Fun game. The AI was a little underpowered, as I won 10 times in a row, but well made!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! Yeah, the AI is at disadvantage, as it has to make the guess every time.

I really loved art of this game. Great Job!

by the way could you play and rate my game?

Developer

Thanks for playing! I'll try to check out your game later when I'm playing., no problem.

Great concept, i really like the art and this is pretty enjoyable but the design feels too common since there are just too many game with this mechanics

Developer(+1)

Yeah, I wasn't too concerned about uniqueness. Just a simple dice game, that's it. Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

The gameplay was simple and easy to understand! It was quite fun to play because it took some thinking to actually have a good prediction. Good job!

Developer

Thanks for playing! :)

Thanks for playing! It's just me on the team.

I'll take a look at your game, no worries.

Graphically this game looks great. Mechanically the game is very simple, but that isnt a bad thing, because it allows for a very polished experience, that runs very well and with few hiccups. Now despite the game being simple it actually takes some thinking to win and i like that. Glad I played this, its pretty cool.

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed the game, thanks for playing! :)

Ok so hear me out. Mathematical expectation for a sum of 3 dice is 10,5 (since it's 3,5 for each die), this gives us an optimal strategy in terms of maximizing our chances - look at what you have, add 10,5 and compare the result to what the pirate predicts. 

While the game might be very simple, the art, music and soundeffects all combine to create a good gamefeel. It is a finished (if maybe small) product with no bugs, or other issues, that looks and plays great.

Developer

Seems like you figured it out!  Thanks for playing and the feedback.

Nice work on short time. I like the art. I would have made the gambler a bit "smarter" though and only made legal guesses (like, I rolled something very high and he guessed an impossible/low total? or vice versa)

Developer

Hey, thanks for playing! As far as I know, the gambler is making legal guesses :) He has no information of your hand, though.

Great visuals and quick gameplay, not bad.

Developer

Thanks for playing :D

For 10 hours very good. Would have maybe added button click sound effects but that's it. The game doesn't feel unfinished or incomplete.

Developer

Agh, I forgot the button sound! I swear I had in mind briefly. Thanks for playing.

Nice Game! especially if you made it in only 10 hours. Would've like to have the die added up by themselves but that's just a quality of life thing.

Developer

Thanks for playing! If I added such QoL you wouldn't have the pleasure of counting the dice yourself!

love the artstyle, reminds me of papers please

Developer

Thanks for playing. Papers please definitely was an inspiration for the art :)

I dig the vibe you set up with the game. Simple and relaxing time passer. Fun gambling game. Would love to see this expanded with other patrons you can play simple games with. Maybe add a currency you can gamble and collectables. Love the art it's fantastic. Great job.

Developer(+1)

Sounds like I achieved what I wanted. Different patrons and some sort of tells for each would be cool.

Thanks for playing!

Aside from the well-made presentation that everyone is commenting about, I'd like to also highlight the smart AI in this game. Many of these types of dice guessing games involve not only mathematical skill, but also psychological analysis. When the enemy declared a low number, and I had an average hand, I guessed lower, as his guess was probably already low for him to declare such number. And my plan worked! A very small moment, but a satisfying one. Thanks for the experience, and congrats on the game.

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed the game :) Thanks for playing.
