I really loved the graphics, and the fact that you made this last minute AND you only used vanilla JS really shows how talented you are! Well done!

Interesting game with great presentation

Great concept idea, the color palette is well chosen!

A bit more clarity in game phase would be nice, in order to fully appreciate what happens.

Overall good work!

I like the pallete, but the RNG is bad if you want to do sick strats.

Also, why does the screen warping only half-works ? I can warp to the right but not to the left.

Developer(+1)

Without RNG it wouldn't fit the theme so i had to find a way to do that, and the wrapping is a bug because i didn't use a game engine. Thanks for playing :D

Interesting concept, quick and simple! Good job!

Very cool little game and one of the most creative ideas I've seen so far this jam. I like that you implemented some difficulty levels on top of the randomisation. Good job!

Submitted(+1)

Nice concept and take on the theme. I kinda wish there were levels or maybe a high score system to encourage the player to play more but other than that a great game!

Submitted(+1)

Really interesting concept. Wish there was some more complexity in some way to encourage alternative playstyles though. Beyond that, I enjoyed it!

Submitted(+1)

Really neat idea, loved the execution but I wish I could've seen the value of the die before I moved to encourage more strategic thinking

Submitted(+1)

Love the concept and it plays pretty well! For me there was a huge jump in difficulty from hard to impossible. I thought you did a great job with the art and the feel of the game, and impressive to me what you did without a game engine! I did kind of wish there was a little more control over my character. Maybe being able to drop down through the platform, ala smash brothers.

The idea is original and well executed ! 

There are some technical details , like the red enemies seemingly having much better movement than the player and some glitching through walls / roofs that didn't seem intentional ? 

The art is simple but very effective. The only real problem I'd say is that there's not a huge sense of progression, maybe there could be some things to unlock to change the gameplay after a few levels  ? 

All in all great job though i really enjoyed it !
