I like the theming of the game--using sugar cubes is a cute way to keep the feeling of rolling dice without having literal six-sided dice. I also like the Yahtzee influence. Good job!

The web version seems broken (freeze at the start of the game for me), but hopefully it is downladable! :)
The game is pretty fun. I like the minimalism in the rules. there's not so much action possible, but it still allows some nice strategies. In that regards, I find the "tutorial" screen a bit too lengthy and confusing. It's a lot of info to remember without having played yet. The game is fortunately very easy to get, the actions are clearly presented and there's always a feed-back. :)
The art is really nice by the way. I love the different monsters animations, as well as the sounds. It was a sweet game to play overall!

Pachinko SuitesLovely game! The art was adorable and really gave the game a feel very different from any other game I played in the jam! The implementation of the theme was also great and creative. Great, fun game!

Dice RollvolutionThe art is simply amazing! Minidice are the cutest things in the world and animations float wonderfully.
The strategy aspect might not be that deep, but the game is extremly polished and is fun to play as a result. I also like the element of progression you added with candies and extra dice.
Great game!

Night of The Dead FishermenThis is really really cool!
I loved building my army of little dice! The gameplay loop is nice, it works well, and the special candies that you get at the end of each level gives a bit more strategy options to the player. It is the perfect balance between gamble and strategy! I played really badly on the first game and I lost to the 2nd enemy, but after that I didn't loose a single Minidice!
The game feels really polished, the art is incredible and it feels very animated! I loved the sound effects for the Minidice, it is very cute and funny. Also, the music was very fitting.
The only complain I have is that when you start having a lot of Minidice, selecting one particular Minidice without sending all the others to their death becomes a challenge of precision and focus haha!
I wasn't expecting it to end so soon, because it made me choose a candy before the end screen, and I wanted to play more :')
Great job!

Re[rol]loadCheckpoints must be on the same enemy. I got a lot of fun from the game, it reminded me of patapon. The animation and sounds are gorgeous. Great job. I don't understand why the game has so few ratings.

Slash the Dice | GMTK 2022When the game end, i was kind of sad. its way too short ! Want to play alot more. such simple concept somehow its addicting. Great Work :D. One downside is that each time I click a button for like next game / start game its kind of a "hang" and I assume my webpage hang instead. haha

Dice QuestNeat concept and very challenging; difficult to decide when to allow your dice to take a death and when to reroll for better defense.
Looks fantastic, with great audio too, some issues on WebGL as you've acknowledged.
Giving the enemies some more unique abilities/conditions would keep the game interesting going forward.

Roll for SafetyWow, nice gameplay & animations! I liked it! Btw, very cute game, except for the fact that cubes are being killed :(

Buggy PC | For GMTK 2022Fun and funny gameplay. Begs for adding more dice types and mechanics, but I like it this way as well, not to simple, not overly complicated.
Music and sounds are cool. Oh, and seeing so many "dice" games, I love that those are sugar cubes and vegetables; small change but a welcoming one :)

Character Sheets, PleaseGreat Artstyle and creative RPG implementation of the Theme. So adorable cute fighters.

Dice To SurviveReally surprisingly deep mechanical combat for such a short game with 3 actions. Super tactical and tickled my brain just right. In a future release (which i hope there is) I would love to see more actions the dice can take. The game is absolutely amazingly adorable too
