A fun idea for a game, I enjoyed the art style and the look of the main character a lot. I found the collision detection between the mc and flying enemies to be quite sensitive and I died a lot from jumping and then realizing there is an enemy there! Overall a game with potential to be expanded and improved on.

It is a nice game you made. I appreciate the small tutorial in the beginning. A lot of jam games forget that part. Congrats on your submission :)

Trust the DiceThe presentation and concept were really great. The combat system was very fun. Nice work!

Oliver the Dice MasterHad some Unity crash errors at first when I ran into bats but they seemed to go away once I figured out how they moved and could kill/avoid them. I really like the cat/9 lives idea and the randomized power each time you die mechanic. I felt like the controls were a bit finnicky, I found myself slipping a little too far when stopping and falling off edges.

A Die's TourGreat game! The movement is very smooth and the art is just amazing. The dice mechanic is really neat as well and of course the animations are wonderful. Like others have mentioned, the platforming feels a bit too smoothed over, which creates a lack of precision. But overall, I really enjoyed playing. Nice work!

Roll, Fish!Very beautiful game. Wish the controls were more precise in terms of movement. Very curious to see if you guys will flesh this out more! Played at https://twitch.tv/hedgein <3

Dicing with LifeCute little game with good mechanics to build upon.
I did not think the keyboard positions were awkward, just noticed later that you can also use the mouse to attack, which I found better.
Overall the game is a bit too short to really go into any details, but it's impressive that you could make something like this in 48 hours : )

Frimbly and the Cave of WondersEnjoyed playing this on stream yesterday! Was a really cute platformer with cool vfx. loved that I was able to complete it with only one life left!! Kept me on the edge of my seat.

Dude, It's Your Turngame looks cool. Platforming could've been refined a bit and more enemy types is always fun.

Jeu de diceThis is very creative but I do wish the controls were better, they present a big obstacle, still its a very impressive project.

A long winterNice job on completing your game. That's an accomplishment!
The randomizing a new ability lends itself well to the roguelite genre, so doing that randomization across 9 lives is a cool touch. The graphics and sprites were also really nice.
The controls didn't really work for me. L/K keys are an awkward keyboard position. Is there a reason you chose this instead of LMB/RMB or Q/E or even shift/space?
And I'm sure you know this, but try budgeting time for audio for your next jam. Once you've learned how to do some light audio, it makes a huge improvement to the overall feel of your game. Give it a go!
Again, congrats on finishing and submitting. Keep making games!

Sad & FuriousGreat graphics! Animation and sounds would really decorate the game. I get an error when the opponent touches me in web version, I had to play without taking damage, lol
