It's a very good idea.
I remember a lot of good ideas on the GMTK jam with the "Out of Control" theme, but here the change of control feels really good. Changing one movement button with a demonstration beforehand of what will be replaced is a good approach, reasonably player friendly.
The only time I got lucky was when the W button changed to itself on the move up :D You can also exclude the current assigned one from the set of keys to replace, so it doesn't feel like it's staying the same.
I really like the animations and style. "You can feel like an amoeba in this game". Very cool :D
This game is straight fire omg! Visuals are super clear and the timing before each control change feels really good! The game has a really nice pace and learning curve great work!!
really original and fun idea! nice work!
Nice polished game, visuals are great and music and sound choice is spot on. My best was 105!
Neat little game, but not sure how it fits into "dice rolling" specifically, instead of just randomness.

I really like your implementation of the theme! You can randomly get a really terrible control configuration, but you still feel like you have a way of winning if you can get your fingers to cooperate. Nice job!
Really fun take on the theme! I got 162 points
I love how the controls get mixed, really pushed the randomness part of the theme, and makes every run really unique. The graphics are also great!
pretty cool concept and a good idea of maaking the buttons change but it dont have anything to do with the theme" roll of the dice"
Thank you! Yeah, I chose to interpret the theme more in terms of randomized mechanics rather than including dice in the game--the theme is pretty broad in that way
yeah that was a cool concept
Very fun concept, kind of reminds me of Twister, but on a keyboard. Got me very confused about where to put my hands.
Hm, nice work, dude! Gameplay and arts are nice and cute! Btw, an idea like mine xD
Great art and presentation ! The gameplay is also very innovative, but quite hard, especially for me who don't have a qwerty keyboard, even when I start I have to do a mental effort to control the character
Such a fun and cute idea! I love the sprite art and the music suits the game perfectly. Great work!
two changed control keys is so difficult
I liked art and sound design! The changing buttons is fun, but with combination with something else it can be more interesting!
This game has no right to be as good as it is for a game jam game. Love the art, love the gameplay. Really well done
A simple and creative idea! The game turned my mind inside out, but it was fun to play. I bet it would be like finger-twister if you played 2 player!
Quite simple yet addictive idea. It takes you out of the "conventional controls wasd" comfort zone and offers you a new challenge to overcome!
Enjoyed the game! Interesting control switch up, really challenged my brain. Art style was very cute.
