How does your game fit the theme?
This game takes the word "Roll the Dice" into a whole different category. In this game you have to "Roll on the Dice" to get to the end. Your character rolls a dice to use the dice as a platform, or to end up just rolling on it, either way the whole game is around strategically rolling dice.

Fun and challenging game! i think the jump should be a bit higher but, overall great game!

Submitted

Fun little game. The physics made it a bit more challenging than I would have liked but overall good Job!

Submitted

Nice concept

Submitted

Got some nice concept, I liked the part where you roll the dice on spike ground to pass level! Also I liked the background music.

Physics was a bit janky tho, it didn't feel consistent so I couldn't enjoy the learning process. Making it more consistent would make players feel like they're improving even if they continuously die on same stage.

But still, it was a nice game :)

Submitted

I really like the concept!

But i have some feedback:

  1.  Make the platformer a bit more less slippery
  2. Make the dice spawn under the character rather than in the character
  3. Make it more "JUICY"
Submitted

the game has a great concept! the game is a bit difficult though, and I ended up cheesing the game by clipping into the walls. I also loved the sound effects and music!

Submitted

Cool interpretation of theme! the controls felt a bit sloppy, but its still fun!

Submitted

Neat use of theme. Would love an expansion of this with tighter controls. Great job.

Submitted

I was not expecting a game like this for this jam, I'll be honest.

I like how the dice roll, and it fits with the theme. 👍

Developer(+1)

I'm glad you enjoyed the game! With the theme I just took it quite literally and had you roll onto dice.

Loved the creativity of this and it was really nice to look at. I wish the jump height of the character was a little higher, and I agree with a comment that said the dice are a bit hard to control. The music slapped though. Best one I've played so far!

Developer

I'm glad to hear it! Also yes I definitely needed to work on the dice some more. 

Submitted

I kind of like the wacky physics, it allows you to do cool skips and stuff. It was a fun game overall!

Developer

I found the physics funny while play testing. 

Submitted(+1)

Interesting concept, where you are literally rolling on the dice. The controls are a bit rough and the difficulty curve gets steep. The player could use a little more jump height than allowed. Well done overall!

Developer

I agree the player did need more height, I thought stacking dice would make up for it though. Also I'm glad you enjoyed the dice!

Submitted

Overall alright. I feel like a lot of platformers in gamejams fall into the trend of really difficult because of the person playtesting it having a ton of practise and know how in the game. This falls right on the edge. It's a great concept, and overall pretty good execution. It's longer than I thought it'd be which is a good thing :)

Developer

I made the last few levels hard on purpose as a challenge for the players that made it that far. But I agree that most game jam games including this one have that problem.

Submitted

This game is cool. The ways in which you can use the dice in the level is quite versatile, and the game has a nice difficulty to it as well, Nice work.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed you enjoyed the game!

 I like how you can use the dice in multiple, creative ways. I found out that if I spam the dice button and the jump button, I can essentially fly. And who doesn't like flying?

Developer(+1)

I never thought of it as "flying" but yes. It is suppose to be the character jumping off the dice and was an intended feature shown in later levels (if you got that far).

Submitted(+1)

Great idea. I really like the usage of the dice here. The graphics are cute, I especially enjoy the moving backround; simple, yet pleasing. I have to say it: props to the music! Most songs on loop I´ve heard so far got annoying after a few minutes, but this one fits and sound amazing. Gameplay wise I can agree with the comments; the dice/character were a bit hard to control. Nevertheless, good job!

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed the music! Once the jam is done i'll take a look at the controls, I agree that they are a little hard to control.

Submitted

Great game, with the small physics tricks reminding me of Celeste. I would like to see more emphasis on the "dice" part. Good job!

Developer

I had celeste in mind as I was making this, and yes I should had, when I was making later levels at times I forgot it was a game about dice.

Submitted

Heh! fun take on the dice rolling ^^. Feelt like both die and character where a bit hard to control with any precision though

Submitted

Cute graphics and music. Great job!

Submitted

The jump is a bit squiffy but having physics in a platformer is always nice to play
