Armorer's "Shield 1 smith" ability's base 1 shield doesn't stack properly with the Brute's 2 selfshield from "2 damage selfshield".
Steps:
1) Use "Shield 1 smith" on Brute, Brute gains 1 shield, +1 to "2 damage selfshield".
2) Use "2 damage selfshield" (now became a "3 damage selfshield") on enemy.
What I expect to happen is:
Brute gains base +1 shield, and a +1 to the "2 damage selfshield", so after Brute uses it, Brute should do 3 damage and have a total of (1+3 = 4) shield.
Instead, what actually happens is:
Enemy takes 3 damage, Brute ends up with 2 shield total.
The +2 selfshield replaces the earlier base 1 shield the Brute gained from "Shield 1 smith", resulting in a total 2 shield.
Not only should the additional selfshield be added rather than replace the existing shield, since "smith" is defined as " +1 to damage and shield sides this turn", shouldn't the Brute's "2 damage selfshield" just get boosted for everything, including selfshield amount, when it gains a +1 from smith? Since the whole point of that side is that it's a simultaneous increase to both damage and shield.
so unless I have some 3rd party program installed, I have to pay again if I want it on my phone? Or am I just dumb and everyone who purchased it already beat the crap out of the boss on their phone? some help guys.
You probably have the play store version installed. You can’t update between itch/google play. Uninstall the one you have first (you will lose progress, copy your achievements first)
I love Slice and Dice and I've been playing it off and on for the past year on my phone. I am so glad to see it's still seeing updates, but I would just like to say that I wish I could turn off portrait mode altogether. I don't like it, and I normally use my phone in locked orientation so I have to unlock my orientation to get out of portrait mode and it's a bit awkward.
Bought the game a while ago, fantastic game! Came back here to get the new update but Avast thinks there is malware attached to it. Some Java malware, should I be afraid? And if not, how do I download then
Hello there, I just played through the demo and fell on love, but was quite sad when I saw the pricetag :(, the lack of regional pricing (I'm in turkey) makes it a really hard purchase for me, since 350TL is quite big
If you ever plan on adding regional pricing for Google play store I'd love to both support you and enjoy the game one day <3
I have a question. I have already purchased the itch.io version over a year ago, but i really want to download it on my iPhone. Do i have to pay for it again in the appstore? Does anyone know?
Click on "Buy Now" on this page (the Itch io page), press "I already paid for this" and follow the instruction on the page it brings you to (and when you can finally download the game again, of course download the .apk file so you can install on your phone)
Edit: Theres also the Itch io launcher thing that might help, but im not very familiar with it so im unsure
I downloaded the new version but it closes itself after opening and seeing loading screen. I tried to re-download it and it still does it. Do you have any solutions?
Amazing to have this addictive gem on iOS (I happily repurchased it). Q: would it be a lot of work to add the ability to share game state data between the iPhone and iPad versions (via iCloud)? Would be lovely to be able to move back & forth between them with one's achievements, etc. Thanks.
I tried downloading the game again, and it gets about 25% and then just cancels the download everytime, saying File wasn't available on site, is there anything you can help me with here?
you can tag files to have extra cost, usually for offering DLCs.
You could change it so the Android version costs extra and set the base price down again, it feels wrong that the itch version is more expensive than all the others. Especially since you get a bigger share here (unless otherwise selected, standard is 10% cut from itch, whereas Steam takes 30%).
Wow the best news of the week! Incredible game, the masterpiece of balance and replaying. Although I still can't get streak 2 on Classic Unfair... Thank you Tann!
Awesome v3 update! Would love to see an option added allowing you to lock to landscape so you don't have to do the song and dance of unlocking your phone orientation
Oh thanks! I finally got round to researching this and found the same thing as you. Sorry about the alerts, I may try to include a different JRE at some point to avoid this.

is the enemy a spiker because i have a hunch that you didnt see the enemy's 2 damage to attackers passive
Nope. If the Brute took 2 damage, it would be a different result. I tested it a couple times on different enemies.
I'm getting an error while trying to install the game.
The file seems to error while trying to make the directory (mkdir): slice-dice\jre\lib\images
Even if I manually make the directory the error persist.
Same here
same
Any fix as of yet?
so unless I have some 3rd party program installed, I have to pay again if I want it on my phone? Or am I just dumb and everyone who purchased it already beat the crap out of the boss on their phone? some help guys.
Same here cannot install full version on my Android
You probably have the play store version installed. You can’t update between itch/google play. Uninstall the one you have first (you will lose progress, copy your achievements first)
At the end I did it. Don't know why wasn't working, I tried to uninstall multiple times.
I don’t understand your question.
If you bought the game on Itch, you already own both the PC and Android versions.
If you want the iOS version, you need to buy it from the App Store.
yeah it’s ipad so I guess I have to buy one. Thanks though.
Can I access the iOS ipa somehow? I'd like to play it on my iphone, I recently switched from android...
The game looks interesting. I didn't have it on my radar so far.
Are you planning to upload the Linux version here on Itch, too?
I love Slice and Dice and I've been playing it off and on for the past year on my phone.

Hell yeah. I've been looking forward to this update for months. Slice & Dice is one of the best indie games I've played this decade. ❤️🔥

I believe you do (or I did anyway) but imho it's easily worth another $9 for a such surprisingly deep game (and supporting this indie developer). 2c.
Click on "Buy Now" on this page (the Itch io page), press "I already paid for this" and follow the instruction on the page it brings you to (and when you can finally download the game again, of course download the .apk file so you can install on your phone)

For real. I can't download the game either. I dunno what to do. Being this way till yesterday....
for me it turned out to be my antivirus blocking it, disabling it just for the download worked.
Can we get a Steam key for older purchases?
Music is awesome. Want to listen to these tracks outside of the game. Have they been published somewhere else?
Hey tann,
you can tag files to have extra cost, usually for offering DLCs.
You could change it so the Android version costs extra and set the base price down again, it feels wrong that the itch version is more expensive than all the others. Especially since you get a bigger share here (unless otherwise selected, standard is 10% cut from itch, whereas Steam takes 30%).
Hope this helps! :)
VERY GOOD!
Wow the best news of the week! Incredible game, the masterpiece of balance and replaying. Although I still can't get streak 2 on Classic Unfair... Thank you Tann!
amazing game, would love if there was an option to hide the blinking of pips (the extra ones from keywords like pristine when youre on full hp)
Phenomenal update, can’t wait to explore all the new content !!
If you are trying to play on Linux, try running this terminal command when you are in the extracted folder:
java -jar dice.jar
Oh sorry, Windows 11. Updater didn't work.
if we purchased here is there anyway to get a steam copy?
are there any ways to download, stream, or purchase this game's new soundtrack?
this update is dope
You're the best for this update. This game is truly a master work - you have my utmost gratitude for many, many hours of fun & frustration.
I don't recall being unable to roll dice when they're aligned (you need to click reroll twice to actually reroll). Is this new?
Either way, love seeing an update! Take as much time as you guys need, game is great as is! <3
I do remember it always being like that. I never used it because that was (is) annoying
Thanks! Glad to hear I was just misremembering it.
edit: In 2.0, you can align the dice then click reroll (once) to have them all re-roll. No need to double click, like you do currently.
Hm, I may be remembering something else then. Like, you had to de-align the dice to select them, or something along those lines
Is there an accessibility option to right click equivalent on Mac without a mouse?
options/ui/smartphone controls. Click and hold for right-click.thanks!
Awesome v3 update! Would love to see an option added allowing you to lock to landscape so you don't have to do the song and dance of unlocking your phone orientation
Yep! Downloading from the website and installing that way seems to have turned the trick! Give it a shot!
Seems more promising installing from a browser than the itch app.
Having trouble getting my crack fix going on PC, seems I'm not the only one. Would be pretty sweet tho.
I can't install the game after this update. It fails every time trying to find a file called images in the jre/lib folder
does this auto update when i launch? i bought it when 2.0 came out and i didnt have an itch.io account so i cant see if there is an update file
Doesnt auto update. When you purchased, did you perhaps get an email to a download link? I'm just making a guess, but that might work
Same here let me know if you suceed to update it to 3.0
It seems Steam has a Linux version, will we be able to get that version here?
Hi all, just tried to download the windows version and my antivirus is saying there is a virus (exploit):
Java:CVE-2013_0422-BG
Any ideas?
Same here, any help?
Please =)
its a security issue in java (the programming language the game was written in).
it only affects servers and not standalone apps, so its safe to ignore.
see https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/alert-cve-2013-0422.html
Oh thanks! I finally got round to researching this and found the same thing as you. Sorry about the alerts, I may try to include a different JRE at some point to avoid this.
no worries, thanks for making this awesome update!
always wanted it on iphone. :)
have you managed to build a java wrapper for ios or did you have to build it from the ground up?
