Nice game, I liked the way the "health bar" was displayed for the dices, the game is a bit on the easy side, but it's always super difficult to balance a game during a gamejam haha, best music and sound effects so far and the art is nice too !

A Liar's DiceAt the beginning of the jam I also thought about making a tower defense but my idea wasnt good as this :D . Even though game breaks after sometime I enjoyed it very much. And SFX and music sounds to me like game is playing in a child's mind it reminded me my childhood. Good job.

Cursed Dice DungeonThe sfx and music made a very unique experience. The overall look and presentation of the game was really neat. Cool idea of throwing the dice to get a random tower. The biggest issue I see is the balancing of the game since it got really easy.I never really felt I had to be strategic or rethink where I throw the dice or what kind of tower I should use. Other then that great job! Would love too see more updates of the game :) //theheheo

The Slicing DiceThank you so much! Yeah, it was a bit challenging to balance T_T we ran into the issue of the first three dice sometimes would result in no kills, so I erred on the side of easy rather than impossible and maybe overcorrected a bit. I'm looking forward to updating the balance so maybe check back later!
p.s. ur game's pretty cool :D
LOL, those sfx and music is 10/10
cute little game. Everzthing worked perfectly. Just one suggestion, you should probably block certain places where to throw the dice. I could easily block the begging of the road pretty soon and then it's ggez

Live or DiceVery funny game. I enjoyed the sounds and music. The way of building turrets was also interesting. Sometimes the dice could roll pretty far. And the idea to have life described on dice was great. Changing sides of the dice to show the current health was great idea.

Live or DiceVery cute game, did you get your family in to help you on the sound effects because they are adorable!
I would say that the game needed a bit more expanding with maybe a couple levels and paths as well as being a bit too easy. Overall a good submission though :)

Dickie RollemExcellent work! Easy to pick up and play, and trying to manage which towers go where was fun. I noticed there was a variety of enemy types via their health - I think adding even more variety via their movement speed, colour, behaviour etc. would be a big benefit to the game
