Really great use of theme. I wish the control scheme was better. Never quite got use to it. Would love to see this developed further. Great job.

The game is something unique from the normal roll a number and that's you damage I've been seeing. The die is a core part of the game, though the game has taken an alternate route from probability to just simply a "roll of the die". I love that.

The controls feel a bit confusing though that might be because it is very close to the WASD keys. Maybe different keybinds or mouse clicking movement?

Overall, wonderful and simple game that I enjoyed.

Thanks for the feedback. I was going to implement alternative controls like the mouse clicking you mentioned but didn't have time.

Very interesting and unique idea! I think my biggest point of feedback is that I didn't always know what side I was going to land on because I can't see all sides of the die. This makes it so that I can't properly plan how I want to approach the enemies. If there were a way to rotate the camera around the die so that I could see all sides I think it would help.

I was going to implement an indicator for the action on each direction but didn't have time for that. Also the action are identical for opposite faces. Thanks for the feedback.

Cool game idea ! (Look like ours :D) . Ideas for improvements : improve the control keys, its a bit confusing, maybe the old WASD could fit there :)

Yeah I probably should use WASD, I wasn't sure if W should go top left or top right.
