Seven Pips
A downloadable game for Windows
You win the game when you roll a 7, how hard could that be?
How to Play
Click on a Build Site and then select a die to build. Once you've constructed a die, you can install upgrades on it the same way.
Hover a die to roll it (no clicking required!)
All of the build commands are bound to the keyboard, left to right: Q, W, E, R, T, and so on. This will feel very natural on American Qwerty keyboards... but probably no one else. Sorry.
As you progress the camera will zoom out and reveal more build sites for you to construct dice on. Don't forget to sell your lesser dice and replace them with better dice. I hear the rare Cosmic Die can send you into another universe... it can also roll a 7.

despite what the website would have me believe, i quite like this game.
i loved the planning. making a rerolling started dice was so cool to see work. with speed modules and a 3 weight module i was able to gain crazy pips from just a starter setup. now idk if more weight modules would have been better, but i went with only one. maybe there is a more optimal setup with two of them, but i was happy.
an average die setup is not that great. you use 6 slots for rerollers and only have two left for a weight die and speed up. they are better than starter dies, but not by much. royal dies are way more worth it. they are started dies with better pip and scores. average 2.5x number of a starter die, not counting weight into the equation with 3x pips is op. the increase is insane and doesnt require a setup change, only a reroll of weight and rerollers.
why reroll weighted die for 20, instead of selling for 8 and rebuying for 10? dont make sense to me. the reroll die havs normal prices to make rerolling cheaper than selling and rebuying.
took me a bit to notice: build build auto roller. didnt notice cuz auto rollers are just worse rerollers. yes rerollers take up more slots, but they are so much faster that they have higher pip/h.
selling die also sells the attachments. i dont really like that, bit its a minor gripe. with more die it would be a bigger issue, but since you only really use two its not that big of an issue, just adds a bit more work and deletes more of your work than i would like.
i like that the die count expands the further you go. going from 3 to 11 die was great.
maybe not the games fault, but the audio, even though i liked it, started giving me a headache. i had to turn it down way low to make it less painful, but idk. its not like the audio is bad, it just hurt for some reason. didnt want to turn it off, as it was satisfying though so im a bit confused. i like the audio, but its giving me a headache.
all in all a great game. lacking a bit more variety, but its still fun. it really is my type of game, which is why im confused at the audio giving me a headache. i play these types of games and normally have no problem with this type of audio. in fact i quite enjoy it and enjoyed the audio in the game so idk. may be in need of change. you were very harsh on yourself with this game. i would definitely not call it one of your worst games. in fact with a bit more content id call it one of your best. i love these satisfying games, especially with modules for optimization. yeah the visuals are a bit bare bones, but that never was an issue for me. the game didnt need fancy visual. the only visuals i would see benefiting from a change are the die. the cosmic and royal die look a bit basic. the ending visual was amazing though. i really dont see the dislike for the game. i think it was pretty nice.
