Love the game! I adore how each dice offers a unique mechanic that makes the gameplay more entertaining, they even have their own personalities! Giving the player the option to test with each dice before playing is a nice touch as well. Everything about it looks, feels, and sounds polished. Awesome work!

Developer

Thank you for playing!

I love the characters for each of the sides and the different mechanics you thought out for them. I am a sucker for the Icy Tower, and this gives off the Icy tower vibes, but it seems as if the "level" design and feel is not up to how the characters feel. I suggest getting a way to follow the player (speed up the level) if they go too fast upwards, give a speed boost for good combos and mix in the walls in the game mechanic. Good effort and good job on completing this in 2 days. It looks like you have had a lot of fun.

Developer

Those are really good ideas (I am totally stealing them haha). Thanks for the feedback!

Your take on the theme is creative and fun. I love the old-school feel this gives off. The artwork and animations were on point and it was really easy to pick up and start playing.

Great decision allowing people to experiment with the controls before playing the game, it really helped in teaching the core-mechanic of the game.

Great submission!

I really dig the adaptive soundtrack! The character's abilities are quite interesting, I just feel like they aren't explored enough. The gameplay forces me to wait for the screen to shift, then I jump/rise one way or another. Maybe including something to dodge or collect could make the movement more interesting. Still a great game, well done :)!

Submitted

Great idea, loved the visuals! However, I've encountered some bugs - mainly, the characters didn't correspond to their abilities, I've had 1 crying, for example, and once I had a character combining two abilities at once. Also I was somehow able to softlock myself at the start with an endlessly spinning die. Still, great presentation!

Developer

Dang you experienced all of the known bugs in one run - I am so sorry haha. Thank you for trying it out regardless! We appreciated it!

Nice job on your game.  The mechanic was very interesting and fun.  My favorite aspect of your game was definitely the way you had the music change up to different styles with every different face but kept it the same song.  Also very clever title and the title is definitely what made me click to play and was pleasantly surprised to find just the name wasn't good.

Submitted

very cool concept!
game is quite fun to play and the idea really was creative!
i think the game would be even more fun to play if there was 1 more additional thing going on independently of your movement
good job!

Super energetic arcade vibe with great polish, nice work! I mostly played by spamming jump rather than trying to understand the jumps, probably not what you intended. Fun nevertheless. Cheers!

Submitted

Love this! So cute :)

Submitted

Quite nice! Once I learned the jump of each die, it became more fun! I think it would have helped to introduce the dice progressively rather than all at once. But overall, it's a nice game. Also, super cute dice!

I never knew you could inject so much personality into dice faces, I love how the music changes with each one! I think the platforms themselves could have had more depth/complexity to them, but overall this is a fun game with a ton of charm. Great work!

I loved every single character you used!!! They're so unique and distinctive, it's easy to remember their jump style! Also, kudos to you for the simple self explaining tutorial at the start; maybe I would have not randomized the faces there, but made it linear. Nice juice and sfx! Little bug: on the first jump my cube turned sideways and then every jump I made had the animation play horizontally!

Cutest dice I’ve seen so far! Loved the different abilities

Submitted

The game is super cute. I ended at 33. If I can clearly remember the meaning of every dice, it would be more interesting. Currently I can only remember that the pink dice is very danger and often make me die.

Developer

Yes  the pink one is super deadly - it definitely needs to be tweaked. Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

A nice and simple idea, loved the dice faces and sound design. The pink one does need to be tweaked because it was hard to use.

Submitted

Clever game with amazing sound design, but the actual gameplay felt really imbalanced. The pink one was impossible to control while with all the others you could just hold space.

Submitted

I love it ! The sound design is insane ! And the concept very fun, I love the different characters and that they each got a mood, very nice game

Submitted

super fun and relaxing game! the music is top notch, changing with each face works so well! terrific job!

Submitted

cute game, well done! its a fun little concept!

Submitted

Very well made, nice job! It's a little simple, but fits the theme and the 50 hours limit, pretty fun! Congratulations for the submission!

Thank you! Yeah everything including the soundtrack/sfx and artwork were all made within the time limit so we opted to keep things very simple haha
