Was this inspired by the 2022 GMTK game jam? It would have been impossible to complete this in time but this concept would have definitely gotten high ranks. Well done!
Very unique game idea! I love it. I would have liked a level system that starts simple and gets more complicated, once the dice start adding up together I get confused so I think a taste of that system before it starts getting too complicated can help get your player acclimated. Nice job!
This was super fun! Interesting implementation of the theme that has a nice effect on the gameplay. The difficulty ramps up pretty quickly but for an arcade style game like this I think it's great. Well done!
Very clever! Incredible that you were able to make this in such a short amount of time. I found it to be quite challenging and required a lot of thinking and concentration. My only feedback is that it tired me out pretty quickly because of all of the thinking required. If there were a way to make the game more simple it could help, all-in-all it's a great submission that looks very polished and professional!
I did try that idea but I found it to be too frustrating because the machine would never give me the drink I wanted. With only 3 slots it meant that you were spending money pouring lots of drinks that you had to throw away. I totally agree with you and wanted to add more complexity but I ran out of time but didn't want to be frustrate for the player. I really appreciate the honest feedback and yes this was my first submission ever and it was really hard hahaha. Thank you kyboon!
I totally agree that the visuals could have been improved. I made everything from scratch and did my best haha. Next time I need to work with an artist/animator for sure! Thank you for the feedback
This game is awesome. I love the idea of the mini-games in order to do damage. And the dice roll mechanic was cleverly implemented. The overall vibe and atmosphere also does a great job telling the story without having to do much. Well done! I hope you continue developing this even past the jam!
Very interesting and unique idea! I think my biggest point of feedback is that I didn't always know what side I was going to land on because I can't see all sides of the die. This makes it so that I can't properly plan how I want to approach the enemies. If there were a way to rotate the camera around the die so that I could see all sides I think it would help.
This game is GREAT I was 100% engaged the entire time and played until I beat it. It definitely hooked me and I would definitely play more levels. It reminded me of like a classic chess meets Fire Emblem and it works so well. Great job!
The art, animation, and overall presentation is phenomenal! I thought the combat felt smooth although I was also missing a lot of my shots with the bullet spread but I had a fun time playing. I will say it gets pretty difficult pretty fast, but I like that you had checkpoints instead of sending me back to the very beginning because I would have given up much sooner. I also liked how the dice would bounce off of walls, I thought that was a cool addition. But once you shoot your dice you are pretty defenseless until they come back or you pick them up, I think something like a dodge roll would be nice to help the player avoid taking damage while they rush to pick up their dice. Overall, a fun challenging game with incredible visuals.
Super fun and honestly a feat of engineering to get the dice rolling mechanics to randomize the world like that! My only feedback is that the game is super difficult lmao.
Great stuff! It's pretty difficult if I do say so myself hahaha but it's a lot of fun and pretty addictive. One of the few entries that I find myself actually wanting to come back and play more!
I will say the design and camera angle made it a bit of a challenge to see where you're going but I suppose that's part of the fun. I had a good time with this one well done!
Way too many tutorial pop ups for me, I did not read them after the 3rd or 4th pop up and still understood enough to play the game. I had a good time with it drawing cards and placing them down. I was able to win after like 3 turns which I find funny considering some of the comments of people getting stuck after multiple tries. Nice entry for GMTK!
Great game! Super fun and pretty challenging! Very well polished as well with all of the art, sfx, and music. I'm guessing this one will definitely make it to the GMTK video!
I really hope everyone saying "more levels" is giving you high ratings because this is a game jam submission and of course there is not enough time to design a bunch of levels. The concept is great, it's fun and interesting. My only critique is that I wish the font was something a more retro, it really would have tied everything together. Again, I'm sure you just ran out of time like I did with my submission but credit where credit is due great job.
I actually enjoyed the game a bit, the upgrades are plentiful and pretty diverse and interesting! The graphics are fun as well in their simplicity. I think the biggest issue for me is that the speed of the paddle is way too slow, I would have preferred if it were tied to my mouse position so that I could have more control, otherwise it feels as though you're being cheated by the snail-like speed of the paddle not being able to catch up to the falling die. I also don't understand how the slot numbering system works and why it's there? I can't seem to trigger any of the saved power-ups that I have. A quick explanation in the description could help. Also, you should add a score so that we can see how well we are doing!
