Almost saved the cat.

The controls are very creative! You have to balance making progress forwards by holding W, and not rolling the die too much to keep the cat safe, which is also caused by the same action! I got pretty far, but was having some rendering issues unfortunately (all textures were grey). Judging by the screenshots though, the game has a really neat artstyle. The setting is fun (love navigating spaces where you see regular objects from unusual perspectives, such as the player being really small), and the cat is really cute. Congrats on submitting!

I won't dock any points for my rendering issues as it may be caused by the game not supporting Linux. I'd love to play a native build post-jam, if possible!

Thanks for playing! That's a good point, we'll have to upload a linux and mac version after the jam

The game is pretty fun, but I wish it was a little easier. Still, for a jam game very nice.

I really wanted to save the cat, but this dice wants to roll. I can play to the bridge, but what next? I don't know. Art and gameplay is funny, do you want to make this game after the Jam?

We might expand on the game later. I'm personally really happy with how it turned out, but the controls have a lot of room for improvement. Also, there are all kinds of obstacles we could create that would make for fun additional levels. We'll see.

Thanks for playing!

Came for the cat. Could not make any real progress, tried rolling, jumping, jumping and rolling, but just kept dying near the start. Really wanted to see the rest of the course though.

As a creator of this game, I also die at the start

Controls are a bit rough. The concept makes sense in theory but it would need some very tight controls to go with it. In the current state it gets more frustrating than fun.

The game could have fit the theme better, but with a lot of polishing it might become a decent 3d platformer.

I have no clue what I'm doing, or how I'm supposed to do it, but oh boy, I can't stop trying : D
