After finishing the entire game, I'll have to say that this is a really entertaining tactical game. It definitely has a good degree of depth  to what one should do each turn., especially with the fact that enemies  deal a decent amount of damage, and the game itself was easily understandable. The one thing which I would like to suggest is maybe displaying beforehand how much damage each attack will do to an enemy, because I felt myself getting a big surprised when an enemy just survived with a sliver of health and I get rekt and also maybe an undo button for your moves, because sometimes I would be just out of reach to hit an attack. All in all, great game and I really had a lot of fun playing it! -Sincerely, Li-huan Shen

Really cool turn based game! I really like the Art and animations, and the music helps build the atmosphere, overall a pretty cool game! Good job!

Submitted

Super polished game. Had a lot of fun playing it. If the development continues on this one, I would suggest it follows a more difficult route so that your strategic choices matter more. The idea of thinking where to move so that you also have the right spell to use is really clever :) Very good job overall!

The idea is wonderful, the game works smoothly, art and sound are also excellent! The only thing I would add is an x2 speed option, a super cool Into The Breach style tactical game, gg!

Submitted

Really good game with a high amount of depth for a 48hour jam! Good job!

Hey, you stole our idea. Just kidding :) It's the same idea but still very different game feel. Great Job!

Submitted

This game is both creative and good-looking at the same time. Haven't seen a strategy game in a long time in this jam lol. Very impressive that you made this by yourself in 48 hours + the music! Keep up the great work mate!

Submitted

I love the art style and audio you have here, The gameplay is also really nice. Great entry!!

Submitted

Wow, this is really cool! Presentation is amazing and it's a pretty unique concept. I like how the face of the die determining which ability you have available adds an extra layer of positioning strategy that you wouldn't see in other games of this genre. Really great work!

Submitted

Pretty cool turn based strategy game. I liked how you could move a little to get the face you wanted, attack, and then move a little bit after to get into a better position. I did feel like the fireball was maybe a little bit too strong since it did pretty decent damage and was AoE.

I really appreciate that the spells were designed to each be different and useful in a specific scenario; I ended up using each ability at least once. Also, the balancing of the damage and enemy health was excellent. The attacks felt satisfying to use, and the levels didn't turn into long grindfests.

This game had a really clever way of incorporating the dice theme, I really liked the trade-off of positioning and getting the spells you need. The different spell ranges and the placement of glyphs was also a good way to keep you from sitting in one place too long.

Very cool game, fun mechanics.

It's a great take on the theme + very polished. Well done! 

Submitted

Very good idea! I enjoyed spending my time in it, 8/10

Submitted

Amazing game! I loved the music and the the balancing of the levels, One of the best games I've played so far!

Submitted

Great strategy game! It's a feat to take away any form of randomness in a game about rolling dice in combat!

Submitted

Really cool. It reminds of Into the Breach in a very good way! Great use of the theme too, having you juggle what move you want to use and where you want to be has interesting gameplay consequences!

Really cool concept, I quite liked it, congrats!

Submitted

Super fun little idea! I really felt the oldschool tabletop-vibe! I also loved that you presented the spells you would get at any position you’d move to. That really reduced tedium and make the game focus on what mattered.

Well done!
