Hi! I made a game called Slice & Dice with pixel art from a3um. It took me way too long to code and I'm still working on it. It's a roguelike tactics dice game with too much content. Simple turn-based combat, infinite undo, dumb combos to discover.   iOS https://apps.apple.com/es/app/slice-dice/id6449848963?l=en-GB Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/1775490/Slice__Dice/ Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.com.tann.dice itch https://tann.itch.io/slice-dice There's a Discord server too.

Nighthand posted:Is there any way to tell which custom parties you've won with? No, sorry. I'm thinking of removing the unlock from that achievement for the next version tbh. Maybe some pointless trophy shelf for weird/annoying achievements I don't want to force players to do!

cirus posted:Engage shields hardly ever work on higher difficulties. May need to be adjusted I'm buffing engage shields by buffing start-damaged so people don't pick it every time  Copying someone's roll is cool but it messes with saves unfortunately... plus it's quite similar to the re-use dice ability. It used to be in the game and it was cool to copy a dodge side!

Concurred posted:any chance for a colorblind mode or option? I've been thinking about this. Non-colourblind people get to experience the pain in custom party mode! You can at least find out which hero they are by tapping the dice.

We'll see, I have some plans for a generic anti-cheese thing to use for this and other things. Hopefully you'll be able to get them somehow in all modes.

CainFortea posted:So, does cursed mode count a replaced curse in the total? Like if I had the one that heals the most damaged mob by 1, and then immediately replaced it with the one that heals it by 2, does that mean I have 2 curses or 1 curse now? I'm not sure exactly what you mean. The curse upgrades and overrides the old effect, they get healed by 2 total if you have the upgrade. The crossed-out one counts for that one achievement that references number of curses?

Grondoth posted:I wish you had some more time with a maxed out party, but that's just how I always feel with roguelike games. It's why I like RoR2 so much, cause you can just push it and laugh as your absurd combination works long past you being able to keep track, until you just suddenly die or something. Yeah I'd like to do this! I had some testing levels 21-24 with ridiculous item rewards and enemies but it needed more polish. Plus I need to figure out some way of triggering them though because I don't want it to be part of the "core experience". (also stop the easy sorcerer infinite!) Photux posted:I wish the Unfair curse choices were a little more balanced. I'm working on this at the moment. I'm trying to rebalance and combine all the curses so I can offer a random selection for unfair; "Choose curses to a total value of 15" or something.

Canuckistan posted:Do you also get access to the Windows installers when you unlock the full game in-app? You can download an apk if you buy on itch, not the other way around though. People are asking about steam keys too, I haven't decided this all yet. @Raine @eonblue174 Yes! I agree with some of these, and am working on various hopefully fun stuff. Though maybe not exactly what you're hoping for Raine posted:the blessings you get for completing a loop aren't good enough to balance this This is on purpose, I want curse mode to get harder over time. Though I have made it easier to create new modes so I could add some easy infinite play mode? I don't really have infinite content though lol.

Farquar posted:Are you sure it didn't petrify after it hit, by striking a basilisk? nice debugging  Canuckistan posted:- No OP runs yet. I assume better unlocks come with time after playing. I mostly lock complicated items, not powerful ones. Or sometimes simple ones if it's a funny link with what you do for the achievement. I'm rebalancing soon so I have been thinking about altering early item power levels. It's tricky though, you're already pretty godlike by the final fight hehe. I have the combining thing in my ideas list somewhere, the challenge reward thing was partially getting stuff set up for that sort of choice.

Photux posted:How many achievements are there, including secret achievements? My stats say 49/49 achievements, but I don't know if there is a secret achievement I'm missing that would bring it up to 50/50. You got them all, congrats on the unfair streak! I haven't quite figured out what to do with achievements; I like each achievement unlocking "something", plus I like random achievements that notice a cool thing that happened rather than something to try for. I want to add more weird secret achievements that unlock something stupid/minor but I think this might annoy completionists...

I do feel like the classes that give mana are more useful in general, though maybe I'm just bad at using the others. Yeah, I think blue classes are slightly more powerful than others. Plus they combo with each-other quite well; lots of mana, lots of spells to choose from.

I'm still working on it, adding a lot of new heroes/items/etc. Plus sometimes a new mode when I get a silly idea. (Start with 10 heroes at level 10, only levelups, no items) I don't know exactly when I'll release an update; I'm not a good planner.

someone awful. posted:Hey there's this equipment called Change of Heart that replaces all your healing sides with shield sides, retaining their keywords. But when it changes a heal+mana side into a shield, it loses the mana generation property. Is that on purpose, or a bug? That is correct according to the text on the item IMO. Although after the update, that side will have the "mana-gain" keyword so it will work how you want it to, whenever I release it!

Just added a fun feature Pasteable fight snapshots, managed to minify enough to fit in a tweet. You get to play on from there to the end of the level. Maybe useful for.. - Help I'm going to die what do I do? - Check out this cool turn 1 boss kill - Here's a level I created, try to beat it

Insurrectionist posted:Just recently found this game, it's really fun. Although the free version seems a little easy, I was able to finish all the difficulties past normal on my first try. Congrats if you beat demo-unfair on your first try. If I ever release this update it will have an "Hell" difficulty level, though that's mostly intended for some weird modes that make the game easier in other ways. I've been getting a few complaints about failed Google Play purchases recently. It could be an intermittent issue at Google, if it's not my terrible code

Save data is stored globally, not in the game directory. The demo is the same as the full game but you can only access one "mode".

If you bought on itch, the files are here https://tann.itch.io/slice-dice. For play store it's more complicated (and buggy, oops!).

I'm getting "can't cast spells from defeated heroes" after reviving Venom with Operate Submit a bug report in-game if you are in a bugged battlestate and I'll take a look. Venom doesn't have any spells though, did they have a spell item?

Fun to read the discussion, spellblade is quite polarising on discord too. The reason I changed them was to make the colour-identity a bit stricter, which also affects generated heroes. There's so much more stuff in the game, it's likely I have the balance of some keywords a bit off. The algorithm for copycat is currently "as good as having cleave".

Maybe it is a bit harder, I used a different system for balancing this time. There's also >100 blessings available on easy mode now. You don't really get anything for winning on harder difficulties (except unlocking even harder stuff) so just play whichever thing you find most fun.
