Hey there, nice entry idea! Refreshing interpretation of the theme :) Music and atmosphere are very fitting too and the graphics are great - good job!

Nice game! really liked the antagonist vibe, feels like hunter x hunter

Hey ! very interesting game :)) I especially like the effects when you select a dice lol

Great artistic choices. The change of views is well-done and the animations on the dice choice are great as well. Adding different types of dice make the challenge more interesting. Very good vibes overall!

Pretty cool dice rolling mechanic, I could see this being built out further into a full game. Is it using some sort of physics and then figuring out which side of the die landed up? Or is the random number determined ahead of time, and the animation is played to match it? Either way, that's an interesting technical problem to solve. Creative interpretation of the theme as well!

@jake-g Thank you! The dice are completely physics based! each side of the dice has a collider so that when the die is in a resting spot, it checks which collider intersects with the table and then reports back the side it rolled on. It's a little rough and had I had more time I would've used math to determine which side is up instead because it would be more reliable than this current system. I posted the source code if you wanted to poke around

Concept is really great, I could see this going further. Love the mood of this! I wish the animations were a lot faster (the dice should already be rolling by the time the camera pans down imo). Overall a really solid entry

I didn't quite get the rules. At some point I had like 10 and the dealer had more and my debt still increased ?

The concept seems nice if more clear and could be easily be expanded upon. I could see this becoming a buckshot roulette with dices lol, well done :)

Fun game! Buckshot roulette vibes, intended I'd guess :). I hope if I end up in a scary situation like this I'll get to play against someone as dumb as this dealer haha.

I really enjoyed playing, there's a lot of potential, and the art is amazing! I just wish there were more. However, the SFX actually hurt my ears a little. Still, it's a good game! Well done!

I really like the concept of this one! Buckshot dicette. I think this concept is deserved to be expanded and explored further. More dice types, maybe some sort of deckbuiding (dicebuilding in this case) mechanic or abilities/items, more interactions with dealer perhaps? Execution is also well done, wish for a button to speed up animations, thoug.

I'm not pretty sure of how I've done that, but I finally managed to win, even if I think I didn't understood the rules very well… Or maybe did I - isn't this like a sort of Black Jack with funny dices? Anyways, most important is that, for my surprise, it was fun to play, so: good job!

This was a really good entry! I'm giving it 5/5 across the board. Hoping you get to the top!

I LOVE GAMBLING!

I like you take on the theme. The different dice spiced things up, I really liked your entry good job

hexyvexy 2025-04-23 23:13

I'm not sure the balance works here, but the presentation is nice for what it is. I selected left dice every time and the dealer went bust without fail until I was debt-free.

When one of the cubes hit another, it flew out of the playing field and the game froze.
