Music is great and I like the idea of generating the blocks based on the die. However, it feels a bit too harsh on the randomness and it's not very intuitive at first.

I didn't understand what means the arrows that I put in the inventory near the numbers. I suggest to invest more time in page description once the submission is closed. Anyway the game is cool

I like the vibe of this one, don't really understand the rules but it was fun to play. Music was great too!

Thanks for playing! Definitely could have explained the mechanics a bit better, haha.

I still am trying to wrap my head around the concept of the game but seems a very interesting one worth exploring more.  I never thought about a puzzle deckbuilding plataformer that depends on randomness. That is crazy.

I cannot escape the third island though. Any help? It is also a bit broken that you can recall your die if you don't like the result before the action is applied.

I agree on the recall, but without time to really balance the scaling I thought it would be best to give the player that flexibility for now. Generally (and the third level is no exception, as its the first one with a jump you can't make on your own), you want to land your most productive die face as close to the edge as you can and build up a platform to jump to the next island from. Thanks for playing!

The game is kinda broken for me. The textures are not loading correctly.

Hehe, there are hardly any textures, just a very simplistic artstyle. The only textures would be the die face slots, (arrows and numbers), did those fail to load/which platform? Thanks for checking it out anyhow!

Bummer! I'll see if I can replicate and fix it post-jam!
