Clever concept! I feel like I want to have a little more variation of what I can do as a player. But for such idia maybe that's not necessary.
Great work!

Dice, I Hate Dice!Sweet game - I liked the presentation and thought the concept was pretty solid :)
I never really got an intuition of how far a jump would take me; but the restart mechanic was forgiving enough to keep it fun :)

Slice And DiceI really appreciated the game, I think that it just need something that tell you on average how much jump roll do you need for the next platform

Live or DiceThis is an AMAZINGLY original concept and i really love the simplistic art. The gameplay is actually really simple once you figure it out and it is aesthetically pleasing. Although i think you should work on polishing it a bit more. The controls feel slightly clunky and when you die there should be a message because the first time i died it didnt feel like a death and i may have embarrasingly lost 3 lives figuring out what i did wrong lol.

Spicy Dicey PuzzlerHuge thanks for the feedback! I'll probably revisit this later this week, and I'll definitely try to make it communicate your death better. Would you mind trying to describe in a bit more detail how the controls felt clunky, so that I can try to improve that too? I obviously played the game a lot during development and got very used to it, so I don't think I'm able to judge it as well myself. :)
well for starters when the person jumps onto a platform it immediately snaps camera to his position. This may feel a bit clunky so there are a few solutions. 1. wait a few seconds before making camera lock back onto him although may make game less fast in terms of gameplay 2. smoothly lerp camera into the player this will seem smooth but might also undermine the low res graphics. Do the same thing for when u die and also add a message or effect indicating that you have died.
+ props for doing this fun game as just a single person without an engine; the style and game mechanics made it feel like a gameboy minigames that's more strategic than you first anticipated which i think is very fitting
// i'm sure with maybe one or to collectables on the map this would be even more engaging :)

Dice Path DuelistThank you! Interestingly, the graphical style mostly grew organically from a random technical decision I made to represent every sprite as a single 64 bit integer. I guess that vaguely emulates the hardware constraints games were dealing with back in the day, which is why it's visually so reminiscent of old games.
Thanks also for the suggestion. I had some more ideas for this game that I didn't manage to get working in time for the jam deadline, as well as one or two that I came up with afterwards, so I might still revisit it later!
Really excellent, there's more strategy involved than I thought at first

DicetopianI thought this was just pure random at first, but there's actually a good amount of strategy trying to decide between whether to go for a short or long jump. Got pretty into it. Insane you didn't use an engine, really absurd it's this good.
