I really liked the mechanic of changing the environment with your "dice rolls".  You often die because of weird reason like being with 1 pixel under the green block and getting pushed into ground. Being a bit more forgiving would be great. Pushing the player to the side if he's just with a small part of his body under the green blocks would make the game feel a lot fairer. I liked the art very much and also the soundtrack was fitting to the gameplay. Not too fast as the the game isn't fast paced too

Thank you for the feedback :-)

Tremendous fun, although a bit janky at times. But the idea is jolly clever. Why on earth did you choose 1, 2, 3 and 4 as the dice roll changes?! My fingers hurt!

Finished it and enjoyed. Well done :)

Thanks for your feedback! During testing I primarily used the arrow keys, which seemed OK with the 1, 2, 3 & 4 hotkeys. The fact that it’s uncomfortable, particularly with the WASD scheme is sadly only something that came up right as we were scrambling to playtest and release – and I have to confess, after an intensive play session the numbers do make your fingers feel like you just used them to try and remove a fridge magnet from the Large Hadron Collider. Reminds me of playing Kid Icarus on the 3DS.

Really fun and unique take!

I really liked the take on the theme here! It was pretty creative and the art was cool aswell. Gameplaywise I had fun, but the colliders of spikes and the player were a bit too big I would say (you would die even if the spikes didnt touch you). However it was a fun challenge but it needs a bit of polishing (wich I know is hard in 50h)

Good job nevertheless :)

Developer

Appreciate the feedback! Indeed – polish is a tough gig in the time we had. Definitely more jank than we would have liked :-)

Good game mechanics and a fun visual style!

The only feedback i'd give is more feedback to the player when they change the numbers! Right now the fluidity and right hand corner indicator is great but having the characters head change color may make it easier to tell when on the move!

Thank you for the feedback! We really wanted to do that - it came down to time unfortunately :-)

Nice game mechanic and visual style. For more polishing maybe implement a way to rebind the input for the numbers.

Awesome little platformer. The mechanics were cool and well explained, and the level design had a nice challenge curve to it. Cleared in just under 5 minutes and I would do it again! Nice work.
