This game does need some work. The underlying concept is there, but the fact that you have to end each level on the number one means you just have to sit near the end of the level and wait as the dice cycles to one which makes it quite boring.
The story at the start was a nice touch but the backgrounds in the level don't really reflect it. Although the story itself is fine.
With a few more mechanics, the game would be really good. So it just needs some work. I understand this game jam was quite the grind, we struggled on our game as well so the backgrounds not matching the story is just a nitpick. Overall, the idea is good but the execution needs work.
If possible could you check out my game? Any feedback would be appreciated
