When I lock dice, they still reroll. I rolled a full house on the first roll, locked everything twice for the rerolls and ended up with garbarge. I have no idea what's going on in the second stage, as I get no feedback at all. You really need to work on conveying information to your player, as I have no idea if I even win a battle, what the consequences are, how running out of energy works, how training works, etc etc. Also I don't know what the dice are actually for in the second stage.\n\nI did like the setting though!

The art is totally cute. To be honest, I read the tutorial but was still not 100% sure but I relied on my intuitions since some elements were familiar from RPG games. My main problem was that I were not able to predict how the numbers were expected to change (e.g. how much score will be paid for items for example the first item with price 15 only costed me 10). However, it was fun to play .

It's a lot of scope to take on!  The chicken, with his gambling and training and fighting, was kind of a charming character.\n\nIf you were to expand on this in one area, I would say focus on the feedback.  Just simple stuff, like the game popping up the name of the poker hand I got and whether it was -50% or not.  And the impact of my training.  And whether I won or lost the fight.  Basically whenever an important variable changes, there can be some visual thing indicating \"oh boy look what YOU did, player!\"\n\nI definitely learned to get along without those, but they would totally up the game's feel.\n\nI went all-in offense, and I had to fight captain squid a few times (tho I wasn't sure if I won or lost my fights against him, they just ended).  I eventually realized OH I should go shopping!  By then I had huge monies and bought lots of upgrade and wiped the floor with him.

The graphics were pretty nice. It's too bad most of the graphics were static. I saw some \"shaking' during the fighting phases that was good.\n\nAs most people already said, the game is kind of confusing. I still couldn't figure what to do to get a good dice score. A way to make it clear (but that would have required some extra work) would have been during the sleeping\/waking-up phase to have the break down of the score you would get. (For example, let's say you currently have a 1, 1, 3, 4 and 4, the game would write two lines : \"pair of 1 : 5 points\" and \"pair of 4 : 20 points\")\n\nAnd currently, the dice rolls don't seem so important (correct me if I'm mistaken, but you can just spend twice as much days without locking any dice and get the same final result). To make the dice roll more meaningful, I would have used it in something other than a cumulative \"score\" and have it intervene somewhere else. You could have called it \"motivation\" or something, make it an experience\/fighting parameter, and it gets reset every day. Meaning you have to get a good dice roll if you want to train and\/or win the fights. If it's the experience points you gain per training, or damage per hit, someone rolling the dices randomly would take a lot more time. (That would have made the mechanic not ignorable.) Of course you would have to carefully balance it to not make the game cleared in one go with a lucky roll.\n\nI also couldn't understand the battles completely. I saw they were a lot of cool effects (block, poison, stun...) but they were never decisive to win. Combined with the fact that the shop is king of hidden (at least for me I only started looking near the end), I'm sure a lot of people missed it out.\n\nOne way to simply correct this and show the player there's a shop: remove the \"attack\" capacity, and have it purchasable. After having some draws with the sign post the player will understand something is missing and TADAAAAH he finds the shop.\n\nFinal remark: it wasn't always very obvious that you won or lost a fight. A \"you won\", \"you lost\", or \"draw\" with a continue button would have helped made it clearer.\n\nAnyway, great job, and sorry if I seemed very picky, it's just I'm focusing on the little things so you can improve.\nI look forward to your next Ludum Dare contribution!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"maymakegame","author_uid":1084331,"time":"2018-05-13T17:53:39Z","epoch":1526234019,"modified":1526234019,"text":"First off, thanks for playing my game!
