I really like the visuals and audio, but I found the platforming to be incredibly frustrating. I think my longest run didn't even make it to 30 seconds. I think the main issue is a roll of 1-3 made it essentially impossible to jump more than 1-2 platforms before a huge gap appeared, and the die moved too fast for me to reliably hit them to pick up a 5 or 6. This meant that 50% of the time I would be gifted with a die that guaranteed I would lose.

I can think of two things that might make the game less frustrating: 1) if you tweak your procedural generation to also generate some long paths with lots of short jumps, that way you don't make half the dice useless, and/or 2) if there was some benefit to rolling a low number, such as a faster move speed or time slowing down.

Nice look but a really bad game stopper if you don't get the high numbers at the very start.

The art was very nice, but if you don't get a 4, 5, or 6 at the beginning you just have to prepare 2 die, because there is no way to save yourself. Also, at a certain point the platforms were to high for me to get to, and I just died.

Yeah the too high platforms can happen... probably need to tighten up the procedural generation to avoid that

Great game! Challenging in a good way, fast paced and looks brilliant!

You need a dice of at least 4 to reliably jump through the gaps. Problem is that the dice fall so fast it is just random and you have no chance to control it.

As someone who totally did not work on the game and has absolutely no bias to it, I can say 100% this is better then Elden Ring
