To Dice with Death
Bugs
A very fun bug that was definitely my fault was the inability to roll a nat 20 on the d20.
I would swear it cheated me out of what really, really looked like a 20... But other than that, a lot of fun. A neat take on resource allotment.

The dice where programmed with a table of gameobjects of the text models relating to the number they represented, then found the one pointing furthest upward when selecting a number. This worked great, as long as you remembered to fill in the table for every number. The d20 had no such entry for 20.
Reviews
I could spend eternity just flicking the dice around, I loved how polished everything is! Wicked fun game and premise

best game I've played on this jam so far! It's creative, charming, and fun. It has a gameplay loop that makes it last longer than most games on this jam. I'd definitely love to see this turned into a full-fledged game with a story!

Cool concept, very funny and witty writing. I liked the inclusion of different types of dice, that allows for this push-your-luck moments, when you decide to put just one d20 on the card and hope for the best. I like the background as well, dying and dealing with Death chores is fun and creative idea. Nice job!

Post Jam
After the jam was up and voting had finished, we did a little polishing work, adding some post process effects, fixing the above bugs, and adding more dice varieties.
