don’t know how it took me so long to try this game, this is exactly my jam and it’s super fun! feels like the first time i played slay the spire. music is awesome too, somehow simultaneously unsettling and funky… much like the scented hole.
only feedback that comes to mind is i kept wondering where the end of the game would be, was there a map or a progress meter somewhere that i missed? fighting a boss on floor 20 and then getting scripted deathed on floor 25 was pretty surprising (not a bad thing necessarily).
I think perhaps the concept of repetition isn't necessarily about difficulty, but with how there is sufficient variety to keep it engaging. Case in point: The Legend of Zelda - Breath of the Wild with those Korok seeds... people finished the game and considered the very boring grind to be part of the gameplay. Should one really call that content? Aren't games meant to be fun?
I get your point. From my perspective, repetition is more about action than content.
so you can really turn the content into something really fun, exciting or less painful.
I didn't play the game you mentioned, thus I don't have much things to say about it, but if players keep doing exactly the same things while grinding, well it's not a surprise that content will get boring eventually.
trying difficult, not logical or even not possible things might enhance the joy&experience you will get from the content.
I like to add some spice&sauce to my meal, you know.
thanks for the tip. I thought it was about run-time and I was trying to finish the game under 25 minutes which is quite impossible without area-damage die I guess. Do you think 10k+ is possible though? like we stayed above 20 health and finished the game under let's say 20-25 minutes.
This game is the only way I get through some of my classes. Kinda like a super auto pets vibe. Pretty much just constant dopamine hits. Get started, get strong, die in the dungeon, do it all again.
I just now played the game with sound (i play in school so it's usually on mute [i used headphones]) and the audio sounds so randomly generated it's insane
I just got a weird visual glitch on phase one of the frog boss fight (not endless) where the frog's health said 50 and was still yellow the entire fight, but it's health still went down. It fixed itself after the dialog. Great game btw. If I could get steam, I would download it.
Finally I beat this game! might be my favorite roguelike that I've played on itch. I loved everything about this game and I'm super excited for full version!
I made it to a boss (the boss?) and had a lovely time the whole time. It really nailed the best parts of roguelikes, including the rollercoaster of "WOW I'm owning this game SO HARD...... oops the boss kicked my butt, but now I know what I'm doing for next time!" The additional die effects (like "heavy" and "hollow") were my favorites, and I'm hyped to buy the full version when it's done (it's already wishlisted)!
I absolutely LOVE thsi game! It has a lot going for it and overall it's just very satisfying to play, along with the pressure of not having the right dice or the right moves. Keep up the good work!!!

gonna try again soon!
game broke :(
one lucky run. everything just went perfect, couldn't get any better.
hollow + grow is a great combination btw.
nice
this is my best
pretty good. looks like lowest hp is the only issue here.
oh thats what I had wrong thx
how is it going? did you get 10k?
That's a solid deck, but yeah, avoiding damage on floors 3-8 is pretty dependent on luck.
exactly.
especially the enemies spawn in early and late game play a big role for perfect run.
great run, congrats.
it seems run-time(max 30 minutes) and lowest hp(20) are what matter most. turns taken doesn't play much role here.
i love the lore ngl its so cute and dark
i finally got to endless mode :)
Amazing Game! Love the idea!
No mobile?
It runs in the mobile browser perfectly
I meant for download.
Not that I am aware, but what is wrong with just playing the browser version? It runs perfectly.
I can't play it without wifi
SMITING FOES AND RIBBITING HOES!
it will never be enough
update
Consider the following:
Love the mechanics. I only wish it was longer and maybe there was a bit more story/progression
what do you mean longer lol after winning four times its literally endless
In endless mode you can unlock new dice not available below level 25 through new events.
Fun for a few hours, but gets repetitive.
you can add some challenges like getting S rank, or winning the game without healing, or winning the game under 25 minutes etc.

best game on itch.io
This is ridiculously fun!!
I highly recommend one of the best itch.io games I have ever played.
my first try score.
I beat the bee and got 23 floors in. Died because I didn't get any heal dice :( proud of this run though
The illusion of choice
S with 9800. I wonder if 10k+ point is possible or not
S with 9900, and I don't think 10k is possible at all.
I got 10,000 once. Posted further below about it. You need to stay above 20 health.

finally, thank you again.
Amazing!
thanks!
true perfection has been achieved
thanks!
I think run-time can still be improved. let's see how better we can get.
It's so hard but fun and incredibly addicting. 10/10 would recommend.

I BEAT THE FROG
I just now played the game with sound (i play in school so it's usually on mute [i used headphones]) and the audio sounds so randomly generated it's insane
I honestly cannot play this game with its sound&music lol. I have to mute it most of the time.
It took me almost 3 months to get to this point, but, good gravy, was it ever an enjoyable journey!
As I mentioned on my work account on Reddit, I will gladly buy the full version as soon as I have my own PC that I can install Steam onto.
I did it
I just got a weird visual glitch on phase one of the frog boss fight (not endless) where the frog's health said 50 and was still yellow the entire fight, but it's health still went down. It fixed itself after the dialog. Great game btw. If I could get steam, I would download it.

This game is a masterpiece. but can you add a rare upgrade for the boost dice that would multiply instead of add?
something like honey die from floor 20?
that would be good
Is it possible to play Endless Mode on the website version?
Yup.
I literally did that exact same thing except I had an attack/heal dice so I simultaneously ko'd it and full healed at the same tim
got to floor 18. 5 star game
Who's this??? Lol
goofy ah roach
that is an eyelash bug
10/10 5 stars
I absolutely LOVE thsi game! It has a lot going for it and overall it's just very satisfying to play, along with the pressure of not having the right dice or the right moves. Keep up the good work!!!
