wow i didn't expect this game to get this addictive. The sounds and animations are perfect, hearing that sound of the dice hitting each other is amazing. Getting multiple 6s in a combo feels so, so good (until the last one falls in the hole and you lose all your dice damn it!). Really I didn't expect much when i started the game but i must say it's really addictive. Very nice job
Really cool game !! the GUI is really nice and well built , the game itself feels polished and detailed , Good stuff overall ! Nicely done for a 48 hour game jam !! :D
Very chill game ^^
I enjoyed that, got myself a trophy. Satisfying to throw dice and potentially get an exploding chain. Sound effects were on point. The only potential issue is that holes were rarely bothersome since they were so cheap to fix.
This was a lot of fun! great work on the sound design! I also had a combo of six like 4 turns in a row hahaha. Felt good
Super polished game, I wish I could come up with simple ideas like this more easily. Just needed faster pacing or maybe more challenge like randomizing the holes!
Simple but complex, love all about it. This is a great game that really has that 'just one more time' feeling coupled with the tension only exploding sixes can provide when that collect has reached high.
A masterclass in game design principles - simple mechanics and excellent progression system, risk-reward balance and replayability. The maximum exploding dice distance could be reduced a tad!
Very simple and fun mechanics!
Awesome and simple concept, but surprisingly really fun! I love the satisfying sound effects, the cute music is pretty fitting, and the potential of exponential explosions with chaining 6's is a genius mechanic. Also, that pixel art effect for rolling the die is brilliant, I couldn't figure out a good way to do that in my game but you nailed the tradeoff of complexity and showing the 'roll' effect. Great work! 10/10
Very addictive!
Those damn 6's are a blessing and a curse, satisfying sound and visuals, feels great too
i fix a hole i got a hole
Very cool! No bugs! Easy to understand!
Creative concept, really enjoyed it, watching the chain reactions was great.
Game feels polished, sounds nice, plays smooth. Exploding dice is really fun and nice to see. Would love to see this game on mobile!
Fun game, cool theme.
Fun game. It's very satisfying rolling a dice into a big dice pile and seeing the 6's explode to more dice.
i love this game
I enjoyed this game enough to play all the way through, at least taking 20 mins to do so. Plenty of strategies to be developed throughout.
Great game and very well polished, the music and sound effects fit perfectly to make the game relaxing and fun to play for a while. The only suggestions I would make are to reduce how far dice are sent from explosions, because as it is now, you can get really unlucky and have a die explode from the very far end of the board and still instantly end your run. The risk vs reward is great and made me feel anxious every time a die exploded. An upgrade to lengthen the board a little bit each time would also help players achieve the late game power fantasy, otherwise buying too many upgrades actually hinders you and can make it impossible to continue. One of my favorites from the jam so far!
Thank you! Nice feedback. Yeah, bigger board sounds like a great idea!
