This entry seemed really well polished, and I liked the atmosphere created by the art and the audio. I wish that the game had explained what some of the modifiers did before I picked new dice though, as I initially didn't understand what "Ivory" or "Spirit" were supposed to mean. Overall, good job, especially as a solo developer!

i really appreciated the effort that went into the main menu. the polish was clear from the beginning and persisted into the game. with some games, you can just tell they're going to be great from the beginning and this was definitely one of them! 

This is a very impressive dice rolling fighter with some well thought out modifiers on the dice - I especially love the steel face that makes the other side more likely to come up, having to think about the balance of your dice is really cool!

My only criticisms were that there should be a way to see what the modifiers will do to a die before you choose them - just some help text on both the choice screen, and on the slot (to remind players) would've gone a long way.

Great work!

I liked the gameplay and the vibe of the game, without music, the whole game feels eerie and silent, like you are super hyper focus until to the point where you can't hear anything, you only have eyes on your dice and the monster infront. Although I managed to reach to the Christmas tree, alas no six come out lol.

Btw I think either you can hook up the roll button to a key or make it obvious by either arranging the UI around or use audio to tell the player it's their turn. Also, try to make the countdown of the heart more obvious, need to squint my eyes a few time to see the countdown. But, overall the game was very polished and well made! I could totally see this on steam ngl.

Really underrated game in terms of the jam, i can easily see how this could be expanded upon whilst still being entirely complete as it is, this guy knows ball.

Also I think it'd be neat if you could choose which dice to target rather than damaging the highest dice to allow the player to risk wasting their high roll to play lower dice to refresh stuff, or proc lower value special dice.

Interesting game with pretty cool mechanic. I managed to get pass the Christmas tree but I guess I died to the last boss (the log showed 6/7) since I didn’t roll enough 6 which I guess is partial luck and partially wasn’t able to upgrade the dice that much.

Pretty cool atmosphere too, though the game is quite tiny on my screen (mine is 4K) so it is a bit hard to see things. (The menu was full screen but the gameplay screen is tiny) Great work

Did you just feel like making dicey dungeons into a horror game? I feel like with more polish and content this could easily work as a steam game! My only complaint is that putting a 6 in the screwdriver didn't result in me getting an extra "1" dice

Wow what a wonderful game, the style is so good and the vibes from the menu all the way to the gameplay is spot on for what you're going for! The game itself was also really fun and enjoyable, would love to see this developed further!

Not my usual cup of tea, but I found it very cool. I love the polished animations, and the limited color pallete. Fun to play, and unlocking new upgrades is satisfying 

Incredibly fun game and the art style is just perfect for this type of game. Amazing use of the theme as well.

Very fun gameplay wise, you could seriously expand this into a full game on itch. My only gripe is that hovering various tools (like ivory, or sparkle) doesn't state what it does. All good tho, very nice art and atmosphere!

Really cool game. A little bit hard to get by at the beginning. But it makes more sense after progressing a little while.

Really cool although I had some problems after the wave with two porcupines and a racoon (I think thats what they are?) Relates to the theme in an innovative way. audio was a bit repetitive but fit the theming well. Top tier artwork, I do not know if the narrative is expanded on later but the introduction was nice. Great game 👍

Absolutely, the most criminally underrated game in the entire jam. 
Not only are the sprites amazing, but everything from UI, sound effects, overall gameplay and depth, and STORY all feel very cohesive and do a lot for overall storytelling. This game deserves top 10 in narrative, in my opinion. And all this in 4 days? The developer clearly put a lot of effort into this.

Both art and gameplay feel incredibly unique and different in a jam full of games that revolve around a few concepts.

I would talk more about the game, but I implore anyone reading this to download it and try it out yourself. It's the very definition of a hidden gem. 

Doesnt fully occupy the screen on 4k monitor, enjoyed it though, feels very very well polished and fun, throwing dice is very satisfying.

Nice game, background music fits the atmostphere, really cool concept. However, could be helped by a tutorial explaining how all the different dice faces work

really cool game, top tier audio design, very satisfying sounds. cool visuals.
would be nice if there was hints to what "spark" is or "steel" is, or turning face into "spirit" is. 

This was a really cool game, figuring out things was kinda rough tho

Great work. The art style is beautiful. Really hits that "atmosphere" vibe I crave. Feels good to interact with too. Quick to get used to and there's definitely a hook to keep me engaged.

Awesome game ! you should definetly make it a full game, a lot of people could enjoy it like me !
