Use of the limitation
Grey cursed dice are forced into the player's dice pool as they progress. These cursed dice have zero or negative values, corrupting the player's rolls and sabotaging their damage calculations — everything literally goes wrong the further you get.

Entertaining game loop. Enjoyable music. Very loosely tied to theme and the limitation. 

I'd say if the cursed die are the hook of your game, have them in each deck with different qualities. 

Developer

Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed the loop and music. You're right about the theme—I drifted a bit. I love your cursed die idea; adding different qualities to each deck is a brilliant way to strengthen the hook!

Very impressive you made this in 3 days, a good idea and impressive execution! Especially having a leaderboard.

Developer

Thank you so much! Getting the leaderboard working in just 3 days was definitely a challenge, but I'm glad it paid off. I'll be sure to check out The Last Team soon!

I like how easy it is to drag dice to the area! Cool artwork!

Developer

Thank you! Making the controls feel easy and intuitive was a big goal for me, so that means a lot. Can't wait to try Western Railway Service!

Overall, it’s a great game for passing the time. You can really feel the heart the developers put into everything, from the core concept to the art style. Looking at the leaderboard, there’s a really impressive player (something about a 'Yellow Robot'). My only gripe is that it can be a bit luck-dependent at times, which is frustrating when you lose. That said, the rush of rolling a high number is half the fun!
