Okay, Best use of the limit by FAR, seeing Die as a litteral Dice is genius, and I love games like this so much!
This is one of those jam games that I play and it lights my brain on fire for ways it could expand into a full fledged game. Could work as a deck building roguelike in many ways. Something that comes to mind, is getting or upgrading actions. So you can choose to make your attack, d + d, rather then just d. Or maybe you can choose to get a heal action instead, your attack is still just d, but you also put a d in healing (maybe a heal action could be d - 3 clamped above -1). Just thoughts like that.
Some notes that I think are a bit obvious is the game feels very static, the characters don't move or anything, dont think there was damage numbers or such either. I would love to see a bit more movement, not much, just something subtle to keep the eyes entertained.
I was a bit sad when I realized Dice are consumed on use, but this was ultimatly not a bad thing I think, made me want to save dice for future rounds and all that, I suppose I just wish I had more dice to get messy with haha.
Overall really fantastic work!

Meatballs > Cookies >:3
Wow, thank you so much for the kind and detailed review! 😅I really appreciate the feedback given, and the most important point, yes, meatballs are better than cookies. Anyways, yes, the game definitely feels static as you say, but I was a bit stuck for time, I guess. Thanks again for your kind words!
This is really cool! I like the gambler's dice because in theory it's about a constant 5 dice if you average it out, but it has the opportunity to do wild things.
Thanks so much for playing 😁 Yeah I had a lot of fun making all the dice!
Very nicely done
no lies were told — everything can… die. it’s fun to experiment and figure out mechanics for yourself, though I do think some kind of tooltip or explanation of the behavior of the different dice would have been good. this game is already fun and I can see that it has a lot of potential. great job.
Smart interpretation, really like the concept and it's pretty fun in general!
Thank you! I was really excited to share my interpretation, so I'm glad people like it! 😅
Wow! What a nice interpritation of limitation. Good job!
Nice little game!
Enjoyed the music.
I Like dice game too. i was reading books where you are the hero and you needed dices.
Well done, small, but complex game. Enjoyed the music aswell
it looks very well done, and the characters have a lot of charisma (It reminded me a bit of paper mario, so for me with that it already has many points in its favor :D); but it was hard for me to understand the mechanics of the dice.
Thank you for the comment! What is it that is difficult to understand 🤔
really like how you used the limitation. super creative!!
It looks good, but I don't fully understand how to play. I placed my free die on my HP and it didn't do anything. Good concept though!
Thank you! Hm, most people don't understand how to play, I guess I assumed it easy to understand after being making it so long. Thanks again for the comment!
The small diamond icon is the slot just incase that's not ehat you pressed?
