Fun twist on a classic platforming game and a unique take on the theme! It was a bit confusing to me that low rolls are better than high ones, since generally it's the other way around. Also some QoL changes like making the character auto-equip the next die when the current one is empty would be nice. Other than that I really enjoyed it though! Good job, nicely done!

Nice idea with a simple but good art sytle. It can be a little difficult the first time, but you'll get the hang of it quickly. 
Good job all round!

Great style, it reminds me good old games like "solomon's key"

This game is brutal! I enjoyed the concept, I think I understand in hindsight why lower rolls are stronger, although it’s a bit backwards compared to how most games implement dice roll systems.

The music could use some work, I could imagine some sort of track that develops as you progress through the game.

Thanks for the feedback!

 The reason why lower rolls are stronger is to have better control about the randomness by attacking with a D4. However I completely see how this can be somewhat counter-intuitive.
