The idea is great, I like the mechanic of slowing you down as you fall, but there are some situations where continuing to climb is almost impossible, I would like to see more ways to climb or a twist on the mechanic that would allow you to meet the challenge of climbing in more ways. The setting is cool too! good job!

Thanks for the feedback! It was definitely planned to allow some more interesting stuff, but that has to wait until I have time for a post-jam update. There would be collectible power-ups you can use, including one to "reroll" a dice (rotating on up axis) to choose a different face, and another powerup that acts like a rope hook to grab edges much higher up.
Cool idea, would be nice to have some more opportunities to 'save' oneself when falling, and maybe a time component to push for speedy play?

An ace upon a diceCool idea, nice and pleasing visuals and cool sound effects when climbing!
I might have some ideas for increasing complexity, maybe letting the player charge up their jump to jump higher, or perhaps having spikes coming in and out of some dice "holes" to force players to keep moving?
Just some thoughts that came into my mind. :D

SPEEDLINEThanks for the kind feedback and ideas!
Some of the ideas are definitely planned (see also https://itch.io/post/6226994) but I like your idea to force players to keep moving! The spikes sound like a fun concept, and I think I could also add some kind of rising water or lava so that there is some kind of constant danger.
It took me several tries to figure out how to jump properly, but then I was in a flow

Rolling into the abyssPretty cool way to use dice! Wasn't expecting anyone to make a climbing game!
Might benefit from pickups and interesting things to do along the climb
Nice job!

DICEMANCERThank you! Yes, I had plans for this but no time ahaha (working alone). I might do an update after the voting has finished with things I originally planned:
- powerup to re-roll a dice
- powerup to use a rope to hook onto a grip much further up
- score depends on the dice side you climb (a rolled one is harder to climb, so more points)
- obstacles on some cubes, for example trees growing out of them
- more visual diversity, different dice materials, torches on the tower, proper background
Absolutely stunning game. Nice idea, beautifully execute. I genuinely enjoy playing it. Recommended!
