The game is very satisfying, but hard to understand what exactly is going on. You just see numbers go brrr. I understood quickly enough that you have a TFT kind of stars system for same dice to level them up. It took me a long while to understand though that there are limited turns and the score threshold goes up which let's you have more turns. Definitely can improve on player feedback part. Great submission!

It was very satisfying to watch the points be calculated every time I rolled but I felt like (and I guess it is) everything was random. I'd love to hear about strategy if there is any.

Why did I do it? I would answer if I knew myself :sweat_smile:

Nice graphics ! I like the fact that you actually really check the numbers on physicals dies !
Well done ! :)

Big number go vroom! A fun little game, but the groove did start to wear on me after a while. Could have used a little more variance, but given the time frame not a big flaw. The game looks lovely, and as the person above has said checking physical die numbers is a big plus. I think more visibility on how the AI was doing, what dice it had bought or just a little animation of it rolling the dice would have been a nice touch. Ultimately, a fun little game that I happily played for around 10 minutes. Good job!

I nice suck in the end xD

Simple idea, I don't understand principles, but I think that some dices can be upgrade if I buy same.
