how to play:

Roll the dice to fight each boss. The damage dealt depends on the dice results. You can re-roll a few dice per round. But beware, the opponent does the same! After defeating the boss, you can swap one die with the opponent. There are different dice, try to collect the best ones! Roll combos to get bonuses.

controls:

• x: X on keyboard
• o: C on keyboard
• use arrow keys to select dice and options

about:

• made in about 24h for the GMTK Jam 2022
• made with pico-8
• made by saturn91 and EinsteinsErbe

Nicely done!
I do not find it very difficult to beat, but I find the game rules interesting, and I like the graphics.

I'm finding this fairly complex, @Saturn91. Is it more important to have higher valued dice or matching patterns ? This is where I'm getting stuck.

You mainly want a double pair, or a sequence to deal damage and heal at the same time.

I find myself prioritizing patterns over high value dice. On a good pattern, I don't even reroll, except if the boss as a really damaging hand I want to break.

If you're lucky, four of a kind is instant win.

@dw8q7

As @jneda pointed out you should pioritize patterns.
A pair heals you, 3 of the same deals damage and heals, 4 of the same is an insta kill. A street does a lot of damage.

None of the above just deals damage based on the eye count ;)

We got overall placed 960/6000th in the game makers tool kit :D

Loved it but get all greens

Love all the references
