The concept is fun and very well presented. It's great when you hit the jumps but I found the physics quite unpredictable. You could change the dice to a different shape as the levels get completed (cube, 5 sided, 4 sided, 3 sided, coin) to avoid the rerolling problem. Alternatively if there was something you could gain from repeating a level could be cool to incentivise that, maybe extra re-runs or a modifier.
Well done
This is a very fun concept! It's very satisfying to complete a level. The idea is kind of similar to my game, but your presentation is much better!
Like the idea, visuals and camera animations, but
The game is hard to play, and not the right way hard
Most of my loses I was like "Why am I died?" because some hitboxes are really hard to understand
I was getting a bit frustrated until I realized there was a double jump, so some levels seemed impossible. But other than that, it was a fun game
It's preety hard for my, but i like it. Cool idea.
super fun game to play, controlls are a bit confusing at first but once you get use to it its epic !
Fun game, it looks way better than it has any right to! Took a while to get used to the jump but after that it was pretty smooth sailing. Well done!
It's good, however there is no feedback, did you actually got the dice or did you just die
Concept is preety cool! It took me a quick second to grasp the dice-rolling mechanic but when you get into the flow of the game, it's quite fun.
I found the platforming mechanics quite frustrating though - i often fell just before reaching a platform, and because of the unusual jump mechanic (more of a leap than a vertical jump) i fell into the void quite alot of times.
The dice animation is quite slow too, and it's length added to the frustration of losing a level - it almost felt like a punishment!
This is far from a critique of the game though - it looks really, really nice for a 48hr Game Jam game and has quite alot of content (i heard some people spent 20 - 30 minutes finishing the game, that's a heck of alot for a Game Jam game, great job!)
This game is really frustrating. I got to the end in 22 minutes and with only one level left, I sometimes had to wait almost 2 minutes for the dice to roll that level. But it looks great and it was fun, I enjoyed it. (The physics are really broken sometimes)
Game is fun, the concept is cool and helps break up monotony. The graphics are simple but they look nice and the footstep sounds add a lot. My biggest issues are that the physics are a but janky, and the die takes a little bit too long to role. But still a really solid entry!
Nicely done! There's an impressive amount of variety for a jam game.
Love this game seems like you guys worked very hard good job XD
Very good considering its a jam, I feel the only real improvement at this time would be the time to get back into a stage could be shorter
I agree, its all random as the dice is being rolled so theres no logic to chances on each side. So at the end stage it takes kina long :(
I liked it and enjoyed the presentation. But MANN the rolling dice between levels got annoying. By 12 minutes I had 1 level left. By 17 minutes I had attempted that level about 6 times since the 12 minute mark. Ended up getting frustrated with this mechanic to the point of quitting. Loved when I got to play but the downtime was way too much.
Bugs:
-Spamming the Crouch button launches you straight up.
-Jumping while Crouched launches you outside the map.
Very fun game just wish the dice could only roll available levels.
Update: Beat the game in 6 minutes using the bugs...
definitely agree about the dice it also gets me mad but didnt have enough time to fix :(
was a fun game to play have already recommended it to my friends and wanna thank those who made this game
I would probably say this is the best game I've ever tried.
This was a lot of fun! Took me about 12 minutes. The movement controls took a little bit of getting used to (Momentum feels a little weird right after landing from a jump), but I was surprised with how easily I was able to make pretty precise jumps.
My only complaint is that, towards the end when you only have one chamber left, you can be stuck watching the die roll for a long time before it picks the right room.
But I was determined to win. That's always a mark of a well made game. :)
thank you so much for a well explained review,
