Click on the book -> stats -> unlocks. At the bottom is a button to "Reset achievements" (along with buttons to "copy achievements" and "load achievements").
This game is incredible. Wanted to buy it for a long time and I did it two nights ago. I have no regret about my lack of sleep because of that game, it is so addictive, so complex and the thrill of knowing if you're gonna be in luck or na... Just perfect ! I'm just sad I bought it on Android, bcoz now I want to play on my pc too !
I am preaching the word of this game to anyone who will listen to me. It is everything I love about dice-based tabletops like Dice Settlers combined with everything I love about deckbuilding roguelikes akin to Slay.
Hoooooo boy. Also can I say, I really appreciate how perfectly the game resizes to any window size flawlessly.
Graves are broken and need a nerf . they either need 3 blank sides or to spawn a weaker version of bones with 3HP . they are the most broken spawning enemy in the game . it literally ended so many runs i had just because i was unable to have enough cleave attacks on multiple heroes or spells . they counter any build that don't have enough attacks that hit multiple enemies .
the idea with graves is to use the skeletons to damage them. when skeletons die, they damage adjacent foes. manipulating skeleton damage is really fun once you get the hang of it!
graves aren't dangerous themselves. as long as we can kill enough skeletons to keep their numbers manageable, the graves will die eventually.
that understandable strategy . but man , when you get 3 of them with few enemies in the same level . it's a run ender for me most of the time (playing on hard)
I have not been this addicted to a game in a long time, reminds me of SNKRX which has the same ideas just different mechanics, both are great but Slice And Dice just has that one more run that never ends quality to it. I only heard of it through Celerity on twitch didn't even see him play it just saw the name of the game and got it on google play, so when it hits Steam its going to blow up.
Is there a way to transfer my entire progress (everything I've unlocked) or account from android to pc? I already bought the game from the playstore, do I need to buy it on pc again?
If you go to book -> stats -> unlocks, at the bottom are options to copy achievements and load achievements. You might be able to use that to copy from Android and load on PC.
Purchasing for PC gives a file you can load on Android. Sadly, I don't believe there's any way to apply your purchase from the Play store to Itch.io. You will need to purchase from Itch.io to gain access to the PC version, though you do get all other versions with it too.
I saw one video of gameplay on YouTube and I insta-bought this game. Congratulations guys, this is a GOOD one and it shows all the hard work you poured in it.
BTW, is there any chance to add controller support in the future? Thanks!
I ended up having an absolutely cracked Loot run today that actually got me my first win in the mode (sure, it was on Easy, but still). My selection of blessing/curse 'purchases' this run was exquisite, and a few lucky items (Glass Blade + Silk Cape and Twisted Bar + Two Reeds come to mind, as well as Infinity for Hexia) got me through the entire run with only a couple of deaths (including a mage sacrifice to OHKO Hexia with Infinity). Even got an achievement for beating level 20 in a single turn!
The Windows demo .zip file for this game seems to be malformed. Rather than the presumably intended directory structure, the .zip archive instead contains a few empty directories and a bunch of files in the root of the archive, most of which contain the "\" (Windows directory delimiter) character. I don't know whether the .zip file would decompress as expected (i.e., with a directory structure) on Windows or not, but it doesn't decompress as expected on Linux.
Attached is a screenshot to illustrate the issue:
Compare this to the Mac zip file, which does not have the same issue:
I had this same issue, though I'm on linux (running it in wine) and I thought maybe that was the issue. Interesting that it's happening to you too. A solution/workaround I found was to use a command-line unzip tool. This preserved the directory structure as intended. I did try 2 seperate gui extractors and they did the same garbage to the contents.
I love the unlocks that I get from achievements but personally, I wish there was one for beating the game because that stands out to me as a momentous occasion. I just did it my first time, I used custom party.
Twin Daggers + Blue Skink copying Valkyrie. Hexia never stood a chance... Also got me the 4-revive achievement.
Siphon + Poseidon's Trident. Works best with Enchanter, but any side that "Adds self-shield/self-heal" will serve to get your engine going, Twins are also a plus
Sometimes I come across a game where I wish I had come up with the idea, this was one of those kudos for the design. I wonder why you didn't release the game on steam, it would work there as well I am confident
I got introduced to the game through Northernlion and I got to say this is by far my most favourite roguelite this year. Easy to get into, highly replayable and enjoyable, well worth it's price!
good game, bought and played it. somehow got it to run the first time. now i can't get it to run. so be weary - edit - redownloaded and got it to run, lost all progress
Great game, also think Hexia needs a nerf, haven't uncovered other final bosses other than dragon and hexia, which is extremely difficult without a broken combo. 4.9 stars
I love this game and have put so many hours in to it... its crazy... there are so many awesome decision making moments and opportunities that are easy to miss but if you find them... just wow its so fun.
Hexia is way way too hard though, just absurdly difficult compared to any other option. She starts with way too many enemies and her skills are all so much more impactful than any other final boss... summoning a demon is just such a game ender and why does she get to deal so much damage to you with just her passives? I've really lost so many good hard mode runs just because I keep running in to hexia, I have the hard mode clear unlocked on pc because I totally steamrolled through a dragon on my first attempt... gotten three awesome runs in a row to final boss on hard mode and I get shut down instantly by hexia... inflict pain, 4 petrify, summoning a DEMON when she already starts with 4 imps and they like to summon bones... my issues with hexia have taken up more words than my glowing review of this astounding game that you NEED to own if you've ever even glanced in the direction of a dice game and felt even mildly interested.
Basically you need this game, and eff hexia, if you fight her and win, celebrate.
don't block me I just want to give some advice, in my opinion the balancing mode should be reviewed, so as to play at least 2/3 levels, otherwise it doesn't represent a "real session" of the game, some of the player can get defeat in some of the previous level in a classic run
great game except for unfair, which sucks complete cock and is completely RNG-dependent; average run has you getting washed before level 10 and even with a crazy good build and items you're 99% going to get trashed on round ~15 by some arbitrary bullshit like a 7-mob fight that has 2 alphas w/ stone health and monster HP+++.
everything else is awesome but unfair needs a nerf; and no, it doesn't matter if the point is that it's supposed to be like that, because the way it is isn't fun.
This game is amazing! It is quite simple and the flow of user interactions is very smooth and streamlined. Nevertheless it has a surprising depth in gameplay and requires tactical and combinatorial thinking to be able to complete a full run - that and some plain old luck. The user interface initially looks a bit wacky but it turns out to be extremely clear, with colors and precise wording communicating all the important facts. Me and my son have a lot of fun playing this game, actually more than I expected. A gem of a tactical dice game. Huge respect to the developers. And special thanks for making it available on several platforms.
Was enjoying the game but found the moments where the game decides to explicitly tell you you're enjoying the game wrong to be extremely condescending and annoying. e.g. when you try to refresh curses.
It's ok to design games with a specific experience in mind - but why even include the button if you're just going to call the user dumb for clicking on it, & give them a little bit of homework to make the button work again. Seems in extremely poor taste.
How to inteprete Poet sprite: a) Dude with nose in the books b) Dude in weird square helmet c) Dude in bell like helmet d) some weird pop-culture reference I don't understand
it was also very confusing to me but then I watched a movie called Strawberry Mansion and I’m pretty sure it’s a reference to that. Great movie, I’d recommend watching :)

Awesome roguelike!
Love the dice mechanics and the excellent graphics.
Ceres Fauna brought me here and I am not disappointed!
I want to initialize all the achievements I have achieved, characters and items that have been released. I want to play 'New Game'. How can I do?
Click on the book -> stats -> unlocks. At the bottom is a button to "Reset achievements" (along with buttons to "copy achievements" and "load achievements").
Thank you very much!

This game is everything you want from a rogue like. I can’t recommend it enough.

Is there a way to transfer my entire progress (everything I've unlocked) or account from android to pc? I already bought the game from the playstore, do I need to buy it on pc again?
You can unlock all in the options menu (or maybe it's in the achievements section of the almanac).
Feels bad, but beats unlocking everything again.
If you go to book -> stats -> unlocks, at the bottom are options to copy achievements and load achievements. You might be able to use that to copy from Android and load on PC.

Are there any plans to port the game to Steam? Game seems fun, but I just find Steam much more convenient so I'd rather buy it there.
You can external games to your Steam library, although you won't be able to play it on other devices.
I ended up having an absolutely cracked Loot run today that actually got me my first win in the mode (sure, it was on Easy, but still). My selection of blessing/curse 'purchases' this run was exquisite, and a few lucky items (Glass Blade + Silk Cape and Twisted Bar + Two Reeds come to mind, as well as Infinity for Hexia) got me through the entire run with only a couple of deaths (including a mage sacrifice to OHKO Hexia with Infinity). Even got an achievement for beating level 20 in a single turn!
A loot win, even on Easy, is an accomplishment. Great job!
why do i see streamers have copy on spellblade while i have poison. it says 2.0 is the latested updat
Anyone know what the lvl 50 otem bug (+1 - 1 hp) does?
I was wondering, if/when the steam version releases, will the owners of the itch.io version get access to it or will they need to repurchase?
Loving the game on Windows so far! Would happily pay again for an iOS version.

Yes, check book-stats-unlocks
Feedback regarding unlocks.
I love the unlocks that I get from achievements but personally, I wish there was one for beating the game because that stands out to me as a momentous occasion. I just did it my first time, I used custom party.
Amazing game. Some fun combos I've found:
Twin Daggers + Blue Skink copying Valkyrie. Hexia never stood a chance... Also got me the 4-revive achievement.
Siphon + Poseidon's Trident. Works best with Enchanter, but any side that "Adds self-shield/self-heal" will serve to get your engine going, Twins are also a plus
Damage combos? What are they?
Fun game, worth the price. Give the demo a shot and you'll get hooked.
also haha hammer go brrrr
🌲/5
This game feels like the developer forgot to add neutralizer. Many mechanics feel broken but they work precisely as they are described in the notes.
Is there any eta on the iOS version? No pressure of course, super excited for it.

There’s been a lot of spam and nfsw comments recently so I’m disabling comments for now… Maybe I’ll try re-enabling in a few weeks.
Or days, let’s see how it goes.
rip still getting spammed, will re-enable some time
Trying again now
good game, bought and played it. somehow got it to run the first time. now i can't get it to run. so be weary - edit - redownloaded and got it to run, lost all progress
Very addictive roguelite. Found on Northernlion's stream
I'd but it if it would have let me
I would love to see this game on steam.
my slice and dice file got restarted. where does stuff get saved and can I get my old one back?
C:\Users\{YOUR_USERNAME}\.prefs
Should be a file named `slice-and-dice-2`, at least for the current version of the game :)
Great game, also think Hexia needs a nerf, haven't uncovered other final bosses other than dragon and hexia, which is extremely difficult without a broken combo. 4.9 stars
