tiles aligned in a cross shape when hovering over the revealed dice. Also would be nice if the popup shows directly the tooltip of the revealed skill. Found myself playing this game for quite some time, enjoyed it honestly, great job!
Hi ! Thanks for playing, I'm glad you had fun. Yes the tooltip is not perfect, you sadly have to wait to see al faces. It's in a cross shape like a cube patron !
Ahh that makes sense! Looking forward to see how you're gonna improve the game after the game jam!
pretty good game. quite challenging too
Thanks for playing ! Did you win a run ?
nope. got pretty close one time though.
+ tutorial checkbox
+ fitting style (visual + SFX/theme)
+ all in all a great line defense mechanism
- balancing seems to be a topic. 5 rows, 3 defenders and too little defense possibilities on runtime. too many enemies maybe? we don't know
Thanks for the feedback !
The balancing is something that might need a retweak once the jam is over. I firmly believe that having a dice that allow to have a movement everyturn is not a good solution, because it remove a lot of constrain (if you manage your placement correctly, you should be able to fill any lane in any turn since you can warp from top to bottom and vice versa).
On the other hand, having no movement during 4 consecutive turn is a big issue. A nice thing we could implement is forcing the yellow dice to give you a movement if you didn't have a movement on any dice last turn.
Additionnaly, we saw the suggestion to be able to put shield and heal the core. Healing doesn't sound like a good idea but shielding the core is definitely something that I would like to implement
The theme is super creative and the game looks pretty good! Music and animations are great. I wish there were more options for movement; I never seemed to roll the right arrow in time to intercept
Thank you for your feedback ! TheBlizzard and myself put a lot of love in art and music in attempt to create an atmosphere. The devs seems to have some others feedbacks for this movement issue, for now this makes the game challenging for sure ! Thanks for playing
Very cool idea. Was a little confused at the start though.
Thanks for playing ! Yeah tutorial needed a bit more work !
At first i didn't understand I had to put the result of the dice on an unit, after that, the game was totally clear.
The randomness is controllable enough, you feel you could do better when you do your first run and want to do another (at least, that's what I did, and won my 2nd run :D).
Missing a bit of juicyness/feedbacks, but it's always hard to do everything in 48h, so well done!
Thanks for the good feedback and for testing this game on stream !
