I am thinking a lot about this... It's complex because then people might start planning out everything, seeing how they do with best ordering, going back and rerolling based on that. I'm not sure that's the sort of gameplay I want to promote.

What about something simple like just a double tap to confirm when done rolling? Button lights up when you tap it once, then second tap initiates. That way if you accidentally hit it once, should be no big deal, but doesn't allow undo summing.

Great game by the way!

I've been trying to do the "beat normal in 45min" challenge in Slice & Dice, it's somehow tougher than the ones where you beat it on hard because I feel like I have to make super quick decisions about dice being good enough and who to attack first and which characters can be sacrificed. It's awesome, I love this game, and I can't stop playing it.

It's a perfect day for some mayhem!


So, playing Slice & Dice last night and my pot-addled brain might have had a decent idea for a Campaign mode.

Basically account level "skill" points earned for beating level 20 on any mode. Maybe a limit on easy/normal/custom 10/20/20 points to prevent easy farming. Then for campaign mode, (which is probably just Cursed with extra stuff), points can be spent per character or per specific class. For a couple of points you can remove a level 2 class from a class's upgrade pool, so you can just avoid ever having Gambler come up. For a couple more you could remove another level 2 class from the same pool. Similarly, but more expensive, the class 3 pool, etc. Or for a specific character have "+1 to all top dice", that sort of thing.

More expensive upgrades would be things like 'always start with X item', with the cost going up both for specific items and having multiple items from the same 'group' (attack/shield/health/mana/right/left/middle), or start with a specific boon. You could even do some REALLY specific boons only in this mode like "Skip the 2nd curse every cycle" or "Slimelings have -1 health" or "Caw's only retreat after the 2nd hit each round" or "-1 to all Sniper Dice the first round of combat" or "The 2nd miniboss is never the witches"

It'd be a GIANT pain in the rear end from a UI standpoint, and then you'd have some items that are part of 4 different groups so organization would be a bitch and a half too... but being able to cobble together a more optimal party and nerfing your least favorite enemy type or just go hog wild with the +1 To All Mana Sides ring from stage one would also be rad.

And, yes, I accept that this is crazy talk and the amount of work I'm talking about is probably going to turn the campaign mode into a paid DLC, but, whatever, it's fine.

Slice and Dice is great unless you have legendary bad rolls to the point where your nickname in your old tabletop circles was "The Legendary One" because of how many ones you rolled!

I did not like it during the soft launch. It comes off well, but soon you hit just another netmarble mobile game but this time with the added bonus you need to auto-run places!

Slice and dice is amazing. Taking over my time spent on slay the spire.

Is there a way to send feedback? Two things I've noticed:
1. I usually tap and hold for more info. BUT that doesn't work when selecting a reward. It just gives you what you tapped with no undo available. Burned me a couple times now

2. I bumped up the UI zoom and sometime the dice is covered by the mana count. Can usually get an edge to select the dice but wanted to flag.

Loving the game though. I got an hour less sleep than I should have last night because I couldn't put it down.

All of the possible info is listed on the rewards without needing to click on them.

As far as weird bugs and stuff, I had a die roll and get caught on an enemy placard and get stuck leaning on it, had to restart the game since the die wouldn't "land"

It's also a force of habit. I find myself automatically clicking and holding. Would just be nice to have the undo button. Also an ability to view my character skills before choosing an item would be nice.

E: but seriously I'm sitting here playing it right now. I really enjoy it.

You can press the Inventory button on the bottom left on that same item screen, makes it easy to review existing items and if your dudes have any engage/deathwish/pain/etc.

Unlocking Custom just requires selecting 50% of classes. Doesn't require a win.

I'm in Picross Valhalla. I got the Konami one, and I'm only 16% through it, thinking "All classic gaming icons. Neat!". Then I got Picross S for the Switch, and wow, that's polished (even just the first one, and I've heard the later ones are even more polished).

And THEN I picked up Nonograms Katana and :tviv: this is VERY extensive and I love it.

I will solve them all. :black101:

Been playing Mech Arena for a couple weeks here and there and holy poo poo the paywall is crazy. One of the worst monetization models I've seen. Ranking up "unlocks" new mechs and weapons, but to actually build or equip them, you have to spend in game or premium currency. The amounts needed are absolutely absurd. The new missile launcher I got will cost me $15, or another year of grinding. The new mech would cost $25, or a couple more weeks of saving credits and spending nothing on upgrading my gear or mechs.

Of course, im regularly facing people with all of this expensive and powerful poo poo. Stay away from this heap.
