So I've not been able to give this one the time it deserves, but I gotta say that's its a great take on the theme! Gameplay-wise its obviously quite RNG dependent but its still an enjoyable experience with a fantastic art style!


Was there meant to be any music, or has something gone wrong on my end?

Really fun and engaging! I love this little world that you've crafted, and the gameplay is pretty nice as well!

The gameplay I feel like can be improved on a lot due to it being very not engaging at times and I can't really tell if I'm playing a game or on an LSD trip but overall it's not bad. The style and geometricness is definitely the strong suits of the game.

Yooo, this is a really cool take on the theme! I love dice games and the story you added really helps to build an atmosphere around the game. The dialogue was funny and well-written but would've benefitted from maybe some facial expression animations and sfx. Some music and sfx to go along with the actual gameplay itself would also be really nice to see, but I loved how you incorporated patterns in a mathematical sense - great to go along with the different geometric shapes of the dice! Everything seems to work as intended, and despite the rng being a bit monotonous at times (having to re-roll constantly, possibly fixed by rolling more of your own dice per turn?), I really enjoyed playing through it! It also seems that you added a save feature to return to the game later to continue playing, which is a great feature! I haven't seen anything quite like this in a dice/strategy game before, so well done!! :D

quite fun! it can be frustrating to have to reroll 10 times to get the needed number tho

Very interesting take on the theme, and very geometric.  Could have benefited from music and/or sound, and the rng could be a bit frustrating, but overall fun to watch through the story.

Clever and well thought out. I like the characters. I would be curious what the different attacks were for the different shapes 

Submitted

You nailed the Geometricness. It's also nice that you can choose between different levels. I would like to have a better hint what the rules of the shapes are when hovering over them.

very appealing style, liked the concept/story and wouldve loved some audio, nice work

I really liked the game with it’s simplistic art style and concept. What this game needs is a bit of music and a bit less text but all in all, Well Done!

Super fun. The graphics are very pretty, the gameplay loop is satisfying,  the story was a nice touch. My only critiques would be to add a function to skip dialogue (when retrying a level) and to probably add a pity system to the dice rng (I lost 50 health to ten very unlucky rolls in a row).

On the polish side of things, looks good! Adding a bit more punchiness/juice would be good but the game feels really good as-is!
