Really awesome game but too short ! I loved both the gameplay and the artstyle, I played multiple games and I found the following bugs/missing features: 

- during the planning phase it is not possible to remove a die once placed when you misclick. if I place another die on top of it it seems that it replace it but actually I think there is a bug and it stacks them instead (later during the game it shows the previous die when hovered and the damages are mysteriously increased, which could be explained by the stacking of the previous die)

- sometimes I could cast spells even though I had enough mana, somtimes I could when I had not (the mana became negative)

- spells do not kill dice, it reduce the hp and if the die goes in the negative it can still attack and is removed only at the end of the turn

fro the balancing 2x shield bearer/knight + swap with berserk in the back is OP.  Archer and heal feel very weak (the mass heal is OK but the heal die is worthless, it heals very little and with low probability, it should either have higher probability or fully heal)

Also i didn't understand how the tools work

Anyways great game, even more impressive when you realized it was made in 4 days !

awesome, really amazing, unfortunately it froze on the beginning of second run

Developer

Thanks! Do you know what the last action you did was before the crash

Developer

I know it is almost a year later, but the game now has a demo on Steam that shouldn't crash!

Wow! It took me a while to understand the game, but once I did I was invested! The gameplay is really solid, just needs some more juice and cleaner explanations or a tutorial, and some long term motivation. Very good for a game jam!
