Before I go into what I thought of the game I just have to say I don't think it fits the theme at all. There are many random events in the game, but that's just rng and really has nothing to do with dice. That being said I completely forgot about the theme of the jam while playing the game as I liked it so much. I meant to just check out the game, play it for a couple of minutes and leave a review but ended up playing it for at least 40 minutes. The visuals and the soundscape are both wonderful and the gameplay was just the right mix of simplicity and complexity with the interactions of the different tiles. It's definitely a bit too easy though, as the negative events hardly ever take away enough population to offset the natural population growth of the better tiles. I couldn't quite figure out how the game worked at the start, but I liked finding out which tiles work well together and which don't. Many people probably wouldn't though, so a bit better of a tutorial would for sure make the game more approachable. Also thought I was doing something very wrong at the start as my score went into the negatives by quite a few thousands, but realized later that pico 8 has a 15-bit integer limit and I was just going over lol. Either way, if you plan on working on the game after the jam, I'll absolutely check it out! Cheers!
