Dear lord the RNG go hates me.... took about five goes to beat level one XD
Otherwise really cool game and would be interested in a more developed version!

How does your game fit the theme?
Count down to 0 from a goal each round by tallying dice
This was really really cool. I'm a big fan of these sorta games and the stylisation of the art is next level!! I also want to compliment the audio & the creativity of your idea.
I'd like to point out one minor issue I had which was that on the end of round screen, I couldn't find the 'continue' button for ages lol. It just blends into the background a little bit.
I love the art style and the game atmosphere! Unfortunately, having the core mechanic decided mostly by luck is a bummer when you get a bunch of bad rolls in a row, but it's a game jam entry after all. :) It's crazy how polished the game feels for 4 days of work.
I like the dithered art style. The banking mechanic is nice, but it's not enough to come back from rolling two 1s in a row. It feels like whether you pass or fail is almost completely determined by luck. I think it'd be cool if you get bonus money for reaching the goal number exactly without going over.
the aesthetic vibe of this game is so rad, and the gameplay is deceptively simple until you get that 1 that ruins the whole thing :')) also loved the art on the lil cards like the lil cat
This is so addicting, like Balatro with but with a dice slot machine. Love the palette, love the art, love the gameplay. Upgrades are fun and clever. Little hard to get going, a few unlucky 1s can be devastating haha. Would be cool to flip all 3 cards in the shop for a little more choice, and I felt I should get +1 coin for each left over attempt :)
I can easily see this ending up with a steam release, amazing job!
Really cool game, I wish there would be some way to prevent the sheer unluckiness of just rolling a lot of 1's in one round, but otherwise its crazy good and fun! You managed to get quite a lot of content in!
help i cant stop gambling with my soul. the way my heart just leapt in my chest when i got 2 1's in a row.... also that 2x multiplier was life changing. the continue button was a little hard to find lol, extremely minor issue though.
This game is so addictive, once I figured out what was going on I was hooked. The art and music fit together so well, absolutely gorgeous game. I got so wealthy until my hubris got to me. Super impressive for only 4 days, really feels like a complete experience. Great work!!!
This is a very interesting game concept and the art looks honestly amazing, though it can get overwhelming at some points. The only pain factors were that the UI was not always understandable, and since the game is so super up to luck, I got frustrated very quickly (though it made me want to retry a few times as well)
I really enjoyed the flow as I accumulated more and more points each roll, while also starting to feel the stress as I'm judging whether to bank. Especially on that last attempt! The aesthetic is delightful, the card theming is so cool and starting to get the exponential tally increase combos while facing dramatically higher tally opponents feels magical. Some concerns would be clarifying the UI (it took me like 5 mins to find that continue button + did I need exact tally or is overshooting OK), feeling more in control of the outcome using cards while improving the flow (when there's like 3 resets in a row which were completely out of my control), and allowing bosses change my strategy more directly (oh nooooo rolling odds is 1 less, not that I could control it anyways).
This game was a total vibe! I felt like I was dream state .. saw someone else compare to Balatro, and totally agree.
I wish I had more gold!
I really like the UI, and actually to me the font works beautifully. Finding the 2 and 5 inside the round list was almost like cracking a cryptographic key lol, I enjoyed that experience (maybe that wasn't the intended one)
This was such a nice and creative style, excellent excellent visual work and some great feedback as well (I LOVE the dice roll animation and the card designs, especially how the magician card is that pondering my orb meme). Some of the UI mostly just in the round end screen was just a little rough, maybe it's just my bad vision but I struggled to find the continue button the first time I played haha, but the game itself is very simple and fun and fits the theme quite well. Excellent work!!
I feel like gambling now...
