I love merge games! ❤️
Great sound design and a really cool mechanic with the dice.
I was thinking about what could be improved. Please don't take this as criticism, I am just sharing my thoughts:
1. Right now the CHIPS calculation is linear. I think it would feel way better if it used an Easing curve with the sound pitch going up.
2. The most pairs I managed to get was 4, with dice still left on the board. I think it would be awesome if players had a chance to fully clear the board.
3. I noticed that merging certain dice gives extra coins, but the reward happens almost unnoticed, and the coin counter only updates after the round ends. A bit more visual feedback would really motivate players to target those specific dice.
Also, I caught a couple of minor bugs:
1. When buying the Sticker upgrade, it asked me to make a choice, but the cursor passes right through the UI elements. If there is an upgrade underneath, the choice does not register.
2. In the upgrade menu, the frame showing the current and next dice peeks through.
Still, I really loved the overall concept! Add more content, polish it up, and you have got a full Steam game on your hands. 🔥
Got hooked hard on this one! Great job!
Mix Rune Dice and Balatro. I like it!
Two of my favourite games recently!!
When I saw this game, I wondered if it was made with Defold; it looks really good. It reminded me of Balatro, but with its own unique mechanics.
It’s heavily inspired by Rune Dice, another fun dice based game. But yes, I’m impressed how capable Defold is in making such games, will definitely consider making more games on it moving forward.
That was really fun and unique! The sound and graphics were very satisfying and smooth.

Thank you! I’m very proud of how this game jam game turned out, I’m excited to keep improving on it!
Very satisfying mechanic to see the dice jump around the table and morph into eachother :)
Thank you, I enjoy seeing the dice jumping from a single good throw!
Did you make it with an update just 12 seconds before the deadline? That's cutting it close! You launch a die and set off chain reactions by connecting dice of the same color to build combos. I understood how to play right away, and I think it fits this jam's theme well. There are a few display glitches, but I couldn't fix all the bugs in my own game either, so I totally get it.
I was sweating hard and my internet connection was certainly not helping lolol and thanks for pointing that out, those bugs are ironed out in the Wavedash build and will be updated on itch after voting is done!
Feel free to play on WD!
