The concept is pretty neat, but it isn't a ton of fun because all you're doing is rolling a die.
Soundtrack fits perfectly. Nice work!
Awesome job!
It was kinda slow at times, but maybe you just didn't want it to be too hard. Difficulty should be scaled better, and when switching between dice the old number stays up. Maybe you should have made it re-rolled when you switch?
Still minor nit picks, but I REALLY liked this game, haha.
I tried the windows download, but when i try to play: "Unable to load mono library from [file directory]"
Cool idea, and well executed.
Really nice tempo with the animations and music.
One small bug - when switching dice, the previous number appears on them, even if it's "out of the range", such as a '7' on a 2-sided one.
I had many times when I accidentally pressed down again, after seeing a number I wanted, and then I instinctively pressed 'up'. So that was sometimes frustrating.
Yeah, the bug with the number is a known issue, just was running out of time, so I put that off to the side to do other things.
Really really polished :) had lots of fun!
All in all, well done.
Anyway very cool.
This is an achievement worth being proud of.
Music is good, although it kinda drowns out the sfx, making it a little difficult to tell when I've made a roll and roll the same number twice.
think the difficulty should maybe ramp up a little quicker.
Neat concept.
BUT :) (There's always but :P)
1. It's a game about chance, and because it's about chance, the more times you throw, the more chances you have. So... Nothing is stopping me from just spamming down and space on the 8 sider. Nothing at all. So the game pretty much became meaningless. Needs an incentive to throw accurately or a disincentive to throw recklessly.
2. RNG means if your number doesn't come up, it doesn't come up. Dice sucks :P
3. The sound effects are completely terrible compared to the music. Guess that's why the volume's low.
4. Love the doof doof screen shake to the music. Nice touch.
5. That wasn't a but. Ooops.
Great entry :) Lacking in a few areas but great.
And this roll has nothing to do with actually rolling initiative, so bogus name :P
My compoliments to the chief, Atari Lynx.
Nice music and very stylish graphics, as excpected. Great work, man
hard to play with RNG, but i got a lot of score ;)
Also, I had it times where the number of the enemy just didn't show up so that enemy got across the screen. Nothing I could do about that.
I think this is a really cool interpretation of the theme. The presentation was 6 stars top notch.
I almost think the dice should just be used to add to an attack instead of being the whole attack with exact numbers.
But none the less great job!!
