I liked the idea but the wait for the explosion is too long and the mouse sensitivity is too high. Fix those things and your game will be perfect!

Very intresting idea. The level design is pretty good too

nice game, I like the design and the idea :D

I really like the level design and the idea of using dice for grenade jumping) Dandy work!

Some pretty good level design that makes you think about the mechanic in interesting ways.  The music was good and the electric field thingos were cool, but other than that the presentation was lacking - the stock one-metre squares could have some colour at least. I enjoyed the  challenge, but it was pretty unforgiving in that you usually had to restart when messing up. It was a cool idea though, and seemingly programmed well.

Very good idea, it took me a while to understand how to "pass" the puzzle, this game reminds me of the pain of starting over of this another game:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI4nTy3LDH0

Please check the sensibility and the exploding particles, in the 6 my computer lags (rtx3070ti)

Developer

That's odd, the 6 shouldn't perform any worse than the 1 because both have the same number of particles

Maybe it's the force or another thing :S

Really fun concept, but I had a few problems with this game, The sensitivity is way way too high, i even changed my sensitivity settings on my pc and it didnt help, my 2nd main problem is how excessive the explosion particles are, i could barely see where i was going with a 6 die and it lagged out my mid end pc. though with some work, maybe an options screen, this game can become very fun. Overall, needs some work, but a great idea nonetheless

Developer

The sensitivity issue has been fixed, but unfortunately I cant upload it before the end of the voting period. Sorry about that!

Explosive jumping is always fun. I would've liked to see a visual or audio timer for the dice to explode (ticking or a bar) since it kept trying to sync my jump with the explosion. Granted, if you roll a high enough dice you really don't need to jump but as someone who got into rocket jumping in TF2 you can't make me not jump for every explosion.

Developer

Good point, though due to how the knockback is calculated rn it's actually better to stand right on top of the dice than to jump

Great work :)

Pretty cool, could use some tweaks

the lighting is nice, could use some different environment textures

the dice feel like they roll too much, and can be a little annoying on small platforms
Could be a lot more fun if the dice were easier to jump around with, I wasn't able to get very far

Pretty solid game 👍

Pro tip, if you throw them straight down then they hardly roll at al

nice dice

The game overall seems really cool however I wasn't really able to play it since the default look sensitivity was extremally high for me.

Developer

Didn't really have time to add settings lol, sorry about that!
