Apr 24 19:46:37 Descendant ♥ 1 Lovely game! I like the concept a lot and it felt really clever, with the hints being well written in being clear enough but also a little bit mystic. Strong music too, and very impressive size of the game, as well as how complete it feels. Great job as usual :)
Apr 25 07:42:40 11h 56m Sea Dicegarden ♥ 1 I played without reading the info first, just how i like it :D The presentation is really nice, very pleasant. I'm always intrigued by nice animations where i want to find out what can happen if i do the right thing or progress. I missed sound or a bit of music, as usualy, but i can understand it :D Now the gameplay was quite obscure. I didn't have much choice for the first 15 or so runs, because i had exactly one more die than i needed. I didn't understand why i have different tanks - i thought they grow different plants, but it later got clear they didn't. I simply filled up all dice that i could, and let it grow. This also meant it took very long until i gained new dice. I'm wondering if the representation as dice does a disservice here. I'd expect some kind of combinatoric behind this, like i want to match the same die values, or never repeat a value (so do sth like a 4-4-4-4, or 1-2-3-4-5). From the description it sounds like the numeric value doesn't matter. I think then the game would be much clearer with symbols - like 6 different seeds, and 6 different temperature settings. In that setup you'd also be free to not have to make 6 values for each setting, but you could also do 3, or 4, or 20 :) I like the game, definitely interesting to experiment with.
