I really like the concept, but the movement between pieces is a little jarring, and it's not immediately clear what's happening when you select the dice (I assume it decides on the number of spaces to move). I like the fighting mechanic though, which is a very nice touch! A solid attempt, I think!

sorry but i could not figure out what was going on - it just seemed like i was wandering all over the game board - nice effort

The game concept is really interesting, I like it. In the beginning it's unclear how the game works, so an ingame tutorial would make the game easier I think.
I'm not sure if it's intended but both dice show 6 all the time, I would have expected they show different numbers according to the number of steps possible. After a few levels I couldn't go further when reaching the exit, I'm not sure if that's the end of the game or a bug.
Other than that I would like to have some audio and some animations. There is a lot of potential in the game.

@loxo Thanks! I was really struggling for time so decided to focus on finishing the game's logic and rooting out the bugs before the extra art. The dice was supposed to be animated and the grey block on the second screenshot should contain a picture of the power-up (or down ;)) you just received.

You should be able to continue after reaching the exit, seems like it's a bug so I'll look into it.

I like your game, it's a real board game with only some flaws in animations and graphics. The gameplay is solid and the level generator is awesome. Nice job ;-)

Not too bad. But I can't figure out whats going on in the game?! :3

Sorry but i do not understand what we have to do. I spent few minutes trying to understand the principles but then i couldnt understand what was my goal. anyway, keep doing great work ;)

I like the idea of the concept, too bad you didn't had time to finish and polish the game

Nice game and nice think ;)

Nice board generation, I love the way you took on the theme. It seemeds that my dice rolls were all different but it always displayed a 6. Graphics served their purpose and no sound effects sadly.

Too bad there's no sound and that the dice animation wasn't working as intended but I liked the board game concept. Perhaps you should add an option to scroll through the game map so you can see what's ahead.

Fun. but a bit wierd really needs more explenation

Simple concept but a cool one. Wish you could see the player move steps individually, but still very cool.

Wow! A tabletop game with RPG touches, good job! The only piece I think it's missing is somekind of animations between movements.

Nice game. Didn't see the use of fighting and always fled. Power-ups and downs seemed a bit random. Liked the core mechanic of deciding which way to go.

Definitely needed more explanation and on-screen information. A BIG step would have been just to display the number of steps you were going to move before you moved.
