Being able to pick extra scoring strategies, and asking to balance that against healing, is a nice twist.

I loved the strategy side to this and you compiled a great combo of visuals and audio so it felt super clean.
I played it a couple times until a dice got frozen into a cute lil wiggle.
Well done!  Normally game jam games don't feel so well put together that I feel relaxed at the end. :D
Thank you.

Love the way you turned existing mechanics into a combat game! Nice.

Nice simple presentation. I very much like the gameplay even if chance maybe feel like a bit to broken.
The game broke when I launch a dice that got stuck on an enemy dice an thuse would never stop i guess

Very enjoyable game, i've seen a lot of RPG-style games this jam but this is the first one i've seen that nails the gameplay enough for me to want to play. I wish it leaned a little more on the roguelike elements though, i was a little disappointed when the health-refill was a one-time thing and not an unlockable like the other options

Anyways, i'm glad to see another Yahtzee Roguelike! :)

Except the vibration bug, it's really fun to play!

This is a very nice twist to a classic game. Combining Yahtzee with power ups and a health system is an idea I would not have expected to work this well. You did a great job, I might play this again.

Nice! Clever combination of Yahtzee and some RPG type combat. I feel like this could be a combat system for a more elaborate RPG

Really enjoyed this! It's very satisfying to try and maximise your rolls, and the upgrades add an interesting  layer of strategy. 

Well done!

This is a really cool game! I played this for half an eternity bc I really wanted to beat all enemies, I like that there is strategy and progression to the game and that every die can be useful if you know how to use it. Great job :)
