Ranked from 12 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.
If you have implemented the modifier, how have you done so?
You "hit the button" each turn as your only action.
Any additional information for voters?
This is a tabletop game, but it's solo and uses normal dice. Murder Soda can be replaced with w/e you want (ie. water)

The Roll options and characters are beautifully bad, some hideous graphic representations/pictures of the characters would be a great addition, for the full immersion.
Hadn't even accoured to be that a set of boardgame rules could be a submission for a gamejam, really good idea.
All the descriptions are really silly and some of the individual dice roll moves interesting. I actually think the mechanic of rolling 5 die at once is actually a brilliant idea, and quite a unique way to use the modifier. A fun game you can play by yourself!
My friend Adira ( https://adira.itch.io/ ) gave me the idea with a game she's working on. I adapted it to single player, but I can't take all the credit. Excited to play your game btw!
I guess this game would probably work better if there was another player playing as the Demon King (or alternatively having the characters targeted when the demon king rolls a 4 be determined by some other dice rolls instead of letting the player choose who gets hit), and I guess that it might be worth giving the demon king a different thing to do upon rolling a 6 if the Murder Soda is already gone/being destroyed. And the Knife Lady's 'make the demon king re-roll' did sometimes make it a bit harder to keep track of everything (especially when using a pen instead of a pencil because, y'know, re-resolving the Demon King's new attack)
But, besides those minor nitpicks, this was a pretty fun game. Was it 'so bad it's good' though? Not sure. But it was good.
Thanks for the constructive crits. It's really important to me this is a 1 player game as I'm trying to make more of those. That said adding something after a 6 is rolled would be good. Maybe a rage style attack? The Knife Lady could be clarified more - maybe specifying that she always goes first or something like that? Anyway, thanks for your opinion! If I get around to doing edits I'll make sure to add your suggestions in.
Great game but how do I download the beverage to drink?
It's separate DLC - sorry friend :P
Fabulous bad game
Thanks so much!
I remember your tabletop entry from last year, and much like last year uuuuuhhh I didn't actually play this. BUT the rules and character descriptions seem pretty funny. And that title image is a work of art. Sorry for the barebones feedback but tabletop games have never been my scene.
This does seem like it would be a fun drinking game though, so maybe if I have time I'll come back to it this weekend!
Yeah its definitely a drinking game lmao. Thanks for much for the compliments! I like using this Jam to experiment with game mechanics in a cozy setting. Its super nice to get comments since this is really a VG jam.
Oh I agree this jam is perfect for experimenting with ideas, don't have to worry about polishing them too much!
And no problem, I like to give written feedback for any game I rate and let devs know what I actually think rather than just assign a number to it.
