A fascinating entry. Start with a basic mechanic in a strange world but the fact that the gameplay evolve for each level makes it very interesting to play and pick your curiosity to know how the gameplay change in the next level.

I really enjoyed it. Fantastic job!

Ok this is the first game of the jam that I say on the first impression "this will be my favorite" ... and it was =) ... I love the vibe in this game, the squishy animations, the soundscape, the soft movements and colors, oh I love this, cant rate this less than 5 stars

I love the idea and the concept - it reminds me all those days when I was playing Worms and was trying to hit someone on the another side of the map :D 

super neat and well-polished! the only drawback is it is hard to determine edges of the playground.

Great job!

This is easily the most visually impressive game I’ve seen all jam – it looks like a full-fledged release! Love it.

Unapologetically weird. And wonderfully artistic! Loved it!  Too bad i got stuck inside the character in level 6.

Cheers for playing. Sorry about that, we've got quite a few collision issues to fix!

Splendid presentation! 5 stars! Also, is that a tit? 
Enjoyable and polished gameplay! Really a good job!

Loved how the game background fuses with the rest of the web page!


Now, could I ask you to give our game review? We are stuck into "low-ratings hell" :')

A tit? Of course not, this is a family friendly game 😅

Will check out your game!

I had so much fun but just couldn't get through the no gravity level :D 

Really nice level variety, great colours and a stunning art style.

I adore the sound design, it's just beyond perfect! I seriously can't get enough.

Everything about the presentation of this is phenomenal, every stage looked beautiful and disturbing in equal measure with both sides complementing the other :)

Gameplay is way more diverse than I first thought, and the geometry of each stage felt perfectly designed to complement that level's mechanical twist.

Love this so much :)

Thank you!

Some of the cleanest artwork I've seen in the jam! I like the unique effects of the different dice. Some of the geometry was kind of hard to navigate around with the zany dice physics (like level 5). But otherwise a great and surprising game!

The presentation of this was AWESOME, though the second level had sound design that was frankly really gross lol. Other than that, I really enjoyed this entry.

This game looks and sounds like nothing I've played before. However, it does seem like the dice is kind of shoehorned in. That's not to take anything away from the game itself, I really enjoyed it!

Submitted(+1)

This game's artstyle is nice and unique, kinda reminds me of The Amazing world of Gumball. The gameplay isn't the most unique compared to other submissions but the level design accounts for that. The collisions can get a bit wonky, I accidentally went inside a wall in the first level and softlocked the game. The sounds can be a bit too much sometimes, but that's mostly my personal opinion.

Interesting and unique, kinda feels like golf at times but shooting the die always feels satisfying, well made!

Submitted(+1)

so wonderfully weird, I absolutely love the murmurs and technicolor designs. hats off to the animators and artists!

Submitted(+1)

pretty weird! i love it but... the looping sounds drive me crazy hahah i know that it's intended but omg ! good job!

Submitted(+1)

Epic art, really elevates the simple mechanic :D

Submitted(+1)

The art is splendid!!!

This game's artstyle reminds me of amanita design. Pretty good game

Cheers! Just finished playing their games Pilgrims and Creaks so must be channeling their weird energy.

The incorporation of the theme feels like an afterthought and the gameplay itself is pretty weak, but this game is truly bizarre and I love it.

Developer

Thanks! The theme got heavily diluted along the way. Started off with rolling the dice at the start of each level to randomize which dice modifer, game level, and elements in the level were put together, making each level playthrough different. Testing that many combinations was a mission in the timeframe so we had to simplify it.

One of my favourite games of the jam so far, unique art style! I did get stuck on the first level, the first time I played it. The dice went inside the left leg collider shape, which meant it could not be moved anymore. After a reload, everything worked fine.

Developer

Cheers for the feedback. Most of the levels have collider issues that will need fixing because of the animation. Maybe we'll add in a death and respawn if you're crushed too.
