Rolling dice is a main mechanic of the combat. The narrative of the game is Dice playing a Roleplaying game. And ofcourse there are many dice puns in the dialogue!

There is a lot of work in here, I love the concept that you move by physically rolling and then thats the attack. But is somewhat broken maybe?

Developer

Yes sorry! The combat is broken unfortunately, though I can't update the build to fix it. So it is more of a tech demo in current state. You didn't miss much though, as the game ends shortly after the combat.
Thanks for playing! :)

Nice ideea , but personally it seems to me that something is not working well!

This game is really charming and I had a blast playing through it! It's a bit unfotunate that the combat didn't work because it looked really interesting!

But one thing: please, PLEASE, never put neon yellow text on neon blue textboxes ever again, it is a crime against readability

great idea. I like it. Though it’d be nicer if it somewhat was smoother. Still a good entry

Cool idea, especially how movement on the board is directly tied to how you roll the dice.

Unfortunately it is kinda broken, but I hope you keep working on it!

If you play my submission: The combat seems to be broken. The game ended shortly after it, but it looks like you aren't able to win or lose and are unable to damage enemies. I'm really sorry about the inconvenience.

I hope you still have fun playing my attempt!
