Yippee, gamba!

I like the art and the fact that this has a narrator. It's also really creative to have the dice change with each round.

Sound - dialogue is very rare in game jams  for  my dyslexia it quite nice , simple but straightforward for one playtime but maybe if dice would have some strategy behind them or a roll controller that whenever it is stopped dice will give you a better or worse number !

oh, nicely done! Sound and dialog were excellent, artwork was delightful, and the dice-rolling was very satisfying.
I enjoyed when the "metamorphosis" was sprung upon us, not only forcing us to play more hands, but with new dice sizes. Plus, bonus points for having clearly discoverable options and credits pages.

The game is pretty neat! At first, I felt like it would be better as dice poker/Yahtzee , but when the dice started to chang - I was like nwm :)

Well done! And great voice acting! :D

Got turned into a pet squid by an unknowable entity three times.  Other than that, nice atmosphere, interesting narrative, good legible narration!  Nice jam entry!

Developer

Thanks! :)
