The concept is Wow! 
But In the beginning, I thought that I need to shoot into dices :D

Idea is good, visual part is also near to perfection but it is a little bit too easy to play IMO.

I hope, you will be able to finish the game after the Jam!)

Great job!

Developer

Thanks for the good words!! I totally agree, it needs overall balancing and more challenges. I hope I can finish it!)

Quite fun! Though I keep running off the edge lol. Poor grandpa :'(

It reminds me a bit of those mobile game ads that look fun but you knooow aren't what the actual game is

Just a little side note, it would be better if the controls were consistent, so either clicking the boxes and clicking restart or pressing some keys for the actions and pressing R for restart. Also a pause button would be nice

In general, it's pretty fun. Good job!

Developer

Thanks a lot for the insightful comment and for your effort to save granpa :’)

Indeed I work as a game artist making those kind of games during the week :| so it’s a totally accurate observation v.v

And you are right about the side note! I made the same mistake reversed last year by putting a mouse click restart in a keyboard controlled game.

Cool idea!

Enjoyable and original concept. Although too rng based

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll try to balance rng/strategy ratio more, maybe it helps :)

An original concept that's very well executed. The game over sound effect is great. xD

Developer

Thank you so much! :D

Thanks a lot! :)

Very nice game. Learnt the controls very quickly. I kept dying by reaching the edge though which is slighty frustrating. Intense clicking and praying that a rotate or change speed would appear makes for a great game. Superb job!

Developer

Thanks a lot for your insights! Everyone keep falling of the cliffs, you are not alone :D It definitely needs balancing and some more options to maybe strategize the movements with a little bit more control, especially rotating.

Fun game :)

The powers are really cool, I think if there were a few more of them it would be great.

Developer

Thanks :) I also really like that part and wish to expand it and see how different skills would work together.

Addicting and well done!

Developer

Thanks!!

It's a fun idea, I love how you took every meaning of dice and put it everywhere x) I think the rotation thing paired with a cliff and an never stopping player can be frustrating but maybe I am only saying that because I fell off the cliff x)

Developer

Hahahaha :D laughed a lot to your comment! I exactly have the same question on my mind, maybe it can be solveable with some balancing or with adding another action like "Hit & 180 Turn"

The concept is pretty original. I think it can be pretty great with more content and challenge to it. Excited to see post-jam build if there's ever going to be one.

Developer

Thanks so much!! I definitely would want to increase the depth and the progression feeling on this one :)

Fun game, I enjoyed it after I figured out how the controls work! I found it quite interesting that the character can only rotate if you're lucky and have the dice for it

Developer(+1)

I'm glad that you enjoyed! Rotation part might need some balancing though :D sometimes at the edge of the board it leaves you desperate..

pretty fun game. the animations look pretty good and fulfilling

Developer

Thanks so much! :)

what’s the final point? )

Developer

It's a good question. Right now, just staying alive ) Reaching to a certain point to collect something and move to another level would be also pretty challenging since we don't have a direct control on movement v.v

(+1)

This has real potential - it's easy to think of lots of ways you could expand on the current gameplay, which is already pretty fun.

Developer(+1)

Oh, thanks so much!! I hope I can find time and motivation to push this forward after the jam v.v

Nice take on the breif! Nice anims for the rolling of the dice and the feedback was great! Well done team!

Developer

Thanks a lot! It was just me, without a team :D
