This was fun! I liked the concept of rolling for a stat to determine my choices. I did have a lot of times when I rolled doubles--not sure if that was just me or if there's something off in the RNG. You wrote a nice variety of outcomes for each scenario. I didn't particularly care for the typing sound or the giant text, but that's purely aesthetic. Overall, great work!

Overall: a very fun, unique and original experience! I can see a lot of creativity, effort and dedication were put in this game. Great work, congratulations!
Really fun little game! I had a good time with this!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
Very interesting concept, I like the dice design a lot too. Not sure if it's really magical realism though, as it's all happening in the protagonists mind(? but it's a fun adventure! Congratulations :)
Thanks for the kind words. Yeah... I was going for like, magical dice in a normal world!
really cool ! Like the concept ! The audio fits well too ! Great job !
Very cool idea! Loved the twist at the end. Ran into one death, would have liked a restart button instead of it showing the death message over and over (and over and over) again. But it was interesting enough to try again, and I made it on the second try! It was pretty much impossible to know ahead of time whether a plan would work, which is fine in a game this short, but if you ever extend it, I would suggest checkpoints since there is an element of luck in the dice. :) The story was great, too, exactly the right length.
It shoot, that might've been a bug. The death message looping! I'll fix that.
Really cool concept! I think there was a small bug with the dice rolling - it only ever came up with the same symbol on both dice? They look great though, and it's satisfying to be able to actually throw them and watch them rattle around.
Yeah... technically it's possible to roll the the same value on both dice. It's all physics based.. at least for now! Thanks for playing!
