Maces and Dices

definitely interesting

GOTY 2023 10/10 would get angry at dice again

This review goes in greater detail, but in general: I really like the game! Does contain mild spoilers. The game is a turn based, strategy game where you discover new moves, enemies and upgrades as you progress. The game comes with three levels. The first level focuses on the classic fantasy dungeon trope with bows and swords. The second focuses on a more explosive environment and has some interesting mechanics regarding moving yourself, enemies and objects. The third adds some new floor tiles and some unique attack mechanics and enemies. Dice define your movement, your attacks, your health - everything! A dice gets damaged by the first hit and broken by the second hit. Some rare attacks deal more than one hit. You pick up different dice as you go. Dice again be upgraded by picking up an "+" to better fulfil their purpose. The game doesn't explain much regarding tactics and enemies. Only the dice are explained.

Really cool game! I found out about the game through the game jam version and was excited to find out that there's a steam release too! (The text below here is now obsolete because the developer fixed it yayy ^^) I would like to report a bug though; there is a game-crashing bug that happens when you place two storms on top of each other and then you step on them. When this happens, the game freezes for a while before closing. The two simplest solutions to this issue which I can think of are to either make it so you can't place a storm on top of a pre-existing one; or you could make it so placing a storm on top of another will delete the original storm with the new storm in it's place. Otherwise I think this is an amazing game with a very unique idea, really excited to see what other projects you come up with! ^^

A lot has happened since the competition! I havent figured out how to counter all enemies, nor use all dice yet, but Im really enjoying level 3 +Its beautiful!
