The game's theme was inspired by the disco song Stay Alive, therefore I decide to make my own mixtape it has copyrighted music.
*Color blind friendly (Hopefully... or I wasted too much time)
Controls - Mouse - Drop and drag Dice - Shake Dice to Roll - Press R to Roll all Dice at once - drop Dice on Characters to interact - keep your points above the goal
Goodluck have fun!!!
Feedback is appreciated

Hello @kappa-b :) Unfrotunately the link https://kappab.itch.io/disco-alive is broken. I was trying to find the correct one in your twitter or itch.io profile but didn't succeed.
Thank for the game :) It was fun. What a great song :) I'd like to see a bit more information about my goals as a player :) I love the graphics and emotions on their faces :) Wish you the best of luck!
@bigquacko thanks for the feedback, I agree the game is a bit repetitive, I wish i had more time for the other feature, I had planned a few curveballs and abilities that I think would have turned the game upside-down, but atlas no time. anyways thanks for playing
I spent about 10 minutes on the menu shaking the dice trying to match them all up before I noticed the door that says it starts the game. I clicked on it but nothing happens. I dragged dice onto it but nothing happens. I shook the dice to make a red two like the door popup shows and dragged that on, but nothing happens. I dragged dice onto the dancing tutorial people and they spin up in the air and come back, but nothing seems to happen. I don't know what I'm meant to do, I'm not even sure if I started the game. There's no score showing, so I don't think I'm even playing. Did I hit a bug? Maybe I'm dumb, but more instructions here in the description would be very useful.
The graphics style is nice, it feels very consistent and cohesive. It's a great use of simple assets.
I like how you used the music for the theme, but I'm biased because we did the exact same thing. Our game is also based on keeping a party alive and features Staying Alive, although we remade the music from scratch and changed it so much that it only has hints of the original left. I doubt anyone's even noticed.
I've rated on graphic, theme, and mood only because I didn't actually get it to play.
Hey @theothersamp Im so Sorry to hear that you had troubles. From your description it seems to me like it was defiantly a bug. To start the game all you have to do is drag and place a Red 2 on the door. It should have started the level right away. Thats so weird I wonder.. It might be a resolution thing where the hit box was offset weird. or one of the builds in a different system isn't working properly. would you let me know what system you are playing in and your screen ration 16:9 or 16:10 or other?thanks for try anyways, and for letting me know.
The game was very different from what I've seen so far. The dice mechanic is interesting, but the rolling feels a bit clunky, especially if you're trying to roll a single dice. It was still good fun and very enjoyable though!
That was a fun, different and confusing at start game. By confusing I mean, I knew that I had to drag the specific dices shown on the door to open the door (start the game). but it was not working. Later I figured out, I had to drag it a bit above the door to start the game. So that was a bit frustrating to figure out :sweat_smile: . But after the game started it was really fun to play. It got nice art style and the game feels grounded with a good gameplay loop. Overall it was a nice game :smile:.
Very fun game, only two bits of criticism: the tutorial could be a little bit clearer and the dice in the tray could have some kind of warning when they were still shuffling and couldn't be used
The mechanics are unique, but I found the game confusing and even a bit rage inducing at times. The mechanics do rely a lot on luck, which isn't unusual in a game. It's just in this one, it's a bit extra painful as you helplessly watch the timers go down while the dice reroll takes an eternity. I seemed to also keep rerolling individual dice by accident whenever I clicked too close to the edge of the die.
Somehow I got a high score of 20618 in 1976. Kind of wondering if it's a bug because I don't think my score was anywhere near there til the round I lost.
On the bright side, the game is at least very compelling to play. There's also quite a few effects going on with the dice, which is impressive. The graphics are also well made and incredibly polished. Obviously the music works wonders in setting the mood. There's a lot of good things going on here. It just needs some tweaks and perhaps a little more instruction.
Thanks for bringing this by my stream for us to check out. I had a lot of fun with it. The (part muted) highlight can be found at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/617290859 if you'd like to watch again.
