Playing as goblins rather than adventurers, but also the core concept is that (dice) rolls are reversed and swapped around every time an attack is made.

Great concept for a puzzle like combat game.

Two fold Reversal, very interesting and cool  concept. Really good job.

I played a full game and... I won without losing a single goblin ! That was a super cool and challenging experience. I had to use all my braincells and use my innate luck to achieve this.

Very, very, well done. This is one of the games I had the most fun with in this jam, for the moment.

Niceee !

I do apologise if you encounter either of the following bugs, I didn't have time to find and fix them on the Sunday:

  • Sometimes you choose a character, but the action menu remains greyed out
  • Sometimes the AI can't decide what to do, and just sits there forever

The only solution at the moment is to refresh the page to restart the game. Sorry!

I normally dislike these sorts of grid-based strategy games especially when high amounts of RNG is involved, but this really drew me in! I think it's the min-maxer in me fist-pumping whenever I trade a d4 in for a double-damage d12 and run for the hills to protect it. The strategy elements seem simple at first, but the ability to protect large-dice units with other units while also considering how the dice might move around the board in the coming turns gives a lot to think about. Great work!

I wonder how this would play as a pvp board game. I might try that some time.
