Hi! Wanted to stream the game today but new PC arrived earlier than expected so couldn’t.

Notes while playing: oh a wall of text for instructions, TL;DR

Good art

Ok, I put swords on sword and it attacked.

Can I not reroll dice? What is my agency as a player then? I think the game could play itself automatically round after round like a yolo casino dice autobattler. Ey, there’s a concept in that. (But probably already done tbh).

Oh ok so you need to swords to attack once.

The theme is a bit shoehorned I think.

Good sounds btw. No music though.

Hm you can interrupt the dice upgrade animation coming back in “hand”, so I accidentally upgraded twice in a row.

Hmmm all my dice are swords on the upgrade screen but it upgraded the heal anyway?

Ah so when the monster is upgraded, I need more dice to do actions if I understand correctly. The theme is less shoe-horned now.

Unusual that defense/block stays between rounds, but fits the difficulty/design of this one better that way.

Lost final battle - boss had 6hp left. I didn’t think very much about upgrading, probably should have upgraded less (I just kept upgrading until I got to ~40% failure). Haven’t really thought about it mathematically, but I think the skull downgrade is huge in impact compared to the upgrades.

Anyway solid entry, go make that Balatro-dice-autobattler I was talking about and good luck on winning the IRL casino of random indie millionaires.

I made it to the last stage before being slain!  I think I had some bad luck with my dice upgrades at the end, unfortunately.  I enjoyed the game loop once I understood what was going on.  Nice dice game :)

I died with the final form having only 1 HP left, but I managed to continue playing and won (?) Hahahaha. Also, I found a small bug where if you place two dice next to each other, they will both be 'picked up' when clicked. Apart from that, great game, congrats! Super fun to play and with nice art and SFX.
