READY YOU BETS! THE FIGHT IS STARTING!

Dragon fighting may not be moral, but it sure is easy money if you plan your moves right.

Plan your moves well, as randomness can be a bitch. Attack, Defend and Heal by rolling dice and choosing where to allocate the values. Once you have your plan, execute it and see it unfold in real time.

Theme

RNG in planning :(, also you don't do any "Execute" yourself

You can only plan, there is no actual execution.

It is interesting. Not that much different from a regular card fight game.

I ge the idea but i can only plan ahead somuch when i dont evne know what dice im getting.

The theme is wide and i think it matches it

Really well executed on the theme.

Enjoyment

Very polished for a gamejam in UX, but pretty bland and text-heavy

Nice mechanics. I liked to play that, no major bugs.

At the beginning it was interesting, but I was fighting with the AI for ~10 minutes and none of us got close to victory. Could just have been bad luck. There is really no variation in the cards, which also reduces the enjoyment and makes the game feel tedious if it lasts for a long time. With much more cards this could be very interesting, e.g you activating a spell card that might require even 3 dice slots. There was also a lot of missfortune on my side. For more than half the rounds I couldn't even trigger some category's card special.

For me there was something missing to keep me playing for a longer period of time.

I did not grasp the idea after playing it few times, i am still a bit confused, takes a little time

It's kind of confusing in the beginning and the game really dragged on. I didn't understand what consequences my actions had.

Aesthetics

not bad

Polish is very good but I get the feeling you've polished up some things that would have been better removed...

Looks nice but it's boring to play

Nice art, audio fitted well. Should emphasize better, who is enemy and who is player (dragon fight). Could be useful to see own stats, I think the counter showed difference, if I'm correct, but then the "enemy"-text is misleading

It looks really good and the sfx is nice! The music gets repetitive after a while.

I can see that there has been but a lot of time into the art for this game and i would say it already looks like a game that i could see in the steam store.

It all matches. Feels familiar and cozy, nice to look at

Absolutely stunning! Really pretty! Outstanding work!

Innovation

Haven't played much different games, but this was quite new for me.

The dice mechanic is quite interesting indeed, compared to your usual mana points. Having randomness however might make the battle quite one sided without much control over it.

seen a lot of game that use dice/random number for actions and this looks like safe/small spin on that.

Tabletop games can be tricky to do and reinvent. This game is definitely something new to me.

It's your standard DnD type game. a little confusing

Bonus

It really looks very good and it feels polished. Nice dice mechanics!

Bonus points for making the look like it has already realised.

Really liked the style and I will give you extra points for that
