Hi, the link just send me on a blank page with "WebGL builds are not supported on mobile devices." message.
Maybe you should try host the game in itch.io for instance, it handles well html games.

The description looks promising, but there is a black rectangle instead of the game. Could you please upload it to the itch.io or something?

Hey dude, upload it to itch.io and make it public!! I want to play your game!

Can not access the game on Google Chrome -> "WebGL builds are not supported on mobile devices.".

Thanks for the interest everyone :) We are trying to fix the issue, but nothing seems to work. It was working at the deadline, but we fixed some bugs in the upload-hour and since then it hasn't worked. We have also uploaded the game to itch.io, but this doesn't work either. It's a work in progress I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Great concept! You had me pulled in with the visuals wondering what was going on. I loved the 3d, and I didn't see any major bugs! Very innovative system with the dice representing risk/reward, and how you can "add" dice from previous floors.

That being said, I would have loved to have some sort of goal other than checking out your innovations. I feel that the "deeper and deeper" theme was mostly visual, but did incorporate into the mechanics just a little bit. I would have liked to see more instructions as I really didn't know what mana did or what keys did or even how to use them. I did find out through trial and error that "spacebar" rolled the dice, so a small "controls" section would be beneficial either in the game or on the ldjam site page.

You had me wanting to play your game, and you were a success. Thanks! Great job!

A really nice game ! It reminds me of some boardgame I played in the past so I had a good time playing it. Good job !

super interesting game, i would remove the count down timer and just let us roll with the game. i would also have the die bounce farther and faster, for effect.

I just played the game on chrome windows, its a really interesting concept. I liked it more than I though I would.

The concept itself is interesting and original. The game lacks a proper tutorial though. It's fun to randomly press the space button, but it's better to actually know what to do. From what I figured out the idea is great, it needs some polishing and the explanation. Other than that, great entry!

The way those dice spin is real satisfying. I also like the "Yeah" sound effect a lot (at least I pretty sure that's what the sound effect says).

I like the concept and think it has a lot of promise but I agree that a tutorial would be really good for a game like this. Overall though, great job!

Hello, your game does not work, neither on Firefox, nor on Microsoft Edge (chromium).

Apart from the fact that the game does not work the music is excellent and the graphics are great.

I always loves a game with dice, and it adds so much when you can actually see it and it's not just a random number generator. Nice.

@tris250 works in FireFox (88.0.1) for me.
Tris25018 May 2021, 11:17
Thanks @pete for your help, I finally managed to figure out how to play.

The game is really cool, the principle is very fun, well done to develop it.

This is a really cool idea for a game with a decent execution. I think the balance is a little off, but surprisingly good for the amount of time you had.

That was surprisingly fun! I still don't understand what the mana was for. On my first play-through I tried to upgrade my mana and never found any use for it.

I just ignored it on subsequent playthroughs and that worked out really well for me :P

Needs a bit of polish to the UI, but it was a really cool idea and really well executed.

Really unique and clever idea, nice works! Maybe can add some tutorials about the controls and mechanics.

Game looks promising, sadly it is difficult to get hang of what is going on ;c

A great RPG game! music and graphics are on fire, matching for sure. I wasnt understanding what to do in the beggining of the game, maybe to add an tutorial would help! Great game, good job

Pros: The dice mechanic to take place of the enemies is a really interesting idea that I love! On top of that, the dice rolling was really polished because there would be times my dice would get stuck on the walls and it would keep pushing it to the side it was mostly on. Great job on that!

Cons: At first, I didn't know how to play the game at all, I was a bit confused and had to just randomly select thing as I went and click buttons on my keyboard, but after I got it, it was fun to see! Having a short tutorial and key to represent what each item does would be great! If it's actually there and I just didn't see it, I apologize.

Overall, the game was really fun to play and I love the dice rolling mechanic a lot more than I expected to. If I knew what everything meant I know I would've played it for a lot longer. Great entry!
