It's great, but really needs just a little bit more polish to be astounding. At the higher levels of difficulty especially, there isn't much in the way of strategy, so much as just hoping you get lucky.
There are also certain builds and combinations that are outright broken, from both the player and enemy's perspective.
For some reason, I've been sitting on giving this game a try for a little bit. But I finally downloaded the demo and made it to Level 8.
First, I think the art design with the larger pixel size is phenomenal. You've done an amazing job putting so much detail and character into a small pixel density. The aesthetic is beautiful and the scrolling background sets a great stage.
Second, the color scheme sets a great tone by being just a bit cool and dark, so it gives everything a calm moody vibe. Loop Hero is very grimdark with its gray and brown color scheme, whereas I think Slice & Dice has a slightly more inviting vibe by using the wider spectrum. Makes for a great experience to play in the dark.
Third, I really enjoy the game loop. It's a simple and clear concept that honestly makes me like the turn-based battle mechanic more than I ever have in classic JRPGs. I usually hate turn-based battle planning, but the dice and re-rolls gives it an angle that keeps me engaged and checking for the best strat.
I think I'll give the demo another go and will very likely be picking up a full copy in the near future.
Looking forward to what else you've got in development as well.
Just tried the demo yesterday. Must admit that it's very addictive. If you would ever like to support additional languages - do not hesitate to write me, I can do Russian translation (translated Bot Vice and Shotgun King).
I've played this game nearly daily for half an year now, still missing three unlocks from cursed run and only now I've come across a game crashing bug:
My leader has a Timestone equipped, which gives Cantrip for the two on the right side. Stun and the boost hammers. When the die lands with the hammer side up, with the cantrip, it crashes instantly. I guess the game doesn't know what to boost as it is the first turn and no dice have been chosen.
bruh you know how many discords people are in on average these days? I have a folder with the majority of mine in it just so i can pop in and check for updates, cause so many projects are "join the discord for updates"
Some enemies need some nerfs to specific attacks, but all-in-all I absolutely adore this game. You've done an excellent job with both the gameplay and the aesthetic.
One of the best aspects is trying new combinations; I won't make suppositions about how easy it is to add new gamemodes, but a custom mode where you pick level III classes and any items would be really fun for some broken gameplay against, say, a boss rush or such.
Honestly, right now the biggest thing I want is for hidden item achievements to be separated from hidden leaderboard achievements. I want to unlock the items and care very little about the leaderboards, so it sucks that I can only see three at a time and most of the time they're leaderboards I need to unlock in order to see the criteria for a new item.
Would rebuy for Steam or Switch, as others have said.
On Android, you long-press on the hero dice to bring up the info box, but it disappears when you let go. Is it possible to make it stay up after a long press and then tap to dismiss it? Sometimes I need to remind myself what the dice sides do before I decide to reroll, and it would be much easier if the info box didn't auto-close after letting go.
Loving the game. Bought it immediately after finishing the demo and can't put it down. Best mobile game I've played in a long time. Thanks!
I've only played the demo so far, but it was really good. It sounds like you're planning on doing a Steam release at some point, and so as a fellow game dev I'd recommend getting that Steam page up ASAP so you can start building wishlists etc. Great work!
Bought it on google play not knowing it's on PC as well and absolutely loving it!!
I adore the pixelart, the classes, bosses, it's just my type of game! Definitely re-buying if Steam release is ever a thing and if it ever gets on the Switch!!
Heya Tann! I just bought this, and I will be re-buying this on both Steam and iOS should you choose to release them there as well.
This game is absolutely fantastic. Take a moment and really feel a sense of satisfaction that you've done a great job thus far, and get excited for what's to come. Not enough people do that. :P
I tried the demo. Despite I'm a stupid hater of pixel art, I admit that your game is nice and readable. The movements of the dices are very fun! Congratulations!
This game is a dream came true. Literally. I was designing an extremely similar game some time ago. Thank you for actually creating it! I'm, obviously, in love.
But what I had was just a barebones idea, you took it into space. You have squeezed a lot from a limited design space.
Found this on playstore because of the great pixel art, bought it and felt like I had to come over and gush about how good this game is. This is now one of my all time favorite games for mobile, I cannot praise it enough.
Came for the pixels, stayed for the gameplay, 10/10 would wholeheartedly reccomend.

How surprise the update is！
Wait what? Look at that changelog! Love you for bringing so much new content! <3
Where did you find the changelog? Looked for it but couldn't find anything, even ingame it still shows the 1.0.3 changelog
Download the new files, its the 2.0 release.
I downloaded all of them, but can't find a changelog.
patch notes are in game, in the menu look at the Almanac tab and you'll see a section for "patch"
W00t. Exiting update. iPad coming soon too?
Man, I thought about making a game like this a while ago, you beat me to it.
Really wish this game was getting more updates.
It's great, but really needs just a little bit more polish to be astounding. At the higher levels of difficulty especially, there isn't much in the way of strategy, so much as just hoping you get lucky.

I play this game all the time on the train, its a bunch of fun and definitely a reccomend!

I love this game.
I sunk about 40 hours into this in a week until I finally beat Unfair. Everything about the game is great except no music and I just want more stuff!
Will there be any more development? The last update appears to be a year ago
join the discord, there will be a big update coming eventually
bruh you know how many discords people are in on average these days? I have a folder with the majority of mine in it just so i can pop in and check for updates, cause so many projects are "join the discord for updates"
Seriously. What happened to blog posts that anyone can view at any time?

Would rebuy for Steam or Switch, as others have said.
Please add a fullscreen mode! I'm autistic and not having it makes it unplayable for me!
Any chance this is coming to Xbox my dad would love this game (also is it coming to iOS for me, could definitely use this on my lunch :P)
Good game! At start i thought was a one more game but playing was one of my favorite games, i only play demo :(
suggestion: gamemode with more than 2 pick choices of lvls&items for the "Perfect Team"
but..... Custom Party Mode already in the game
will this be added to the apple store too?
can we get the option to skip hero upgrades

Loving the game. Bought it immediately after finishing the demo and can't put it down. Best mobile game I've played in a long time. Thanks!
You can long tap the hero portrait to bring up the full panel
Sorry... I'm dumb. Great game!
So this game has completely taken over my partner and I's life. Thank you for making such a great game!

Google play buyer. Good game. Might rebuy
Great game! Would love to see it on Steam and Switch! Would love a sequel as well, very well done!

Purchased on Google Play before seeing it on itch. Would definitely re-buy if a Steam release ever happens. Keep up the good work!
I grabbed this game off of Googleplay, it is awesome : D
This weirdly reminds me of dicey dungeons. Here is hoping that full version will make it to ios and switch
Came here hoping for news of a Switch port!
Likewise
oooo it would be a great switch game!

Update: So nice I bought it twice!
I just made it to floor 112 on Cursed mode, with 23 curses... incredible game and it works so well on mobile, thanks for making something so cool!!
This is a great game i've ever played!
When will the ios version release?
You should put this on steam and GOG. Considering how well vampire survivors is doing at $3 this will do well as well. I'd rebuy it on steam tbh.
same! would love to see this on Steam and Switch!
Just played the demo! It was awesome, great work :D
Love the combination of strategy and luck with a game like this - and some really creative designs like the reroll and cantrip

Same here! +1 to all of this :)
Bought it on my phone this morning on my way to work.
No work was done today.
Amazing game guys. Great idea and execution.
Excellent game! Where is the save located? Cheers!
