I really enjoyed this! There was a lot to roam around to and it was nice having so much room to travel through and fight enemies. I also really enjoyed the music! Good job!

How does your game fit the theme?
Your player is a dice who rolls in the air to attack. Also, you take a risk with your bet points for better stats in a proverbial roll of the die.

Really loved the aesthetics and music you made, it all goes really well together. The gameplay was super fun too, the combat could've felt a bit smoother but I loved the idea. Great job!

Oliver the Dice MasterI really appreciate when I see creative mechanics, specially in this jam. The theme has led to very similar games, so when you rate some you have to be very picky. Yours has an unique touch to it, the “betting” system, is very unique and interesting, I also love platformers and you managed to fit the theme in a platformer. I think the betting mechanic needs some polishing:
- the “price” of betting feels too high. Theres only so much enemies and betting drains your betting points too quickly
- if your betting points end and you rolled a number with slow speed, or low health, its game over, its just impossible to keep playing.
Overall, congrats for being so creative and making such a fun to play little game!

The Walking CubeI am so glad that you liked the game and felt that it was creative. I also will agree with your remarks about the betting system. If I were to redo it, I might make each dice face give you a upgrade and a downgrade (e.g. rolling a 1 decreases your speed but increases your strength). But then again, that is apart of the risk factor, and getting unlucky can be punishing, but it could probably be a little less so. Thank you so much for your comment!
Nice visuals and music! Good use of the theme, unfortunately I didn't seem to be able to raise or lower the bet amount. Either that or I was doing something wrong. In any case, well done!
If you have time please check out and rate my game as well!

Rolling With The PunchesThe ability to change your stats with a "bet" is indicated by how many "bet points" you have in the top left. What I'm guessing is that you can make the first bet, but then not the second because you run out of points. You can gain more points by killing enemies. Still, it lets me press Shift and then Enter and makes me jump and does a bet with 0 points. In short, Shift is to start a bet, Backspace is to cancel, W is to raise points to bet (max indicated in the top left by 'Bet Points: #'), S is to lower, and Enter is to confirm.
Jumping on the enemies felt really good. I liked the guitar music in the background somehow it didn't feel out of place for a game like this. this is a fun game overall!

Protecting ParaDiceVery cool and creative game, has nice mechanics. I especially like how the chess pieces have attack patterns similar to what they are like in actual chess! Very nicely done, good job!

The platformer game is really cool and the art are amazing. But like the theme wasn't that clear for me when I play the game. The SFX are great and I really like chess
I like the CG after the boss fight. With my luck my best BET was to head straight into battle without even bother rolling.
