I’ve seen this concept in a couple of games by now, but this one nailed presentation, the slow mo is awesome! Just wish I could move the camera up and down and also turn while the shot is rolling. Very good execution and very fun game! Congrats!

My game is about golfing with a die that can toggle between a rolling sphere and a traditional cube.

Creative idea! Managed to shoot a 4 on 3-hits (the last hit just doesn't count against you if it goes in!). Obviously more content would be great, some quality of life upgrades maybe, but a really cool idea!

A Liar's DiceNice game. For me the main complaint was about getting the angle deviation right, you could line up the shot perfectly and then miss because your timing on the angle deviation was off, which was very frustrating. There was a bit of lag between when you pressed the space bar and when the line actually stopped, so I tried to correct for that by pressing the space bar when the line was on the boundary between the yellow and green regions, but, perhaps compounded by my bad timing, that strategy didn't work as well. Sometimes I overshot, sometimes I undershot, only a few times did the line land in the centre green region. It's possible the lag wasn't constant for some reason.
Maybe my timing was just bad, but I felt like the angle deviation meter took a lot of fun out of the game because of how unforgiving it felt. I took an OBS recording of the game, and it seemed like 1. the game was running only at about 30 fps, and 2. the line only spent about 1-2 frames in each coloured region, which needed the player to be extremely precise. If you want to improve it, you could either make the line move slower, or take a cue from rhythm games on how they capture input from players between frames and interpolate it to get the position the line should be.
With that said, the graphics and audio were all well done, and the idea was interesting, though I felt it was a bit too RNG-based. Good job!

Roll Of The DiceUnfortunately I was the only one that ever tested the game before the jam deadline, and it seems the meter is much easier to time on a high refresh rate monitor while playing at high fps. The framerate is unlocked in unity, but the web build will be limited to the framerate that the browser tells it to run at. If I play on my main monitor it's 144 fps and feels reasonable to time, but on my second monitor it's 60 fps and feels noticeably harder to time. If yours (and other people's) are running at 30 fps for whatever reason, then I can definitely see how that would feel really bad to time. I'll probably consider locking my jam games to 60 fps in the future, for a more consistent experience regardless of the hardware/software that runs it.
Thanks for playing, and thanks for the feedback!
Nice game ! If you're willing go to further, I thought that the left-right gauge after the power gauge is a bit frustrating, as it overrides the fact that the want to aim accurately, and the power is already there to give you some "randomness". Or maybe make it go a bit slower !

Trolling the DiceThere's another game with a similar concept where you're hitting a die with a golf cart and the side it lands on is added to your score, but my problem with it was that the game depends on luck a lot more than on skill. What's cool is that this game has an actual solution to that problem with these slow down time and stop mechanics, which are a clever way to keep the idea but have it be less pure RNG.

Don't Get FiredI got a score of 3! I wish there were more levels but I really liked the time slow effect. Good job!

King Of The BoardNice idea about the golf, very unique.
The power / accuracy bar is very laggy and it's hard to pull off the shoot you wanted to.
Graphics could be improved.
The concept was quite original though. Well done.

The Fun FactorGreat game, it's very creative.
The art is simple but looks good. The sound effects really help seal the whole outside golfing theme.
I didn't expect to see a golfing game in a game jam but you pulled it off perfectly.

dicesmith.I like the idea of this. Honestly, I'm a fan of golf minigames so a little bias may show -- good and bad. I like it because it is a nice twist to usual golf. The game's mechanic of "stop the ball when you want" alongside the slowing of time allows varying degrees of difficulty manipulation per player. The die adding points to your final score is neat as well, encouraging players to use the above functions to their advantage so that they take the least amount of shots to avoid the extra points added to the final score. I find it very creative on your part. The only thing that I didn't like was the lack of a feedback/directional line to start the swing. But, it's not necessarily needed due to the potential deviation offset so I got over it and it didn't affect my rating. It'd be nice to have in theory but I can also see a counterargument for it. Good job.
