Cool game! I like these type of strategy games where you are constantly trying to balance different stats.

I like optimization games, it's a good entry. Could have worked better with some more explainations on why you are losing stats when selection a slot on the dice ^_^

I was stuck once I had nothing more to buy, did it mean I won :D? Or should the store have replenished?

Nice work :)

Thanks for playing @xahell - The game contintues until you run out of health or time. It may have been a bug, (That i just patched). I just fixed it by including a skip button for both the cards and the store in the event you cannot afford any of the available tiles.

Great mechanics! Congrats!

Decent entry, I'd like to see some better and more consistent fonts. The font for the numbers on the dice and tiles just feels off.

Quit doesnt work for me. the mechanic is interesting. :hearts: the graphic and the mood are nice. :smile:

Seems like a cool idea and great music, but I couldn't really understand what I was doing. One thing that was particularly confusing was that I would click +4 for something, but then it would take 4 away from that category (e.g. -4, not +4).

Too bad I couldn't understand what was going on, because the over all aesthetic was great.

Interesting mechanics and simple yet fun gameplay. Well done!

Nice little dice rolling game. Sometimes the die went outside the camera view when rolling. Maybe use a transform.LookAt(DiceGameObject) to keep the camera locked on it. The gate model and clouds looked really cool. Some visuals could help with making the numbers feel more meaningful, such as showing a guy getting sick as his health decreases or a big stack of cash as your money goes up.

Very nice idea.

nice idea, i got a problem reaching the end, the last few rows i didn't get any card to choose anymore and when i didn't have any tile to buy, i got stuck and had to alt f4 the game, nice idea tho !

luis-j-benitez 2019-05-08 17:47

i was curious about the end but i got out of dice faces to buy and couldnt advance. Good idea for a short time od develop.

@enderswype @luis-j-benitez Thanks for playing. I took a look at the code and found the bug that was causing that issue with the store not being able to skip. I have patched it and added it to the downloads. Now when you Click a skip button on both the Card select and store screen that will toggle on and off in the lower left hand color.

I didn't get it. When I click a positive number on the die or store, I lose stats! That is not what I would have expected. Also, the buttons when the game is over do not work.

I think the premise is good, but there could be more explanation as to what everything does and why I lose stats when choosing a positive number.

Also, since the only audio seems to be the music, you probably should have opted out of audio as the music is not yours.

Very nice idea! =)

I am not sure I totally understand this game, but I like the idea of a game about lift choices.
