I loved the concept, nice interpretation of the theme! Out of all the games I haven't seen any using the "Roll of the dice" similar to how you did! The idea was very well executed and I had a good time with this :) Keep it up!

Nice idea! very easy to understand! I found that if you fall off you keep falling, and the arrows a bit difficult to dodge, but had lots of fun!

Thanks for playing and commenting. Yes, protection at the sides was one of the things I didn't manage to do in time before submission. With the arrows, timing is crutial, because you have to do a jump with much force in the right moment. When I made the video after submitting the game I had the feeling, that I was timing my moves after a beat, maybe I will change this into a rhythm game after the jam :-D

Really fun idea! It was a bit tricky to control the jump and I didn't really understand how the curse/powerup system worked, but there's definitely a degree of strategy in choosing which direction to roll and how far when you consider how you regain mana.

Thanks for your comment. First I went with a system that tilts the cube/die cleanly over an edge, but the physics/torque impulse thing somehow felt better, though ist hard to master. I think the movement would work better on a mobile device, if it was done by swiping. Then the force would by determined by swipe length or speed. It definately makes sense to time your powerful jumps/rolls to dodge the projectiles of the enemies.
