Nice idea, probably lacks more difference in dice "states". Now all dice jumps feels the same. You could also limit minimum jump speed as well as maximum, randomly, to have player sometimes jump another direction just to change dice state, when it's impossible to continue path in current state. 

Clearly there is a potential. Good work

Interesting idea, having variable jumps that can potentially leave you in many different areas, covering terrain differently as you go. The big issue for me is that every action is sluggish. Going from waiting for a jump to charge, to waiting for the die to land, waiting for it to trudge down a slope so that it'll rest so I can jump again; feels tedious.

I realise the roll of the die somehow influences how it behaves, but it's not explained how or why or what we are supposed to do with that information. I just ignored the change in properties and was able to complete the game without much difficulty.

Maybe the game could have been improved with some art or sound. Brown on blue is not really pretty.

One property, "charge" is just useless. I never found a situation where not using full charge would have been useful, or where hitting a specific charge would be necessary. Waiting for the jump to charge is boring and adding to that wait time just slows the game down without any benefit.

It's a working game, and for someone's first game it's not a bad effort.

Though I didn't understand how the side of the dice affects the jump parameters (if it does at all), I managed to finish it.

Nice unconventional platformer, reminds me of Jump King. One remark for anyone else wanting to play the game is that the file's name is just the extension, so you have to rename them game.exe and game.pck respectively for it to work
