Weird gameplay and really confusing.

Thanks for playing and I'm sorry it was not understandable. I can definitely understand where you are coming from. We had to rush the aesthetics and UI, so it is not very easy to understand without reading up the Description Page. There are also an occasional random bug that happens and you cannot progress and need to Reload the page- you might have even encountered this.
If your willing to give it another go, here is the short rundown - the longer HOW TO PLAY on the game page goes into more detail.
At it's core, the game is a Turn Based Battle System (e.g. Pokemon, Final Fantasy). Each Turn has 3 phases:
1. The game rolls some dice for you
2. You then can:
- Click on the Dice and then the Fire to get rid of that Dice; and/or
- Click on a Skill Tree Node and then the appropriate Dice (which will highlight) to Spend the Dice to Buy the Skill. Unfortunately you have to Mouse Over to see what each node does and what it needs :( The requirements are straight out of Poker/Yahtzee. Singles = 1 dice, Doubles = 2 dice of same value, Triple/4 of a Kind/5 of a Kind, Full House = A double and a Triple (e.g. 2-2-5-5-5), or Straight (1-2-3-4-5 or 2-3-4-5-6).
3. Lastly, Click the Attack Button or Buy an Action Node (Yellow with Attack Description) to do and Attack and End the Turn.
The enemy does the same thing as you, back and forth, until someone is Dead. Damage Dealt is equal to your ATK - their DEF.
