• Great work, it's really well made and presented, and a lot of fun! Really unique concept, I don't think I've seen a word puzzle with dice before!
• Great entry! I like that you have taken your time polishing it, because it shows. The splash and the title screens are very nice! It's a shame that the manual is outside of the game and that there are no clues about how to play it in-game. I whish you keep working on it, because with more work I think it could become a great game.
• The game is nice once you understand how to play it, but it really needs an in-game tutorial.
• Great little Balatro-like here with a fun progression system - lots of polish, with smooth menu interactions (including some 3D!) and helpful in-game UI; audio and sound effects are also fitting. To get to the next level of polish, an interactive tutorial instead of a manual PDF would've been nice. It's the sign of a great entry that I feel obliged to nitpick, but at a certain stage of upgrades, the levels also become trivially easy to beat in a couple of moves - for a full version, more challenges might be needed later on to keep the rougelike tension going. Great job overall!
• The presentation is stellar, the soft 3D cubes give the game so much character. I enjoyed the basic premise, but the UI was quite unintuitive and took some getting used to; it's hard to get by without the manual. In the early stages, I found the amount of choice a bit overwhelming, as most of the upgrades generally didn't translate to more strategic decisions - either you can use a letter or you can't. When you get access to wildcards (grey/black) and high-mobility options (the queen and jester) the game really opens up and becomes too easy, but it's fun to break it! A small communication thing that might help a lot is to display all the bonuses activated, e.g. as text that pops up when the word is being scored.
