Funny music and a nice change of pace from other games I've played so far. Good interpretation of the theme.

This entry confused me. Pretty good, but I'm not sure how to feel.

Overall quality was good. The bounties made sense but I had a hard time memorizing them. The only thing that really confused me gameplay-wise was the Roll/Stay, since it told me I re-rolled a bounty (I think I forgot that the one in the bottom left wasn't the only bounty), and because I wasn't sure if I was choosing the dice to lock in, or to re-roll for a minute. Made sense after I tried it a couple times.

Thanks for including the help menu in game, by the way!

Very fun game, would be a great game to drink and play with friends. 10/10 would play if with a group if multiplayer was available!

I like the game and the music. But I'm very confused about the rules..

The audio and music are great but it's difficult to understand what's going on during the game, although the rules guide sounded clear.

Haha the music alone deserves a high innovation/audio point, the humor is also there! and the art style is the cherry on top, really nice work!

I think the tutorial is a bit confusing, especialy before you get to play, I realized that the gameplay wasn't as complicated as the tutorial made me think, so maybe that needs some work, other than that great job on this game

I tried to understand how this game works, but I wasn't able to figure it out. Even after reading the rules multiple times I still got confused. For example, I'm not sure what it means to select dice. Do I select the dice that I want to reroll, or the ones that will stay? Sometimes when I click reroll I'm already borked before the roll even happened. Is it because of the dice I already had? It's just all very confusing to me, and that's unfortunate. I like the singing, and it was a nice addition that the guy kept telling sea-related jokes.

This was neat little game. Took a few rounds to grasp what I had to do, but I figured it out! I enjoyed it.

After 3 Games i got the hang of it and i like it. This would fit great into an open world game. (like Gwent in Witcher)
Music ist great, graphics feel like it came from a monkey-island screen.
A really like it :)

Graphics and music were quite immersive. Loved the aesthetic in general.
I felt like the rules didn't flow too well together,
and I would have benefited from being able to see how the AI character chose their dice.
Loved the touch where the dice colors changed!
I had trouble reading the jokes, but it was nice that there was a touch of humor.

Thanks for making and sharing the game!
