Yeah, unfortunatly, the game can be confusing at first because of a lack of some UI elements, this is something that I'll work on harder next time

Thanks , I'm glad you liked it! =)

Thanks, glad you liked it! =)

Thanks a lot for the kind words and the feedback! =D

For the art, it's most: the gods illustrations are free images. But the screens, transitions, dice and menus were made by the designer of the duo, he thanks you too ^^

Yeeeeah, 'bout thaaaaat...  ^^'
The AI is very wonky, and ironically enough, the more broken dice it has, the more broken it becomes, for reasons that are still unclear to me (and I coded the thing '^')
However, I never got the case where it would just play nothing, now that's new! XD

For the score, this is intended! Doubles count twice and triple thrice. A score of 45 means it played triple 5:  (5 + 5 + 5) * 3 = 45
This is to encourage strategic play: since a power removes a battle slot, only two 5s and a power would score  (5 + 5) * 2 = 20  (instead of 45 for a triple) BUT you get to play a power.
It's all about balance between destruction/protection and score: if your opponent has a Fire power available in his 5 throws, going only score might be dangerous. But he might only bluff to get you to play an Earth die for nothing while it banks a huge score. So what to do? (at least that was what we intended, if I had time to implement a better AI)

Thanks again for the feedback, glad you liked it! =)

Thanks!

Ahah, yeah, the design is a bit all over the place, the dice themselves and their effects contrast a lot with the greek gods illustrations, the buttons, etc ^^'
Thanks a lot for playing!

Of course, I test all the games of the commenters on my submission =)

Thanks a lot!

Since the player starts with only 5 regular die, the first battle might indeed be a bit unfair. That's why we made it so that it is always possible to buy at least on die from the Forge at the beginning of the game (however, it isn't specified anywhere, my bad ^^')

Glad you liked! =)

Thanks!

In an ideal version of this game, the battle log shouldn't be here at all and everything should have been told with visual and soud effects, it was a last minute addition ^^'

But I'm glad you liked it! =)

Thanks!

Last year's entry was way too complicated, so we really wanted to make something simpler both to understand and pick up

It's a aspect that gets brought up a lot in the comments, rightfully so: the UI is confusing in battle because of a lack of feedback and sound design. We planned on doing some, but unfortunately couldn't get it to work in time.

Thanks for playing!

Thanks!

I agree it's definitely too static, that's something I'll work on better next time.

I'm guessing by "weird" you meant "confusing"? If so, yes, it lacks a lot of feedback and visual/sound effects, I wish I could have made them fit into the final submission '~'

But thanks a lot! =)

"but your game more polished", he said, with his submission having full graphics, music and a functionning battle system XD

But more seriously, thanks a lot! I'm glad you liked it.
It's always nice to see people work with a similar idea, but very different execution ^^

Unfortunately, the game can be very confusing because of the lack of player feedback...
As for the forge, you need to sell a die to make room for a new one, but again, there's no real indication that you need to do that. '~'

Sorry you couldn't really enjoy it, and thanks for the feedback, I'll work harder on that aspect for next time!

Thanks!

Sound design is really lacking, indeed, so it will be a high priority for next time.

Thanks a lot! =D

I'm glad the thing people seem to like the most is the strategy aspect, since we really wanted to make something that was more than just "Select the highest score to win"!

And about sound design, with all the people that told it was lacking, I will make it a higher priority for next time. I really wanted to add some, but unfortunately time didn't agree to that -.-'

But otherwise, I'm glad you liked it!

It's not that it could use sound design, it's that it really lacks the one we wanted to add! ^^'
Sound design and in-battle feedback are the two biggest problems in my opinion, because it makes the game confusing at first. I'll make them a higher priority for next time.

This is exactly what we wanted to achieve! Powers are importants, but they cost you score. For a power to be viable, it has to make up for what it costs you (for instance, a Poison roll can remove up to 6 Score, which may have been better than your roll for this turn. And if the opponent has a 1, it can even make it negative!), so that victory by score would always be an option, and not just something you do at the beginning and let go of when you have all powers in your inventory.
We also wanted to make the player able to choose an opponent die after a victory, so that total destruction may come at the cost of a powerful die you might have wanted.

... You know, we discovered that "feature" like half an hour before we posted the game. We were so tired it made us laugh for a solid minute, so we decided to keep it XD

Thanks a lot for the feedback! =D

(lies, lieeees D:)

Thanks at lot, I'm glad you liked it! ^^

We wanted to add some sound effects, but unfortunately the timing was too short, since we made the battle system a bit too complicated for my coding skills '^'
But for my next jam, this will be an important thing to consider, along with in-game feedback!
