Really awesome concept and implementation. The game is a little too difficult for me, though... Amazing work!

Submitted

5/5 on the physics alone. I had fun with this one.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I'm happy you had fun with it!

Submitted

Really cute and funny game! I do wish there was an element to make it easier, as the game is super super hard right now. Overall, nice work!

Developer

Thanks! It's definitely ridiculously difficult! I gotta get better at balancing my games!

Submitted

I don't know why I love it but I love it

Developer

I love you!

This is a wonderful concept and a really enjoyable experience all round! Excellent work! I really liked the difficulty of it and I definitely will be playing through it a lot. Just as a little point of improvement, for some reason, after the second "death", the game doesn't reset/ do anything for me so I have to reload the browser page.

As further info, I'm playing on a 32GB RAM Predator Helios 300 laptop,  Windows 11, Google Chrome, and Core I7 10th Gen chip if that's any help!

Thank you! Yeah, I found out about the restart bug right after the submission deadline... Something to learn from until next year!

(1 edit)

You're very welcome! Ah yeah of course, no problem at all! Absolutely! The game's great by the way, just wanted to let you know!

Hey!

I took the time to play your game this afternoon, you weren't here so here's the link : https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1536364115 (starting at 46:30)

I had really a hard time controlling that blobby guy haha, but I had fun!

I feel like I'd prefer to be able to turn completely the dice, I kinda felt like I was missing control :(.

And that the camera was a bit too close to know where I was going.

But really, staying on the "rolling part" with that atmosphere was fun and creative :D.

And just that blobby guy was fun, I want to know his name!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! I'm sorry I couldn't make it to stream! I'm going to watch it now! Being able to turn the dice completely would probably lead to some interesting mechanics! Like launching the guy like a catapult! His name is Per-Albin btw!

Submitted

Nice art) I’ll play your game on the stream again. Please give my game a try if you have some time!

Developer

Do you have a link to the stream? :) I will definitely try your game!

restart level does not work

Submitted

Really original take, and I love that the concept is so simple yet so difficult to master.

Developer

Thank you! Even when you master it, it's still difficult!

I'm sorry to hear that! :( Pesky demon! Can I ask what browser you are using?

Tough, as others have said, but I actually really enjoyed the difficulty (I'm yet to beat it though so might come back later). 

Of course, with more time, I could ask for different levels etc but I don't really think there's much to add - Looks great, entertaining setting, and first time I've seen the idea of rolling off a dice implemented in a way that kept me playing. Thanks!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the difficulty! Not everyone's cup of tea for sure! I had a lot in mind for level design but I kinda had to rush it in respect of time

Submitted

Nice take on the theme, the activated dice though rolls and throws the dude away every time the dice activates...

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! I had more plans for level design with rotating dice for example so I think what you are experiencing is a feature turned evil!

Submitted

Like others said, very nice interpretation of the theme :)
Love the demon and the fat person. Pure perfection.
I wish I could see the end, but it is a little to frustrating to start all the way at the top.

I don't know if this was done on purpose, but I think it would be a little more fair that when the control goes from dice A to dice B, the die would start at a neutral rotation. I think if the game was like this, it would feel like it was my fault for messing up, instead of not knowing when I should rock my mouse back to the centre of the screen.

The previous paragraph may be a bit nit picky, but the devil is in the details haha. Overall I loved it!
Awesome job :)

Developer

What you said makes a lot of sense! I haven't thought about that but it would probably make it more approachable to have them start at a neutral rotation. Thank you for the feedback!

Thank you!

it's original the fact of moving the dice to orient the big guy. I like a lot the graphics and the chill atmosphere of hell XD

Little problem during the death but otherwise it's cool ;)

Developer(+1)

Your comment made me chuckle xd Thank you for playing and for the feedback!

Submitted

Hahhaha you're welcome ;) 

Submitted(+1)

Love the original take on the theme. The game is simple but extremely fun, and the "menu" with the devil is charming. Only negative point is that you never really know where your character will roll because of unity's depth perception. I know it's hard to deal with. 

I honestly think this deserves the top 100.

Developer

Thank you so much!

The demon punting your little guy at the beginning is hilarious. Love this, but it's so difficult!

Developer

I'm happy you like the demon! (I'm sad to say the demons don't like us humans tho) Balancing difficulty has always been a weak spot!

Submitted

Nice little idea and interesting interpretation of the theme. I think it's good, but it gets boring quickly.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! Making different levels maybe would make it less repetetive

Submitted

I love the idea, super creative.

It's just that I'm terrible at it, and I wish the camera was a little farther away so I could see the way I was going.

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! It's not you, it's just really hard!
