this gave me and stream SO much anxiety but I loved this game! very cool concept 

Submitted

The art is amazing and I love the premise. My one problem is that the player has almost no control over the actions you take, its 100% random. You can keep the random aspect, but the player should be able to influence somehow or else you just feel disconnected. Amazing job otherwise!!!

Submitted

Cool Little game !! :D loved the art and gameplay , easy to understand and play , Super polished game too , Good stuff overall :D

Submitted

The presentation and concept are great.  This is quite impressive for such little time.  With more time this could be really compelling.  The one thing I would look to improve is that currently it doesn't feel like the player has too much agency since the dice completely superseded them; finding a better balance would be key.

I enjoyed the dithered black and white effect, reminded me of comics. Like previous commenters mentioned it would have been nice for more variety, that being said this is the first game with a dice based narative I have come across and I like the effort to do something different!

Submitted

Very cool visuals, would love to see it polished out with soundd effects and more betting types. It would be interesting if you could weight your bets in some to try and get the outcome you desire easier!

Submitted

Nice game. Liked the UI and graphics. Please check out my game.

Very nice artstyle and interesting gameplay, however you don't really have control over what happens as it's all randomized (true, that's kinda the point, but it means you might as well just go ahead with the default marked choice...)

Really nice humor and scenarios, fun game overall!

Submitted

Really cool idea! The artstyle is really nice and coherent. I also really like the background of the page!

Creative. Great art. Needs music and sounds.

The gameplay didn't feel very impactful. Always got odd or even. Regardless what I chose, it didn't seem to matter. Population rose and declined. If I guessed wrong, it didn't use my choice so it felt silly to think over my choices.

Submitted

I like this concept!! And the art style!! Good use of the theme

Submitted

A cool concept presented with a unique art style. It reminded me of "Reigns" quite a bit.

I found the gameplay to be quite repetitive, as it seemed odds/evens is all I ever rolled on what I assume to be the mini game dice, but that had little skill to it.

I'd definitely like to see what this game looks expanded upon because the foundation in interesting. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Really like the black and white style choice.

I'm not sure there is any tactics involved, is it pure luck based?

Big fan of the presentation and the concept here – lots of polish on everything I saw. Simple enough, but still an engaging little gameplay loop. It's always fun to see a jam game involving story into its gameplay and then managing to execute it quite as successfully as this. Nice work!

Submitted

Amazing graphics, like undertale and reigns. Nice!

Submitted

Thanks for your comments ! Once the GMTK is finished, I'll make an update to add the ideas I didn't have time to develop.

- Several mini games (roulette, range, ..)

- Many more events

- An indicator of the impact of choices

- And many more !


If you like the game, don't hesitate to come back and play it when it's updated!

Really liked the artwork! Gameplay can get a bit repetitive, and a few 8-bit sound effects would have been nice, but the scenarios this world ended up in were quite interesting. Good Job!

Well done! Really fun and interesting idea. The pixel art is polished and consistent, along with the design of the UI. I also learnt that I would make for a terrible leader from this game haha
