Very fun! I liked the mental challenge here with each mechanic you created. It reminded me of playing Dicey Dungeons. Cool execution and strong concept

definitely one of my inspirations. glad you had fun

Fun concept! I like the strategic depth in planning your dice values ahead.

It took until my second play to realize the dice were disappearing because they counted down to 0. Is there a way to get them back?

Developer

I definitely should have explained that. No there’s no way to get the die back. I should probably have added some way to get it back maybe after a few rounds

The dice roll sound is quite  satisfying and having multiple tasks to complete kept the game interesting. Overall a great game.

Developer

thank you

Fun game! I didn't actually get that the dice values counted down when you ended your turn on my first playthrough, but that's a really clever use of the theme! My only complaint was that I was confused at the start as to what the different things required. It felt like the dice on the little bar had to ADD up to seven, instead of being AT LEAST seven, for example, and it wasn't super clear that you only had to have two of the dice on the left hand machine matching, I thought there was a bug that made it unbeatable 😭. Clarity aside, this was a really fun play!

I love me a good dice game. The RNG was rough for me as I rolled the same number 7 times in a row

Developer (1 edit)

yeah i definitely should have made things like that impossible.

Good visuals and polish. Didn't get what's the ending.

Great game! I love the overall vibe of the simple and clean art style along with the very smooth music. The puzzle mechanic is certainly creative and let on more depth/interest than I initially thought.

Hitting the number on the middle module exactly created some weird behavior I didn't quite understand (Like going from a 7/7 round it would display 7/8 but then adding a 4 would set it to 3/8 instead of overflowing or setting it to 4/8)? 

Overall though, it was a lot of fun just playing around and figuring out the optimal play to survive without losing dice.

thanks for playing :) i noticed that after submission closed i think it becomes -1 not sure why.
