Fun platformer! I think that the bounce mechanic does feel a wee bit odd at times but other than that very nice job!

A fun little platformer, really well polished

Really cool design and concept. I wish I could use pico 8. Also could you check my game too if you dont mind?

A very cute little platformer game, liked the way the controls feels, reminds me of old Gameboy games. Congrats of finishing the jam !

It's really nice seeing a platformer this jam given that the theme doesn't lend itself well to this kind of game.

Music and SFX are top notch and the art is very clean and solid. I also like the simple UI you chose to display the jumps left.

The core mechanic is neat but quite difficult to pull off given the scale of pico8. I think it's a little too fast.

I like how you interpreted the theme and used dices as a resource while also keeping the "roll" in it. I have a similar concept but my dice does not roll.

Great submission!

Thanks!
Yes, I will try to slow the action down a bit if I ever do a post jam update!

Top tier entry! Really nice art, music, and design, all by one person. Also enjoyed the way you unlock more abilities as the game progresses. My one nitpick is that while I enjoyed the movement style, the jump felt a bit too fast for the small rooms and compared to the walking speed. I might just turn down a few numbers.

Other than that, very well done!

Developer

Thanks! Yep, I will try to slow it down, thanks for the feedback :)

This is, by far one of the most creative game of them all !
This idea that you can "roll" the dice as many times as you have sides is brilliant !

My only nitpick is that the jump button being on the up-arrow is super junky.

The art, music and sound are fantastic too ! 
Great submission !

Developer

Thanks! You can use the z button as well, its a bit weird how PICO-8 works with inputs.

Awesome presentation and I really liked the movement! Also nice to see a pico game :D

The only nitpick I had is that it wasn't clear to me what the dice 3-6 do exactly... Is it upgrading the number of wall jumps?

Developer

Thank you! You are correct :)

Excellent game. Platforming was tricky but very satisfying when I pulled off a jump. The game also looks and sounds great.

Developer

Thank you! :)

Cool metroidvania, i like it

Developer(+1)

Thanks :)

Very cute, perfect length and difficulty. It felt sorta like a mix of standard platformers and getting over it-type games. Very fun

Developer(+1)

 Thank you, happy to hear it! Was going for a more "physical" platformer so may fit as a good description :)

Submitted

Really well made, but the jumping was really weird.

Simply put,

Super Dice Man: Super Nice Game 😃

Had great fun to master the "dice jumps"!

Developer

 Hahah thanks! :D

Cute graphics :D
Music is really nice!
I enjoyed playing.



Can you rate my game too? Thanks!

Developer

Thanks, I can!

How to get rid of this soundtrack in my head now, catchy)
The game plays nicely and even muted my hatred for dice a little)

Developer

hahah thanks, then I am happy!

The mechanics and presentation are really well done... I definitely wish my platformer was this good, though! For a 48-hour jam game, this is actually really awesome!

Developer

Thank you! Your game definitely looks cool as well, will play it :)

Submitted(+1)

Brilliant game with a simple mechanic executed so well. I love seeing a great pico 8 game. Nice job

Developer

Thank you! :) Pico8 is awesome for game jams

Submitted(+1)

Awesome art and fluid gameplay! I feel like you nailed the platformer part, and the metroidvania bits are just a cherry on top! My only complaint would be that some jump timings felt a bit too stiff, perhaps you can slightly increase the wall distance? Otherwise, amazing game! 

Developer

Thank you! The wall timings are actually pretty big, but maybe they need to be bigger! Or the game need to move a bit slower 😅
