How does your game fit the theme?
You use your dice that you find throughout the dungeon to empower yourself and change your destiny. You literally crash into enemies by rolling into them too. The rolls of your dice will determine how difficult the game becomes. You need to strategically use different levels of dice in order to survive!

Super cool idea. Super easy to die, too, and not in a good way: I can't really tell why I succeed or fail and what I can do to grow. Lovely polish, well done!!

Really well presented and nice feeling game, well done :D

The attack and movements of the game are very crunchy and feel very good! My only wish is that the passive additions for using die was better shown, because it wasn't really felt when I was playing the game. The presentation of the game was also very polished and smooth. Good job on a great game!

Really cool game! I love the dash ability and just getting to absolutely headbutt the enemies. The art and sound are really nice too. :)

This game is pretty cool in terms of presentation and gameplay, but I don't understand how the dice mechanics work. Does the cursed die do anything other than act as a permanent die that you can use to enter the next dungeon or open a chest?

Developer

Yeah, the cursed die is a permanent die for progression. The roll you get on each die affects the outcomes of events, but I didn't have time to develop the necessary feedback to convey that the gameplay loop. The cursed die is weighted to roll 0s semi-frequently, which can generate some difficult but rewarding rooms. Thanks for playing!

Yeah, as suggested by others... Some invincibility frames during the dash would be nice.

Regardless, great game! I don't really have anything to critique other than that.

This is incredible! Only two minor issues: the health bars can be difficult to see on red ground, and it is difficult to see the projectiles and spikes at first (maybe they need a high contrast outline?). This is so much fun to play. It looks great and is very polished. One of the best games in this jam imo.
