Hey thanks for playing and thanks for taking the time on an amazing review! We will be continuing work on this project so this is great stuff! Seeing you took a significant amount of effort on this review, I think its fair to do the same with my response!

1. I totally agree with your point on this. Sound effects will help both with feedback and user satisfaction. We will certainty be adding it.
2. I've seen this complaint a couple of times. I statically set the resolution for Itch.io (which in hindsight was a bad call). So I think a solution of increasing the font size and making it more scalable will fix this.
3. 
   
   1. This was one of those unfortunate time constraint things. This was at the top of our list to develop next, but simply ran out of time. It feels bad because it makes the reward system feel very meaningless in it's current state.
   2. There was a couple status effects you could apply to the enemy. Though, your callout is still valid because you have no way of knowing which rune you were picking for a reward. This certainty needs to be fixed!
4. Hmm this is a going point. I don't think we did implement any of these so thanks for the suggestion! We will look into this one.
5. This is unfortunately due to the bad UI for the rewards system. These are actually different dice with different faces. Of course, you would have no way of knowing this in the current state of things. The die faces also show up in a tooltip if you over the dice in the tube next to the energy indicator... again, it should be more visible. This needs to change (both in displaying dice in combat and rewards). Though, I think presenting this may be challenging, since it's a 3D object. I could just simply show each face side by side, but that feels like maybe not the best option. Any thoughts here?

Thanks again for the great feedback!

Thanks! Our team will be continuing the project! :)

Hey thanks for playing man! I appreciate the compliments, though I think we scoped too much, which leads into your complaint on the mechanics - which I agree. 

The mechanics do need a lot of work - audio feedback, more animations, and just an overall better UI/UX. But your callout is interesting, I have not got that specific feedback yet. I think you are right, the dice shouldn't just disappear. Do you have any thoughts on how to improve this part? Maybe an animation for the dice going away or something?

Thanks for playing! Yeah I agree with your points. We need to get better effects (should have done more play testing). More animations and probably some audio feedback would go a long way too!

Ah yeah the interface needs more polishing, its hard to follow in it's current state. Thanks for playing!

This is amazing feedback! Yeah it really is too bad you cant see the descriptions of the rewards - we had every intention of doing so, but ran out of time... if we just had one more hour to work on it! Sorry you encountered so many bugs.

Thanks so much for the feedback on the build compression. I will admit, I just tinkered with it until it works, so thanks for teaching me something new! Our team will be continuing the project (probably starting from scratch - the code base got out of hand) so this information will for sure come in handy.

Thanks for playing, and thanks for taking the time to give such solid and detailed feedback!

Thanks! Good suggestions. I agree, I doesn't fit the theme very well - we were going to make it more story based but ran out of time

Thanks for playing! Both your points are very valid, thanks for reviewing it!

Thanks for the review! :)

Haha! Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you liked it! In hindsight, it was far too ambitious... but since were continuing work on it, we're mostly viewing this as a soft prototype. We be sure to update you as the game progresses!

Thanks for playing. Sound effects are needed for sure! 

Thanks for playing! Yeah you are right, we ran out of time.. submitted with 22 seconds left! But I agree sound and hurt animations would make it feel way more polished

Thanks for the feedback! And totally agree, fair point

Thanks for playing! We've been hearing that bug from multiple people, so sorry you are experiencing that! 

Thanks for playing! Totally agree

Thanks for playing! And good point! We actually did have a click system where dice would swap like you describe, but we switched it to drag and drop and adding the swap feature was a lower priority. But the good news is our team is going to continue working on the project. So it will be more polished for sure!

Thanks for playing and good points! There was a heal rune, but it wasnt obvious. With more time, we'd like to make a better UI

Great point! Im hoping to add sound too it as we are continuing work. I will for sure take a look at your game!

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah if we had more time, I would have loved to make a tutorial, we'll be adding feedback animations too as we continue to work on it!

Hey thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked it! We are for sure continuing this project so we will absolutely add a tutorial!

Hey man that's alright! Turn-based strategy games are pretty niche, especially with dice. But thanks for playing anyway!

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Bummer you couldn't hear the background music, we set the volume too low... Should have made a settings menu!

Thanks for the feedback and glad you liked it! The complaint is a valid one, and we're going to continue working on the game!

Thanks! Our team is planning on continuing the project!

Thanks!

Thanks for the response! Yeah we ran out of time to make a solid UI/UX. But yes, our team is continuing work on the project so we are viewing this mostly as a prototype

Thanks for playing! You make good points

Loved every second of it. Please put this on the app store

Bummer on the game breaking for you :( But thanks a ton for the review, glad you had fun!
