Roll On Dice - Jam VersionI have murdered more than a few cyclists. The cops do nothing. Gaming. Great dice mechanics and art. The car bobs from left to right like real cars should. 8/8 mate.

Beebo Attempts MagicThis is so well done!! I really like the artwork! For a solo developer that might have been tough!

Skye's DiceVery funny and fun to play. I like the art and the music choice is nice too.
I was surprised by losing suddenly despite my health having been OK a moment earlier, I'm not sure if it's a glitch

Elemental Dice WalkingThank you for the kind words. There are 2 losing mechanics, health and fuel. While playing the game I noticed you'd tend to stick with one a couple of dices without an incentive to re-roll, which is why I added the fuel concept with a 6 as refuel ability. If neither health nor fuel were empty, than it might be a bug which is very possible :)
Great game !
The idea is unique, and very well done. The balance between the random of the dice and the strategic choices is on point.
The environment is very effective, though I'd have loved to see it with subtler lighting.
Some little problems I noticed : the ground tiling isn't perfect and I did see Unity's skybox sometimes. Also, once I arrived to roughly 3/4 of the max distance, it stopped going forward there was no obstacle anymore. I could just draw the dice.
Overall, I really enjoyed your game, with its refreshing concept and tight realization.

How to Dice MushroomsThank you very much for the feedback, appreciate it! You are 100% right about both lighting and tiling. Unfortunately they are both only happening in the webgl export. The pc built as a subtler orangy light and red point lights at the back of the car. The tiling is also nearly invisible. When I export to webgl I get a massive gap, different light amount for the directional (sun) and the car tail lights disappear. Probably fudged some settings in the export, I have only been using unity for a month or so
The second bug you mentioned, the obstacles disappearing, is a bit weird. I did find that bug at the last minute and patched the build 25 seconds before the end of the submission. A friend played the game yesterday and didn't encounter it. I don't know if the submission might have picked the old version of the game
The graphics are really cool, the game mechanic is simple and the music is pleasing to listen to. Impressive to gave a complete arcade game done by a solo dev. The animations for the dice are also nice!

Dice VersaThank you very much for your feedback, greatly appreciated! This is my first jam and part of the reason to do it was to practice in Blender and animations (I am a programmer by trade). The dice are actually not animated. They are physical objects spawned with a random spin and velocity and I use the final orientation (once they are nearly stopped) to determine the number (dot product on the transform of the dice with the world axes to figure out which face is looking up) :)
