Cool twist on old arcade games. Cool graphics and music!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

A nice little arcade game! If you don't reset the music track between rounds it helps to keep players minds in the game

Developer

I definitely wish I had time to add in that feature, but time just got too tight. Thanks for playing and for the feedback!

Submitted

Simple ideas are often the best!

Developer

After seeing the popularity of my game, I guess I have to agree. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Simple, addictive, effective... Nice game! But pls make a option to lower the audio.

Developer

Thank you! And, yes, that would be a nice feature.

Submitted

Hah- simple but well presented; having the dice bounce around also led to some really satisfying (accidental :P) trick-shots into cards!

Developer

Yeah, definitely lol! Most of my trick shots are accidental. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

My high score 11200,  feels very satisfying when my dice bounce off of a wall 10 times and hit the card when it is needed most. Really addictive.  Very simple great idea.

Developer

Wow! That's an insane high score! I think you've beaten the creator at his own game! Lol, thank you for playing!

Submitted

The bouncing of the die is just so fun to watch... The idea was nice and was fun too, GoodJob!

Developer

I know! I love watching it too. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

It may be simple but it's engaging and executed well enough to play for a while. I like that you can actually make the golden die roll into enemies to kill them.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I'm glad you thought the game was fun!

Loved the visuals and the concept is fun!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

I thought the aspect of hitting a dice to make another one move, the golden one as well, pretty fun and I could see it develop into an interesting mechanic, almost like a play of pools where you would hit a dice into another for maximum killing efficency. Those ennemies at the start spawn a bit too fast and close to the golden dice, and maybe an indicator to see when we could send our next dice would be nice for future builds (like a small animation of the end loading up, or a simple bar charging, anything)!

Developer

I completely agree and wish I was able to add in that feature. Thank you for that feedback and thanks for playing!

Submitted

Cool idea but the grain was kinda unnecessary :P. Fun and enjoyable!

Psst! Check out my game too: https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-jam-2022/rate/1613573

Developer

Yeah, I might have gone a bit much on the grain effect. Whoops! Lol, thanks for playing!

Submitted

This is surprisingly addictive. Knocking the king dice is satisfying but I agree with the others in the sense that making it invincible during that makes the game too easy and repetitive after a while. I’m not sure I’m fan of the noisy video effect but the mood is fine overall.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! I appreciate it. I'm glad you enjoyed the game too!

Submitted

Nice way to use the theme! Bouncing stuff around felt satisfying. Could really work with a bit more depth!

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the game!

Submitted

Interesting design and the music  fits the game. Good job!

Developer

Thanks!

Despite the fact that you had less than a day to complete this, you made something and it works! Good job! It is definitely not the greatest game ever made, but I enjoyed the 3 or so minutes I spent with it.

The was really strange at first and I just kept dying as I roll enough dice to kill all the cards, but after reading the description I understood that I could knock the king dice away, which made the game a lot better. With that being said, I think that the game is a bit unbalanced, as just shooting dice at the king dice will basically make you invincible, I think a compromise which might work better is still being able to knock the king dice away, but not giving it the ability to kill cards; this would force you to make trickshots to both kill cards and save the king at once, which might be a bit cooler [if this is too much, perhaps disabling normal dice collision would balance it out]. I like the ability to change sides as it makes it a lot easier to track down specific spots; perhaps a more intuitive design would be to have the play are be a circle and to move the dice cup around the ring based on mouse position.
The presentation is nice, but the song starting over and over was very grating, I don't think that torture should be a punishment for dying in a game ;w;. Just letting the song play even after you die might be a better idea in future. Otherwise the graphics are simple but cute, the pastel background is nice.

Overall just a fun few minutes :) Wish you guys luck and thanks for the game!

Developer

Thank you so much for the feedback! It really helps and I plan to take feedback like yours into consideration when I work on future game jams. And also, thanks for playing! I'm glad the game gave you some enjoyment for a little bit.

Submitted

Really different from other submissions ive seen, well done! 

Developer

Thank you! I'm hoping its difference is what helps it get more popular!

Submitted

Really impressive game, cool concept too!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

Fun little game, I quite like the score being displayed the way it was.

Feedback:
- For a game like this I recommend having a local high score. It gives it x1000 more replayability.

But good job, well done, and keep up the great work.

Developer

Yeah, I would have definitely added in a high score feature if I had more time. Thanks for playing and for the feedback!

Submitted

The arts is quite good, but the gameplay could use some improvement for sure. For such short timespan this is already pretty amazing. Nice work!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback and for playing!

Submitted

Nice and simple

Developer

Sometimes simple is best! Thanks for playing!
