This was charming and I had a lot of fun with just the basic gameplay, even if the diceroll outcomes weren't that clear while running and shooting
I found it creative and fun, I liked your idea
good work!
if you can, check out my game too, I would love your feedback
thank you very much. It is my tradition to check out as many of my commenters games as possible:)
In some way it have similarities with my game, on the other hand it has its own unique play style and mechanics, awesome work buddy!
I dont see the similarities my guy. Thanks for playing tho
Awesome work, really enjoyed playing this one, and I like that you teach the player how to play in the game rather than a separate 'how to play' page.
Obviously graphics arent there, but it felt clear enough which number did what
Thanks! I really took what gmtk said about teaching people with text to heart. Kinda didnt have time for art so i just went with the prototype.
Pretty nice concept!
What I liked?
- Throwing the dice was quite satisfying
- The constant changing stats at each throw gives a feeling of a double-edged sword, which is interesting in term of design
Other comments:
- The graphic style is a bit rough, but it does the job
- Sometimes I felt that my throw was a bit imprecise
Overall nice job!
Thanks! The reason the throwing isnt too accurate is probably because i add a lot of spin to the dice so you cant get same results apart from num. 1 so when it bounces it goes a bit weird and because the character isnt really aiming at the cursor perfectly; it acts as if it was on a 2d plane and was aiming at the cursor and then it aplies it to the 3d character. Now I realise that it couldve been easly fixed by shooting a raycast where the player points and aiming the character towards the collision point.
The game is great, and I'm sad I couldn't make it past level two because my computer started struggling with the cursor. The thing that I didn't like was that I really didn't fully understand what each dice roll did, and the pictures beneath didn't help too much. Maybe explaining them in the tutorial could be a great idea for a future update?
Yeah explaining them would be good but as a temporary measure: on the right you got your stats, anytime you roll there apears a number with a letter on your character; the number indicates the change of the stat and the letter is the first letter of each stats name so for example: -4t would be you losing 4 points of your throwing strenght and 10h would give you 10 hit points. Sorry for making it so complicated and im glad you enjoyed it:)
Thanks for the explanation! I believe something as simple as that would make a big difference
the concept was cool, and the throwing mechanic was fun to use, however i didnt really understand what was going on with the dice roll result so i mainly just ignored it.
Glad you enjoyed it :D The results change your stats in the level and the numbers on your character indicate by how much.
Fun concept! Throwing was really fun!
Thanks!
Great job on this game! I enjoyed the core throwing mechanic a lot although I rarely waited around for the die results. I like the simple, readable graphics and the tank enemies. Having something more than a cylinder for the player along with some music would do a lot for the presentation for me. The added elements in the last two levels took me a while to figure out as well. Fantastic job on the game!
Thanks for checking it out. The results do take quite a bit of time to happen so I expected for people to interrupt them i couldnt really make them be faster as they would conclude while still rolling which would not be ideal. Im really happy you enjoyed it
Very intresting game with a cool concept. I found it quite enjoyable to play but didn't manage to beat the last level. The art could be a bit more polished and some background music would've been good. Nice job!
It felt like the last level was kind of pushing it and looking at it now it would've been fine with just 4 levels. The reason it was so hard and generally bad is cause i made it like an hour before the deadline so i didnt have time to balance it or do anything at all. Thank's for checking it out and glad you enjoyed it, means a lot to me.
The best way to beat it is to just keep rolling untill your stats get absolutely ridiculous an then just skip the doors completely:
