Nice art style, and interesting idea. good job!

I love this game idea! Giving the player a debuff every time they use the mechanic is a very interesting concept that I feel could be expanded upon! I do feel like there needs to be a bit of balancing as it can be frustrating when the health pack spawns in an obscure spot while you rolled a five, but overall its an impressive effort for 48 hours!

Developer

Glad you liked it! I will admit there's a bit of a bug which applies the reduced friction to your aerial movement as well, making rolling a 5 much more frustrating than was intended. But that's something to fix in the next iteration.

The art style is great and the movement tech worked phenomenally. Main place I would improve is letting the player know what's happening with each side.

The animations are very cute! I agree with follow the fun, had to spend a minute before i decided to roll into potential death at full speed

Developer

Haha, thanks! Guess I should have mentioned in game that the roll gives you i-frames

The animations are top notch, well done! I've always had trouble with ZX + Arrow key controls so I had a bit of trouble navigating but I got used to it. At first I couldn't figure out how to get through the blades because it said not to roll so I was trying to escape other ways, but didn't find any.

Thanks for trying it out! I also set WASD + Space + Shift to work, but just didn't mention it in the onscreen tutorial.

This take on the theme is really nice, congrats ! 
The controls are on point and though the map is the only one, there is a lot to discover in your little game !
