Hi, I really liked the game and I would like to translate it into Russian.I hope you can give feedback, if you are interested, write to the mail. matvejzlenko6@gmail.com.PS I don't understand coding, I can only translate the game.

(1 edit)

thank you for the offer! I'm not currently planning any localization, but if I need it in the future, I'll let you know

idea:

have the radar 15% bonus change to a bonus based on how far from the radar you are

thank you for the idea!

Such a good game I nearly finished it, lost at level 32. The concept is so good exactly my type of game !! I can’t wait for the full game !! 

thank you, glad you enjoyed it!!

hahah i am HOOKED

so close!!! :D thank you for playing :)

Hey, Amazing game, but I'm a little confused on how the same sticker bonus works. A few of the other things are also a little unclear. I think there should be a easier way to figure that out. Maybe an information page on all combos you've used so far and some of the inner workings like the dice scanner.

thank you for the feedback!! I'll make sure to explain the mechanics better in future versions

Why wont the game run? Running it on interstellar on a Dell Chromebook.

thank you for the feedback! I tested the game on Windows and macOS using chrome based browsers. I will check the game engine to see if there is a known problem

super fun game!! loved the art/mechanics/combos!

thank you! glad you enjoyed it, congrats!!

wow. pro. i see you pick a lot of wizard, but i usually have been passing on it cus it seems low value...UNLESS it gives +3 for EACH symbol inside it's AOE ?!?!

[cus i'm under the impression it gives +3 on spawn and a single + if it hits any symbol]

what have you found to be the strongest symbols/synergy? 11 balls left after lvl 36 is insane. 

(+1)

honestly not entirely sure how the wizard worked, but seemed to give lots of points so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

the best synergy i found was inflation/money printer + all the gold/diamonds etc, basically multiplying point, and frog sticker is pretty op too!

(+1)

I dont think ive ever played a game that had me in such a relaxed state during a video, beautiful game that doesn’t take itself too seriously 

Dive into THIS Super Relaxing Adventure Featuring... Balls Dice and Stickers?

thank you so much for the video!! :)

This is a great game, and it's really rewarding to hit a shot that goes on for a long time. All of the combos and the sheer silliness of it all just adds to the experience. If this gets an early acess on Steam, I'd definitely play it. 

thank you for playing!!

By far one of the most addicting games I've ever played. However, the 15% bonus is just not enough of a boost to justify not using the aim guide. Consistently the guide gives the most consistent points, which makes the hunt for the golden line a bit of a chore, since I'm always gonna pick it. Giving a larger off-guide bonus or just removing the guide entirely might remedy this. Wish it was explained how that guide is calculated. I also wish that I could either speed-up/slow-down time, or just be able to scroll through the point log. But this game has a beautiful, charming retro feel, aesthetically it feels like if Chibi-Robo and Vib-Ribbon had a weird, gambling-addict baby. It has destroyed my morning.

(+1)

thank you so much for the feedback!!

(+2)

you should add a way that i can see how many of my points were scored through each means. right no i just kind of have to hope that what i am doing is working and i want to know which of my combos are worth leaning more in to and which did not work. also if you wanted to you could put how many times the thing was triggered also.

(+1)

thank you for playing and for the idea! I've added it to the checklist

Wishlisted on Steam! Would love for a downloadable client.

thank you for the wishlist!! I'll add a downloadable version soon

(+1)

Love the feedback and global juiciness. It's just fun to watch and listen!

thank you!!

This is a pretty interesting game! :D I like how the base mechanics/rules are simple (throwing balls, rolling dice each time they're hit by the ball and triggering any sticker effects, adding stickers to a die face after each throw), but things get more and more involved with all the sticker effects going off and the potential combos that can be performed.. -u- I even find myself pondering between my throw options sometimes, like trying to hit and roll a singular die multiple times (especially if I really wanna trigger a sticker on it a bunch to score more points) or going for hitting as many dice as possible to get closer to a Dice Scanner bonus! That combined with the bonus for shooting outside from the radar makes things intriguing!

Also, this game has a toooooooon of charm~ :) The tumbling mouse cursor trail, your encouraging words in the action log after every sticker pick (you're like the opposite of Stoat from Inscryption, haha), the characters and how each of them have a circle and an X in their designs (and I just noticed that the circles that accumulate in the character box are eyes that fall off from the characters upon defeating them, woah), your peep at the starting screen giving a thumbs up as the player hovers over the wishlist link, the various scrolling patterns in the background, etc.!

Lastly, if I could give a suggestion: While I can imagine the chaos once you have a heckton of dice, I wonder if it'd be neat to right click a die on the board to have it flash in your dice list, and vice versa (so you can distinguish between dice that have the same faces). (Also regarding the radar, for whatever reason it took me a moment to understand what the tip about it in the log was saying, I didn't pay enough attention to the "center" part of "radar center" ^^; I guess the center of the radar could be marked yellow? Though hopefully it doesn't make the player go "I should shoot from the radar center every time", heheh)

thank you so much for playing and for the detailed feedback! I'm glad you like the game and noticed the small details I put in :D

Love the game!

Legitimately one of the best games I have ever played on itch. I finally created an account just so I can show my final run and express how great this game is. This game is so addicting, keep it up! 

final beat it!

hey!! congrats! thank you for playing, and welcome to itch :)

Chaining lots of combos and watching the effects of the stickers is so much fun and incredibly addictive!
I love seeing humans dance at the disco and happily go home. Stacking up tons of ice cream is the best.
I played while streaming, but I didn’t realize that orange marks appear where the machine considers a good placement.
Also, I didn’t notice there was a continue (≒ save) function!
It seems perfect for playing in short bursts.
The data resets, but since it’s now available on smartphones, I’ll give it a try, meow~! 🐱

thank you so much for the gameplay video!! I'm really glad to hear that you liked it! :)

(+1)

This is so much fun rahh i love it and want to be able to play it offline lol i would somehow be happier if you uploaded a windows build but honestly im surprised my brain has any room for more happiness after playing this extremely fun chaotic game

(+1)

thank you! the downloadable version is on my todo list. I'm currently updating the game to fix some issues, so I'll upload a downloadable version as soon as I have a more stable build

(+1)

My highest was 32 on my 3rd run. Fun and relaxing.

so close! thank you for playing! :)

(+1)

peak gaming right here. not even joking.

thank you! :D

(+1)

this is really nice game mate, it`s really addictive, it has huge potential for more gamemodes or more stickers

thank you for playing!!!

(+1)

love this game. i keeeeeep coming back to it!!! (and dying at lvl 16 lol)

just confirming, there is no way to skip adding a sticker, right? i so wish there was. or at least some mechanic to remove a sticker eventually.

still, 10/10 !

(+1)

thank you!!! yes, currently you can't skip stickers or remove them, but I'll add something similar in a future updates

(+1)

This game is wonderful! I spent around 6 hours on it, got to round 32. A couple of ideas that I had as I played were scaling score per round, and maybe making certain stickers rarer but having multipliers. Not hard asks, just things I thought about. Again, great job! Going on my wishlist

thank you so much for playing and for the great idea! I've added it to the checklist

(+1)

curious, how does the dice scanner work

(+1)

it activates when all the dice on the board are hit. As you hit the dice, their outlines will turn green, and once all of them are green, the scanner will scan them and trigger all of them again. It’s very useful! :D

(+1)

awesome sauce

(1 edit) (+1)

It seems very neat, but can you please make it so we can press a key to put a sticker on the dice side instead of putting it with mouse? When I'm signed in, itch.io puts stuff in the way so I can't click on it. The sounds are very nice.

thank you for playing and for the feedback! I'll check if I can implement something like that. In the meantime, can you please try this direct itch link to the game? It should open the game without any page elements: Balls, Dice & Stickers

(+1)

Yes, it's fine there! I'm gonna play for a while now lol

awesome! :) please give it a 5 star if you like it :P

Yo Bilge! I am very curious, you said in a comment to someone else that the frog is the best sticker, so now i am kinda curious to the top 10 best and worst stickers (if its not too much effort) Also kinda curious to your favourite build, mine is banking on diamonds, gold bars, coins, money, pickaxe and flip coins togheter with the piggybank and money printer. I also love banking on icecream, cigs and bananas for time bonusses. And and and a lot of iron smiths togher with luck items (also i would reccomend chaning the description for the iron smith bc i took me a long time to realise "when luck is needed" meant when the ball hits stickers where the outcome is determined by luck). Anyways i love love love your game! the style is soooo charming, esp love the human sprites, theyre sooo silly i love emmmm <33333 (sorry for the rant i just love love love love love youur gameeee)

hehe thank you so much!! :)

I'm not sure about my top picks, but it seems like your strategy is very similar to mine with money, piggybank, luck related stickers, and the stickers that give points every second. I also avoid killing the frog so it can trigger multiple dice :D

(+1)

At my fourth attempt i finally won!! with four balls left!!!! Yayayayayyayayayayayayayayayay!!!!!!! YAYYY~!!!! This game is awsomeeeee!!!!

thank you for playing and congrats!! :)

We loved your game! It was very colorful and very fun!!!

At first it felt a little overwhelming with so much information being given at once, but it all started to make more sense once I decided to just dive right in and try to figure things out myself! Hahaha

You have a really great game here! If you're looking for any improvements, I imagine a couple of quality of life changes would make a world of difference!

You have a link in the game already that leads to the Steam page to wishlist this game already, so it might be helpful to have a link that might take the player to a page that explains what some items mean or just gives a general idea of what to expect in this game. If you're leaning more towards the idea of having the player learn as they play, you could include an item description page that shows a bunch of "?" blocks that don't get filled in until the player finds the item that correlates with the "?" block in the item description page.

I greatly enjoyed that the ball would speed up after bouncing around for a bit so it never felt like I was waiting too long for the ball to return! You did a great job at making a slow concept move quickly while keeping a lot on the screen to keep my attention!

The different characters the player can come across were a lot of fun! I thought it was a funny to make it so the player can move their cursor over the enemy's portrait to make little hearts appear and that you could throw around the balls in their portraits too! Hahaha

Overall, this was a very charming and incredibly chaotic game! Fantastic work! I'm really excited to see how you continue to improve upon it! Thank you for making this game!

(+1)

it's a super fun video, thank you for playing!! :D Also, that's really detailed feedback, and it will help me a lot. Thank you so much!

(+1)

Great game! I played two rounds, second one much longer and better than a previous one (I discovered the green cone xD)

(+1)

thank you so much for playing and sharing it!! these videos are super helpful as feedback, I'll watch it in the background while working on the game :)

(1 edit) (+1)

It says, "Radar center provides great aim; outside grants +15%." First of all, what's "radar center"? Second, outside of what and where is it? And third, +15% of what? It's a fun game, but I think it needs more context.

thank you for playing and for the feedback! I will definitely need a better method to explain things, and I'll fix this in future updates

I lost at level 28. worst feeling of my life,

level 28 is still really good! thank you for playing :)

(+1)

cool game but i was wondering about some of the mechanics

thank you!! if you have any questions please let me know

(+1)

This game is fun, but I'm not quite sure how it works...

thank you for playing! :)

You hit the dice with the ball, this gives you points totalling the number of pips shown on the dice you've hit, after each hit the die is rerolled. After your ball has fallen you get to upgrade any given "regular" die face to a new custom face. The custom die faces all have a value that you always get when you hit them directly(green) and some that occur when synergizing with already present items(which are spawned by the custom faces) as the die is hit(orange). When you reach the point total in the corner the round ends and you get a new default die(along with six new balls). 

You win by picking faces that synergize well together and by picking paths that hit many dice. The game suggests a "best path" in the middle of the green arch which lights up, however because you get a point bonus for shooting outside the arch you should still look around and see for yourself which is best.

I suggest not picking so many explosion faces as they destroy things which otherwise give points.

ah, ok. Thanks!

This is a good game. I beat it, it gave me dopamine when detective went brrr, which I really needed atm.

Here is a picture of lvl 13 done in one round:


Consider doing this if you would like to win the game. :).

also, I love your nickname and avatar :D

I was able to beat the game by using all of the money based stickers! My score was 61491 with 5 balls left over
