This is a really creative and fun turn based style game! Really good work!
pretty creative. Nice one
Congratulations! This was a very original idea! I'll make sure to give it a few more tries later. Also, great name for the game ;)
Pretty fun challenge. I must have done well because I do this pretty often to my players, haha.
This concept works so well for the game jam - awesome job! I enjoyed the graphics and story, and the audio made it feel like friends playing dungeons and dragons together in person.
I really really enjoyed that game! The mechanics are simple but as a TTRPG player myself it really resonated with me. And it was funny! Good job!
BTW, check my game, it is inspired by TTRPG too (I tried to implement the combat system of a TTRPG I'm working on)
I love the idea of playing as a DM who wants to give their players a fair, dignified and challenging fight. Of course I slaughtered the players in my first playthrough, but then tried to create an epic fight in my second. The soundeffects are hilarious: Schwing!
What I was missing is any visual representation of the dice rolls. Despite that i think you did a good job.
Yeah. While all the damages dealt are dice rolls, we really should have prioritized a visualization of that but ran out of time.
Thanks for playing~
I love this one tbh. You could totally flesh this out more. I love the idea of playing as the DM villain who is secretly trying to let the party win

Wonderful concept! Really captures the feeling of a ttrpg, and putting the requirements of the in-game players first is a refreshing change of pace and feels very thematically appropriate.
I loved the monologues - voice acting was perfect for the setting, and the delay effect is ridiculously over the top in the best possible way :)
Would love a little more challenge, as I found it relatively straightforward to lose, but I thoroughly enjoyed it all the same :)
Woah I love this! the presentation and creativity is amazing! It could be a little more challenging but didn't really effect my enjoyment at all. great job dude!
This is absolutely brilliant. The cobbled-together nature of it and the sound effects really delivers the home-made feel of RPG campaigns. Besides, every DM knows this struggle is real.
Unusual concept. It's interesting that you need to give the players a satisfying experience instead of just beating them. And I like listening to the monologues.
could have used osme animations for the attacks but apart from that..... AMAZING!!! I would have gone this route but started 17 hours late and panicked you have done this really well and love the aim to be letting them win but making it feel like a challenge, I loved the monologues
Not really a fan of voice sounds effects.
No music.
Visuals seemed to be from different asset packs.
Never had to monologue or cheat. I just spaced out my damage between all three characters.
Overall the game was simple, easy to understand, and enjoyable. I never had to change how the dice landed so I can't say if this really fit the theme.
Had to leave a comment for the quality of the sound effects SCHHHWING
The sound effects made me smile : )
A good game of cause and effect, trying to know what each move does.
Short and fun game to experiment with.
I did get 69 points on my try, which is a bonus.
I really like the concept you trying to make the players just barely win.
Really good job, incredible sound effects.
I like the concept of losing to win and using rigged dice;)
10/10 sound effects
