Cool little game! Loved the presentation, and the concept reminds me a bit of WarioWare. I guess my only issues are that I feel like the die might as well be rolled automatically, and just that it could use more variety in the challenges for each type. Still, what you managed to build in the time constraints of the jam is pretty cool!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback!

Really loved the presentation. And the mini game concept is really neat and easy to figure out.

Great concept and I loved the art. I think what was missing for me was feeling challenged. Once I understood the game, none of the levels really required much critical thinking or dexterity/precision. If the challenges were a bit harder I think this game could be great. 

Developer

Thank you! I agree. Even randomizing each level a bit would make it more challenging and interesting.

Submitted(+1)

This was not only a great concept, but was implemented really well! The aesthetics fit the game great, and the pacing felt just right. Only thing I would want would be more variety with the levels, but the amount of content you have here is really impressive as it is for 48 hours.

great Art style

The game aesthetics are super cute!

I like the desk items and the whole theme of the game, as in the game is drawn on a notebook and game accessories are items on the desk. It's really adorable! I tried to speed run and got 8 stars. I dunno if that's world pace or not xD.

Amazing game, amazing work!

Developer

Thank you!

I think 10 is doable. 😉

Pretty solid game! Great visual style and the core gameplay loop was interesting and refreshing. I think I would've preferred if there was some way to extend the timer, each time you complete a level, because it ends pretty fast, even if you are doing well. Overall, great work!

Developer(+1)

I had an idea of having additional risk/reward dice that could grant you extra time or summon enemies to the level. Did not start to implement it when it was already sunday morning.  😅

This was really well presented and creative, nice amount of variation and quick to get through!

Very good presentation, could use some music, but thats ok for a game jam. Loved the idea, very fun to play, however on platforming part it could feel a little stiff in the air, but other than that, very good!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your feedback!

Developer(+1)

The platforming feels absolutley horrible. However, I didn't think that was the point in this game, so I didn't polish it one bit. It is weird to say this when talking about such crucial thing as game feel. 🙈 

Submitted(+1)

Amazing concept.

I loved how each game was drawn in the same doodle style and they were all fun little minigames.

I would suggest adding more time, or removing the timer entirely. I just wanted to play more.

Great stuff!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Longer timer was a consideration. For future fixes, first set of minigames could be played in a minute. Timer could be extended when you unlock more games.

Submitted(+1)

Or just add like 5-10 seconds for each minigame you beat.

Submitted

Really cool game! I would suggest a no-timer mode to be able to play all of them, I want to play the more difficult ones :)

Developer

Yeah, the timer is a bit merciless. Freeplay Mode would be great addition.

A nice set of random games to switch between an d a really interesting art style to go along with.  A mix of hand drawn and a 3D environment to give it some context is a great idea.  And I really enjoyed the different drawings for the games and such.

One thing I wills ay though is that the lighting looked a little off on some of the 3D parts.  As well as the texturing on the stars, at least compared to the relative drawing realism of the paper.

Also some of the games were definitely easier than others, which to be fair is kind of the point of the randomization and makes it more interesting than if they were all just as easy.  What I will say though is that the "space invaders": style game, was quite difficult if you die because of the fact that the bullets do not despawn on death.  Which means they will hit you 3-4 times before disappearing.  Which leads to quite a lot of a deaths and lost runs due to a bullet constantly murdering me.

Developer

Thank you for thorough feedback! Space Invader levels remained buggy. I was squirming when I watched it punishing you on stream. 🙈

Submitted(+1)

I really like the style of this game! The art is super cute. The games are also simple and pretty well executed; it just feels a little off-balance. It really depends on what games you get whether or not you can beat your high score.

Developer

Thank you! The game definitely has balancing issues. 

Submitted(+1)

Great game. I don't see much issues. Maybe longer and bigger levels with more time.

Submitted(+1)

Very nice visuals! The doodle style combined with the paper being torn off has a very nice look to it. It wasn't entirely clear to me what I was supposed to do, so a tiny prompt might help there. But other than that, you did a great job!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback!

Loved the visuals. If the minigame's order for each type is randomized, it might be cooler (since I want to explore all levels you have to offer, and I kinda sucked so I could not cycle through all levels quickk enough - highscore is 8)

Developer

Yes, there is a real chance you'll get same game type with every roll. Some kind of check should be in place that nudges the dice if the new selection is the same as previous one.   

Submitted(+1)

Love the idea behind it. Just needed some little touches around having to press space bar everytime I want to reroll the dice. The graphics needed a little bit of shadowing & decorations. Overall a funny one!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! So much to do for such a short time.

Submitted

Now that I think about your game, did you take inspiration in Wario-Ware type of game? It has some features that can be very helpful to improve your game!

Developer

I actually did not think about WarioWare when making this. The original game is on my top5 GOAT, so it has definetly had subconcious influence. 😅

Cool game, I really like the art, maybe it would be better if the timer stops while the dice rolls.

Developer(+1)

Yeah. This is something I would definitely change first. Thank you for playing and giving feedback!

Aluksi meinasin nillittää että noppa on vain glorifioitu kentän satunnaisvalinta, mutta sehän on lisäksi glorifioitu mekaniikan ja vaikeustason satunnaisvalinta. Ihan näppärä peli. Hauska post jam-twisti olisi jos kaikista kentistä tekisi läpäistäviä kaikilla mekaniikoilla ja sitten vain arpoisi sitä, pelityyliä. 

Ja loppuun Valtun syväluotaava arvio: 

"vau yllättävän hyvä teos ollilta"


Edit. Pirun buginen Itch. En näy submitterina minun ja Elmerin pelissä.

Hyvä idea! Ajattelin vielä sunnuntaiaamuna laittaa eri genren jokaiselle nopan sivulle. Ei ennättänyt. 

Valtulle nöyrimmät kiitokseni. :)

The mechanic is quite simple. but it has some cool moments.
I encountered some glitches like getting stuck in the walls while jumping and shooting enemies even when you're dead.
I think the timer should work only when you're playing the game, because there is no reason to roll the dice for more than 1 second. You're just wasting time.
Good one!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your feedback! I considered stopping the timer, but none of my live test players mentioned it so it stayed.

Glitches are part of the experience. 😉
