Cool effects! I like how the dice floats while charging the dashes

Submitted

Very cool concept for a jump and run! I really liked the graphics as well. Overall a really cool game, good job!

Submitted

Really cool idea. I think with a few bug fixes, it could be great.

Effects look really cool! Nice concept, would want to see what a more polished version would look like

Submitted

Really good idea! I feel like with a bit more time to polish, this could be an extremely fun game. I'd suggest introducing the dashes little by little to the player first so that it's not too overwhelming to learn them all at once. But really good job!

Submitted

This is a great platformer, with the dashes adding a unique twist. Good Job!

Submitted

The dash different dashes are a little hard to work with but once I got it down the levels were fun to play through, good job! :)

Submitted

Very unique mechanics making for an interesting new platformer experience. The vibrant colors are a perfect fit and add to the fun. Good job!

Submitted

I really like the dash mechanic in concept but think it could use a bit more polish to feel just right! Cool game, good job!

Submitted

Cool idea with the dash mechanic, but getting the timing right is hard. Also, having the pulling force originate from a different place than the center of gravity makes it really hard to predict your landing spot.

I guess i DIE then :D This is too hard for me :D

Submitted

Level one caused a lot of rage but level 2 was pretty enjoyable

Submitted

I really like the dash mechanic, it fits the theme well and is really fun to play with! Awesome Game!

The dashes were definitely interesting and fun, although I felt like I was usually dreading getting any of the ones that "undid" you dash. I think that if those ones (like 2 and 4) were adjusted so that they turned sooner and you could better use them by simply pointing them in the reverse direction than where you wanted to go, then they would have felt a lot better and made the pacing of the platforming feel better overall. That being said, it was a fun game!

^ I felt the same way. Just give me 3s, 1s, and 5s all day. Even if the time to release was shorter so the game was more about reacting to the dash you got rather than just hoping you don't get 2/4/6 again.

The aesthetics were nice as well - especially those dash lines. I would suggest making the platforms darker - it took me a little bit to realise there was a second platform on Stage 1 (where the tutorial text is) as I thought it was just a single platform practice level for a bit.

level 1 is very hard, level 2 is where it gets interesting

The different dashes took me some time to learn, but once i got it, I had great fun! A very versatile game that changes each time you play it. 10/10!

The Gameplay is so creative and dynamic. At the start I struggled but when I got used to the different dashes and how to use them it became a hell lot of fun. By far the best Gameplay I have played at this Game Jam so far. The Platform mechanic with the rolling of the different dashes has so much potential.

Reminded me of Red Ball at the start, which was cool. I enjoyed rolling for the dash too, cool way to implement the dice theme. Great game!

Submitted

nice

Epic Game!
