Barely squeezed into the top 20 haha (Probably won't last long) I think the tutorial was pretty good, though having a back button would have been a nice quality of life feature. Interesting mechanics and pretty straightforward once I got my bearings. Well done!
Thank you for playing! the tutorial was something tricky to do to make it understandable to everyone, would have loved to make it a playable tutorial but didn't had enough time. Thanks for the feedback!
A very unique game with amazing pixel-art! The game is flawless in my books except the tutorial design, I think the tutorial was rushed in some regards; I prefer step by step tutorials where we act as you explain (maybe it's just me?). The information overhaul is not to my liking, of course you can re-visit the tutorial with your design, just a difference of opinion perhaps. Apart from that, I don't have any issues, well done!
Thank you for playing! The tutorial was rushed indeed, I couldn't find a way on making it easier on the last hours that I had before submission. Thanks for the feedback!
It’s simple but cleverly designed, I really liked it.
Thank you for playing!
Really addictive game.
I feel the 405+ is a bit harsh and too luck based (which might be the point)
I think eating the cookie can feed to a larger gambling loop.
The UI and tutorial is really well done.
One feedback on the tutorial is to specifically have maybe even a darker overlay just on the text because it was a bit hard to read, you could also make the tutorial overlay darker but then it would make UI elements hard to see.
Congrats on creating a really addictive loop, I think this one is a good candidate that could release soon.
Thank you for playing! I've gotta say that the tutorial was the hardest thing to think about on how to manage to get people to understand the rules, and thanks for the feedback! really appreciate it
Solid game, nice in overall, I enjoyed it!
Thank you for playing!
Cool game, loved the different upgrades that one needs to choose from. But I am out of luck.
Thank you for playing!
I gambled my way to 15th on the leaderboards! I will say, there's a lot of luck involved to get a good run off, but I certainly had a good time.
Thank you for playing! and congratz on getting to the leaderboard
haha fun little game. Kinda addictive! thanks for this
Thank you for playing!!
Really fun little game. I even got to 16. place! Good job! :)
Thank you for playing! congratz
A very robust dice game. Great work!
Thank you for playing!
This is a nice game with a cool approach to the theme. I am so unlucky though, sometimes I was losing even before I got get my 2nd upgrade :(
Thank you for playing! Indeed the start is a bit hard to get lucky
Like your very detailed tutorial and intuitive interface. Not my genre, but it is fine. Nice work!
Thank you for playing!
Love rolling the dice in this game! Btw how did someone get 'infinite' ? That awesome, I make most 1k……
Thank you for playing! Its just a number before it gets to big, it was the best way to manage it for the fort period of time that I had.
It froze before I could get infinite cookies ;-;
Addicting little experience though, glad you could sneak this in before the deadline. From one dice game to another, great work!
You had that! sadly the leaderboard accept int as score, so the best solution I could find on the last couple of hours before uploading it was to make it infinite if the number is bigger than the max int allowed (the current amount of cookies was a float), and for the sake of the jam obviously, congratz! Thank you for playing, and thank you for breaking the game! Would love to balance it a bit more for a final release.
That was good! Straightforward, well explained and engaging. 👍
Thank you for playing! glad that you understood the tutorial, it was a bit hard to explain as simple as possible
This was a pretty fun game. Really simple mechanics and choices but kept me wanting to keep trying for infinite cookies (I couldn't get there though).
Games of chance like this are quite hard to get right with only a few days of balancing, and I feel like there could be a lot more tweaking of the upgrade cost scaling, number of allowed re-rolls, chance of getting a bad upgrade and also giving the player more options each round so that they're in more control of their risk management. This would make each roll feel more exciting and the player feel really good about their choice.
But again, what you've made in a few days is a really great game and take on the theme. Well done!
Thank you for playing! Indeed, the balance was something I didn't have enough time to tweak, I've gave it to a couple of friends but they were focusing on getting cookies instead of trying to focus on what it could be better haha.
Also I wanted to make some animations at least for when throwing the dice, rolling and upgrading, feeling a bit more alive, but since doing the art takes more time than coding for me it was really challenging.
This was the UI on Saturday before rushing to make the art while polishing the mechanics
Honestly, seeing the state of your game on the Saturday has inspired me to spend more time on mechanics rather than art. You managed to create something pretty engaging by just rolling dice! I spent a bit too much time on our game's art and atmosphere, and in the end didn't make a very captivating experience :)
Interesting idea getting your arsenal of dice + luck set up in order to make it deep into the doubling process. I feel like the early game is a bit unfair as there is very little you can do to prevent bad rolls and any loss in HP early on takes away a lot of wiggle room in the middle game. Once you're stabilized, however, it feels like the player has a lot more agency. I found that I was way too reliant on just the luck and dice stats and that I needed to pad my life a little more often to guard against a random debuff.
Good stuff! I also can't help but notice that submission time; congrats for making it in. I also submitted with <10 minutes to spare for the "risk it for the biscuit" metagame.
Thank you for playing! As I said on other comments I wish I had more time and friends to play test the game and properly balance the variables, any feedback is welcome!
And never stop to think about how risky it was hahahah
Really amazing 1-man game, would have loved to have had a little bit more agency than two sustain options to select from. I felt like the expression to luck ratio could do with some adjusting. Had fun with this, just don't think I'll be joining the infinity club anytime soon.
Thank you for playing! I wish I had more time and friends to play test the game and properly balance the variables, any feedback is welcome!
Really awesome game, I think I'm maybe the most unlucky person alive though XD
Thank you for playing! It happens haha.
Simple game, But great execution. minimalistic plain, fun, 9/10 .
Thank you for playing!
