Game Description
A boardgame with some narration
How does your game tie into the theme?
I'm not sure actualy lol ! The alchemist and the nymph are liked to metamorphose, the dices metamorphose in token, and the board flow keeps changing with new rules.

Absolutely lovely!
My smooth brain was unable to comprehend the intricate rule set - but that did not stop me from admiring the copious amounts of eye candy! The sound design was also very nice.
I even enjoyed the minor bug I got at the end, made me laugh for half a minute :D
than you for the kind words my good sir
Great game.
yay, fun and cute style, at first i was confused and it was hard for me to click on the help [?] button because i couldn't aim on it, but I understood the game quickly after. Music was cute and calming, I love how the game has tiny bit of the story (the sequence at the start) and art and design is cute!
Now, I want to talk about some things I did not like or found unpleasant. Even tho I like the movement of the hand, I wish there was some kind of dot that showed my actual cursor because when you hover over the white grid, it would've been a nice update if you ever plan to update the game, the hovered grid would change so little that I had to look very closely to see where did I aim, same for green tiles. Another thing that I have a question is, where is metamorphosis, one of my guesses was that (I guess) these tokens can metamorph into different numbers, but In my opinion there should be then more focus on it, like some more 'grand' effect and sound effect (this game has big potentials for satisfying sound effects too)
but yeah! other than that, this game was pretty sweet and cozy
hello :) thank you for playing !!
Your points are more than fair ! I chose to remove the hand cursor because I wanted to stick with the idea that the character hand was clicking on things etc but i must say it's not practical. For the metamorphosis, you're more than right - for this jam I wanted to focus on game design and trying to create a playable and enjoyable simple boardgame, but quickly I lost touch with the theme and it was not my focus anymore. I tend to have difficulties linking the theme with the mechanics etc, and for this project it shows :/
Lovely dice game. At first I was scared of all the numbers and rules in the help menu but it was actually all pretty straightforward! The music makes it a very peaceful experience.
I did notice a slight visual hiccup in the font when I get a tie:
Super minor though. Very good work!
Thanks for the kind comment :)
Yeah I noticed this problem after the submission :'( As I played a lot to test the game I won everytime and never got a tie lol. Playtest am i right
We loved playing this game! Everything is very smooth and we really liked that you included a mistaken throw, and the dice were rolled again. We couldn't beat it though! hahaha XD
really glad you played my game together :)
cute game!
