I thought this game was neat. I've seen games of this style before about adding blocks to climb upward, but I appreciate the dice mechanic. After a couple tries, I got to a score of 1500, but then my character got wedged between blocks and I got stuck.
Then, I tried again, and got pretty far by abusing the Dice Rate Up platform. The stacking effects seem pretty crazy, and I think there should probably be a limit to them.
Overall, cool game!
I imagine this is one of your first games. Congratulations on finishing it! Be proud of what you've made. I think that the different dice having different effects is a neat idea. One suggestion I can give is to work on the controls: having a character controller that feels good to control is important for having a solid foundation to build the rest of the game. Sometimes some of the dice effects don't seem to affect too?
Very fun game, though it certainly needs some polishing.
Looks interesting, too bad buttons dont work, only left click. I haven't got too far only with that.
Better luck on the next Jam, and try to get the main game loop working before anything else, its the core of enjoyment.
Controls were non-functional. Sorry, better luck next time!
