Thank you so much for playing and for the wonderful feedback! Glad you had fun! :) Yeah I agree the controls are a bit awkward and constricting at first. Just out of curiosity...Did you use the dice bank at the bottom of the screen to hold dice? Or the reroll/pickup buttons on the HUD? Did you use Space/Middle-Mouse to select all dice to attack? All those mechanics combined should make the dice management feel much better if you weren't using them before. I wish I had put more effort into the tutorial because there is quite a learning curve to mastering all the controls. Thanks again! I loved playing your game as well! The best dice/RNG games in this jam are definitely the ones that allow the player to respond to the RNG as you said.

I used click & drag to make multiple dice attack at once, but getting a good attack trajectory was difficult, especially because the drag distance and direction affected power, so it felt awkward to attack with multiple dice sometimes.
I tried incorporating the bank into moving multiple dice, but it didn't quite click for my brain. Might have needed more time or practice, but it felt like just one too many things to handle (for me, personally). I ended up using the bank to hold 1s I wanted to keep until I either needed the extra firepower or rolled enough 1s to trade in.
