Really beautiful art, great ambiance to the sound design - I had some real issues with slowdown though (especially before the first enemy appeared, it spottily returned to normal speed after that). I really liked the rolling to move mechanic to determine action points. Overall, very cool!

The game's beautiful, and the sound design is great.

I like the mechanics (dice roll for movement). It felt to me that once we got bigger dice, it was easier.

Great job overall.

Good mood and sound design. I think the animations could have been faster to give the game a bit dynamism (but that might have been detrimental to the mood)

And maybe I suck but I find the game very difficult x) I'm going to blame bad dice luck for that

Interesting idea. At first I thought the health is the reaper's health so I was trying to avoid the enemies then realized that is the container's health and I am invincible. Good job.

Loved the graphics and sound. Loved the grid movement and tactical gameplay.

Interesting mechanics with the dice, but I couldn't really tell how the dice rolls were changing. Some of the drops couldn't be picked up, which made it more confusing.

I liked the graphics, the the models and the colors worked really well. It was an enjoyable game loop, although getting low rolls without any alternate choice kinda hurt. I got to a point where I wasn't gonna die any more.

At the beginning of the game I did not understand how to play, when I watched the trailer I completely understand, the game is very simple and clear, is to guard and kill, the style is also great, but there are a few small bugs, when the enemy stood on the soul I have not eaten I can no longer eat that soul, and sometimes I killed the enemy but his model is still there, and will jump forward, which makes me I had to kill again. But this game is fun to get caught up in and I'm looking forward to playing this game after the bugs are fixed! Screenshots attached

For a first participation you made a solid entry with clever gameplay and a neat aesthetic. As some players I did not understand everything at the start, but the video gave me enough information. The controls work well as expected - but I noticed some bugs which could be fixed with more time. I had fun playing. Overall, you made a cool project in less than 3 days. Thank you for your feedback. I wish you the best ++
