Very cool game concept.  I would like to see more design or graphics but really good job

Really nice concept. But it's weird that the enemy has the same dice as yours. Also, while there could be some nuance if you know the enemy's health, the third upgrade is clearly the best. It was unfortunate that after level 9 the game just stops working, instead of some message of congratulation. But very well remembering to put a way to quit the program.

Small and fun game with a reasonable mixture of skill! It’s funny to see how the actual dice has different numbers on it in the field. I really enjoyed arranging my stats. I tried going for a balanced build, but it would also be really funny to max out one of the faces at the detriment of the others.

If I were to change something about it, I would change the combat UI. I would make it like looking into the side of a machine and seeing the dice bounce around inside, kind of like food in a blender. I would increase gravity so they settled faster. You could even add a button to nudge the machine, kind of like how you can nudge some pinball games if the ball is rolling somewhere you don’t like, in order to make your die land on a different face if you don’t like where it’s going. It could definitely be cool to revisit the idea outside of jam conditions!

Thanks for the fun!

Cute game!

cool little game! it was not really visually appealing, but smiled a bit when i could see the stat changes happen on the actual dice :)

once i got to, or finished, level 9 i could not go further, so i assume that’s the end
