I thought the presentation was very cool and the platforming was nicely implemented. The dice puzzle took a bit for me to figure out what was being asked of me, but overall great job on this one.

Thank you. I wrote an article on the upper left to explain the dice part. I think it's enough to read it

The platformer section is really good, but I feel like the dice mechanic isn't very cohesive with the rest of the game.

Everyone says the same thing. The idea of the game is that the character is in an ancient cave and wants to get out. In order to get out of here, he must first reach the doors and then decipher the password on those doors. I think the Dice part is pretty connected because I made the game over the dice part. Thanks for playing the game

I love these graphics, and the tight movement is also great (have also made platformer). I just find, that the dice thing is kinda forced and doesn't match well with the platformer-gameplay. Else it's a really fun game !

Thank you. Actually, I did the dice mechanic first and then the platform mechanic, but the platform was more prominent.

This was really well polished as a platformer. I kind of wish I could just freely jump around the level more instead of doing puzzles. You could fall off the map pretty easily but it was kind of cool. Maybe those could be on-purpose secret shortcuts.

Thank you. I made it for convenience while testing the gaps in the map, but forgot to fix it.
