I love the central mechanic of this! It's really tense and fun. I personally preferred easy mode. I wish there was more levels!

Submitted

This is a great game! The easy mode was fun, but the hard mode is what attracts the most. The direction toss is a great mechanic! The art is very nice, simple but polished, which is very important. Overall, pretty impressive :)

Thank you for your kind feedback! Glad that you liked it.

Really cool and cohesive, well put together. It can feel a bit random (though I guess you "control" when the dice starts and stops? But it's difficult), but I love the idea.

Developer

The die really is random for now but I agree that it can be more fun when you have some control over its outcome.  Thank you for playing tho!

Super fun! Really unique concept and I love the use of the dice with the mechanic. Great job!

Thank you! Glad that you enjoyed it!

This was great - love the one bit pixel art and the soundtrack, and thought it was a great use of the limitation. The easy and hard modes were great, although I'm nowhere near good enough to beat hard mode I thought that rolling to see the direction in which you can move was a great idea and would love to see it explored further!

It's not that you're not good enough it's just that the hard mode is pure luck-based so it's too hard. Maybe I'll need to add some dice mechanic so it won't rely solely on luck. I appreciate that you liked my game tho. Thank you for playing!

Nice game. Graphics and artwork were both well done and while it was fairly short, it had the base of a solid puzzle game. If there were some way to improve your odds of getting certain rolls, or some obstacles or moving enemies or whatnot, I could see this expanding quite nicely. Well done!

Developer

That's a really good idea! Thank you!

I had fun playing this game! I thought the graphics and the sound were really well done. It's short, but very enjoyable, and I really like having the two modes. It's pretty cool how much of a difference there is in playing when using the hard die! Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! I'm glad that you enjoyed both mechanics!

Really fun game in addition to cool pixel graphics and some satisfying sound effects! Only real criticism is that it's a bit short and after reaching the end I felt like there wasn't much of a reason to replay. But the time I spent playing was worth it!

Developer

Thank you for playing! Maybe next time, I'll try to put some more level and some incentives so players won't be bored quickly.

i love the asthetics! great game, although i would’ve preferred the level design to be a bit different in hard mode. nevertheless, awesome game!

Developer

Thank you!
