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!

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!

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.

Arggh! I cant understand why I ENJOYED this game! It is soo weird and the sounds are so creepy! AND YET I honestly completed the game and found myself frustrated trying to solve the levels in a good way! Congrats! I gave it full stars! :D

Dice minigolf in space. Visual design is fascinating but the sound was aggravating. Definitely an experience.

Developer

Thanks! Sorry to your ears.

Cool game but the level with four dice was pretty frustrating, and the one after that even more. This was not due to difficulty, but just the level design combined with the game mechanics which made a frustrating experience over a fun and difficult experience for the later levels. The sounds of the game were also really weird, but it also made it interesting. Lastly I noticed a glitch where everything gained a pink tint. And it semed that the levels created new game video tabs? Which I did not notice till I tried to leave.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! Game balancing between fun vs challenging was fairly difficult, definitely have some tweaks to do.

What level was the pink tint glitch on, and what platform were you playing on?

(+1)

Windows 10 Microsoft Edge

I don't remember what caused it, but it was either level 1 or 2, I noticed that the game gained a pink tint, (at the very end once I left), I noticed each level was in its own game version, which were below and above on that internet page, where you just had to scroll. I think the very top one was the normal color one, but I honestly don't remember anymore as its been a full day
