Really cool concept and nice execution! The art is pretty good and it is really fun to play, good job!

I like strategy games but this just felt like a game of throw my people at the other people and hope to roll the highest. Not sure if there were some other mechanics going on such as getting modifiers if I was on the brown ground, surrounding enemies or attacking with certain pieces but I consistent lost because I roll low. Was interesting and the sound and art where good but I just couldn't get into the game play.

It was a bit unclear what I had to do to play, but once understood (through some trial and error) it became a nice strategy game. Could be developed further if enhanced a bit, both visually and in terms of gameplay!

Looks great! I agree with other commenters that a bit more feedback would make it clearer what was happening - it all moves quite fast on the enemy's turn.  I can see a lot of scope for deepening the strategy with different unit types etc.

Really cool aesthetic! I always like it when pixel art is placed in a 3D environment. Especially the dice throwing is really well done. I like the gameplay as well. Would be great if there were multiple levels or a better indicator of who is attacking who and maybe some battle effects.

Very nice job :)

Cool concept, like a mashup of chess and Risk. Pixel art was neat. Sound and music were nice additions, helped with the immersion. I liked the simple but dramatic introduction sequence. I didn't understand the different colored tiles though, not sure if they impacted gameplay? Same with different pieces/units. I like the idea, but think this could use a little more work for translating the basic gameplay mechanics to the player. Not bad for such a quick jam though.

Very nice setting. Very nice feeling. Most of the time i was pretty confused, what was happening, but i smashed em so that worked for me. xD Well done!

Good dice rolling game! There wasn't much going in the way of feedback so I wasn't sure what was happening most of the time but the dice roll animation/sound effect was great!

This is creative and interesting! Love the overlay of the game tiles and rolling board.

Music and Sound is good. Game is fun, but I did have a problem that if I clicked off a character it counted it as a move.

No player feedback, the players wont know what to do, because of this
