I ended up getting a much of jump upgrades, which allowed me to jump once and avoid a lot of the level. Until I fell into an endless pit. Love the idea as a unique take on the endless runner genre.

Really interesting game!
I feel like if I knew what each face was going go to do next I could use that to strategize when to land in a certain number.
The graphics are interesting very unique, but it felt a little bit confusing to look at at certain parts with a lot of light.
Overall a fun experience!

Dice-O-ManiaGreat idea, and the presentation is spot-on. However, it never really felt worthwhile to stop on a certain side and wait for the timer -- I always died that way, just from losing momentum, and it felt better just to keep going and hope for the best.

Do or Die!The shader is stunning! Great stuff!
Do check out our game too :) https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-jam-2022/rate/1616966
The shader looks visually amazing. Unfortunately, I sometimes had problems of seeing edges. The dice also sticks to walls, which disrupts the flow of gameplay. I also feel like you have to be very lucky to beat the game. In my last playthrough I only got buffs, I was then able to skip most of the level by just jumping. Despite that, i think this is a great submission with a very unique visual style. Good job!

Dice GunPretty cool game! Presentation is great. Colours can be a bit misleading but that wasn't problem for me. For some reason if I move fast enough the dice just doesn't jump, that was frustrating. But overall: good job!

Dice FightGreat aesthetics. The music is funky.
The game took a long time to load. Then it crashed when I clicked rolling out.
When I clicked rolling in, it seems to be an isometric infinite runner but you randomly get different buffs.
It can be difficult determining if I will make a jump from this camera angle.
You are rolling a die, and getting random buffs from the die, but I don't feel like this mechanic benefits the game in any meaningful way.

Rollie's ForestSuper fun to chain together lots of speed upgrades and fly through the level. Found myself playing back through it even after finishing to try to get a faster time. Great job!
(Would've been nice to explain somewhere before the upgrade/downgrade is applied which dice faces correspond to which though)

To Dice With DeathThe game is good, I like the art style although it is hard to distinguish the void from platforms sometimes

Beat the dieYo does this have an end ? , love the color theme, it's hard to distinguish void from platform sometimes due to color but that's ok .

Death RouletteArt looks very pretty, I didn't see the void chasing me but this is a solid game for the time there was!
Submitted
Monster MashReally liked the artstyle, and once the upgrades built up it was fun to basically fly through the stage. I found that trying to time which side of your die was up didn't make much of a difference, pressing forward and hoping for the best worked out fine.
