A fun platformer, but I'm unsure of it fitting the theme?

I mean, of course, I see the dice and casino theme (nice detail about the number on the dice being the length of the platform btw!), but I feel like there's no game mechanic that really involves dice nor rolling.

But nitpicking aside: it's all fun and squishy! Once you get used to the jump's physics, you be zoomin through the level. (I sometimes got stuck inside a wall, but it's game jam after all, that happens haha!)

Plus, I've seen that it's your first game, so really nice job! ^^

Thanks for playing! For the theme, I interpreted it more as a game that incorporated some sort of RNG system rather than having game mechanics involving dice or rolling. With that in mind, I designed an endless runner that would throw 6 different platform configurations (to match with the six sides of a die). But you are right, in hindsight I should have brainstormed a couple more ideas that fit the theme better rather than just implementing a dice and casino theme over my loose interpretation of the prompt.

Regardless, I appreciate the feed back and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Don't worry, finding a good idea is very hard, even more with the deadline's pressure.
Last year, I only found mine Saturday around 12h~14h, which left me only a day and a half for the whole concept and integration!

Now that you explain it, I see what you did isn't as far as I though from the theme, since the length of the platform is linked to a die result, that is shown on-screen.
