### 4/5 — Super cool game

*2026-04-28, version 2.44.0*

The concept for this game is very unique, and the game is incredibly fun. It is however super buggy, but perhaps that will get resolved in time, as it is a relatively new game

### 2/5 — Was good for about two mins

*2025-11-04, version 2.44.0*

I just wanted to spam away and watch a number grow. Which it did until I got an “upgrade” that rolled a die and one that goes up every time you roll it but it slowed it down by a lot. I read the description of the “upgrade but it made little sense and now the game feels slow due to everything re-rolling all the time. Just not satisfying🤷‍♂️.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2025-10-06, version 2.44.0*

Such a simple a satisfying game design! Roll Dice. Get Dopamine. Couldn’t be more accurate! And totally free, you can play the game endlessly with no ads, or pay to get access to some more modes. Bless your heart developer!

### 5/5 — Best Take on Incremental Games I’ve Seen

*2025-09-08, version 2.44.0*

This game solves my two major issues with incremental games. The first is that this game is a lot more strategic, as your score does not automatically go up, but only when you roll the die. This allows you to go at your own pace, as fast or slow as you like. The second improvement is the upgrades. Most incremental games upgrades are just “more points per click”, and while that is still somewhat true here, there are so many different kinds of buffs to choose from that have synergies with one another. It’s more like a deck builder than an incremental game. Thus, I would describe the game as an incremental dice builder.

### 4/5 — 面白いけど...

*2025-07-28, version 2.44.0*

日本語が無い

### 4/5 — Good, but has it’s limitations

*2025-07-26, version 2.44.0*

The reason I gave it 4 is that you need to PAY for the other modes. It really bugs me when you can only play the ‘campaign’ of sorts. I just want to have an infinitely long game with all the items but sadly you had to make it P2P.

### 4/5 — Try it out!

*2025-07-26, version 2.44.0*

The concept is super good. Some of the rules are a bit complex. The UI pretty clunky. All in all fun though.

### 3/5 — Good but Some Recommendations

*2025-07-25, version 2.44.0*

It looks like this was made but one guy, so in that regard it is quite good. However, as a fellow amateur game dev, I have to encourage you to fix the UI and UX. The game isn’t easy to understand and is not intuitive. It’s got a formula there, but it needs a little work.

### 5/5 — Peak

*2025-07-24, version 2.44.0*

If you like minmaxing, you’ll like this game.

### 5/5 — Great game with very nice mechanics

*2025-07-20, version 2.44.0*

Heya! This game is a very nice game is it lets you just roll dice to score points, and you can get some upgrades along the way. The game has great mechanics, nice graphics, it’s easy to understand, and has leaderboards for all sorts of weekly challenges. There are also no ads, and “PAY 1 DOLLAR TO GET 1,000,000 POINTS”, so you know everyone on the leaderboards are actually doing good. There is only one 4 dollar purchase, and it’s for a premium version, which is definitely worth the money. It also unlocks custom, so you can make your own challenges! Great game overall, excited for August’s update!

### 5/5 — 26th place in free leaderboard

*2025-06-23, version 2.43.0*

This game is addictive and all about strategy. I love it!

### 5/5 — Fun and dumb

*2025-03-27, version 2.40.2*

Great toilet game

### 5/5 — ggs1_1

*2025-03-18, version 2.40.2*

I’ve become addicted, I don’t care about anything except getting top 100. All I need is one more run where I add 800 billion to my record…

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-03-17, version 2.40.2*

The game is very cool but it’s extremely complicated or maybe I’m just bad anyways it’s really confusing what the words mean but I’m also dumb😬😬

### 3/5 — Fun but not Satisfying

*2025-03-04, version 2.40.1*

Yes numbers go up but there is a lot more to be desired. Very rarely did I feel like my run was satisfying. I wish there was more agency in dice position, more opportunities to make compounding numbers (not just increasing primes by 100% and hoping you get +Prime Dice in the shop). Really frustrating and every run just ends up being the same hope to get the only couple of builds that get compounding score.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-02-11, version 2.35.5*

Easy to play , hard to master. The intricacies of this game is next level. Major props!

### 1/5 — Paid versions a scam

*2026-05-19, version 2.44.0*

Paid for the full version to play the “custom” game mode labelled “freely experiment with dice” to which I find out none of the options are truly customizable, amount of dice, power ups, starting factors, amount of rolls you can have etc none of it is actually customizable.  You’re just paying for the classic version to be unlocked for a second time.  I thought the game was fun until now, now I’m incredibly unhappy with it

### 1/5 — User interface issues

*2026-02-03, version 2.44.0*

While playing the game you can’t swipe to side to upgrade but 20-30% of the time. Why isn’t there a simple button on the bottom. Quite infuriating made me uninstall.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-12-16, version 2.44.0*

Stupid

### 1/5 — Boring

*2025-07-19, version 2.44.0*

Boring concept, terrible execution. Not fun. Not satisfying. 1/10 do not play, unless you like boring games.

### 1/5 — Truly awful

*2025-01-02, version 2.15.4*

After playing this confusing and pointless game once, it went to the stats screen and it wouldn’t let me out!  I couldn’t play anymore. This game literally destroys brain cells - avoid at all costs!!!

### 1/5 — The game was fun but not anymore.

*2024-12-19, version 2.15.4*

The game was fun until I had so many dice I had to zoom in to see to add an upgrade. Then when trying to scroll to see what dice I wanted to upgrade it registered a rogue tap and completely ruined a full dice of 99 with *50 top right multipliers on each face. A confirmation pop up for mobile users before applying upgrades would be nice. Have the option to turn it off for those that don’t want it. I closed out of the game and really don’t want to keep playing know it would happen again.

### 1/5 — Fun Game, bad UI

*2024-09-30, version 2.15.4*

Fun game but the swiping mechanic is SO bad. Half the time it registers a tap instead of a swipe. Just put arrows to go to the next screen..

### 1/5 — Unable to upgrade shop to level 2

*2024-07-10, version 2.15.4*

I pay 500 to upgrade, I get two dice, but don’t have access to the other upgrades

### 1/5 — What am I doing?

*2024-06-12, version 2.15.4*

I tried this game and apparently you touch the die, it rolls a number and you just keep doing that forever. I still have no idea how this is a game.

### 1/5 — False charge

*2024-03-10, version 2.15.4*

I love this game but I am seriously confused as to why a $3.99 upgrade charged my card $7.47. I have no issue paying $7.47 but advertise it as such. I am getting a refund and never using this app again. You cannot charge a different amount than advertised.

### 5/5 — Best game

*2026-07-22, version 2.44.0*

Cured my cancer

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2026-07-15, version 2.44.0*

No ads, calming music, calming sounds, no bright flashy visuals… it’s a wonderful game I love to use to help me relax. Thank you for making this! <3

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-04-24, version 2.44.0*

Fun to play, no ads, don’t have to spend $$. 10/10

### 5/5 — It is insane that this is free

*2026-04-07, version 2.44.0*

100/10, no notes, perfection, and at the low low price of free, you too can gamble in a game that compares with even the likes of balatro. Bravo!

### 5/5 — Absolute blast

*2026-03-23, version 2.44.0*

Amazing idea. 0 ads. Exactly the kind of game i was looking for, but I didn’t know it.

### 5/5 — More addictive than Balatro

*2026-02-04, version 2.44.0*

I got so hooked on this game the first time that I played it that I had to set a ten minute daily time limit on my phone for this app. This is an absolute masterpiece. From a purely strategic standpoint, this is absolutely brilliant. It’s not just about tapping the screen mindlessly.

### 5/5 — really really really fun

*2025-12-30, version 2.44.0*

its satisfying and actually doesnt have ads like it says, the mechanics are balanced and the only bad thing is that there isnt enough!!

### 5/5 — Very Addictive

*2025-12-17, version 2.44.0*

I love this game.  Suggestion.  Add some polyhedral dice.  (Maybe a new polyhedral mode?). I know some d&d players who would love that!

### 5/5 — Great game, needs 1 change

*2025-11-18, version 2.44.0*

My high-score on classic is e25 and I can consistently get around e20 but since the last few updates once I hit e15 the shop prices jump so high I can’t mathematically buy anything and end up just wasting my last 500-1000 rolls. I dont understand why this change was made but it’s frustrating having a good run ruined by the shop going from costing 2-10 rolls to becoming unaffordable even after 500 rolls.

### 5/5 — Surprisingly no ads

*2025-10-31, version 2.44.0*

Great game, no ads, support the creator
