I love the vibes of this game sm!! The dithering effects give a really nice look and the animations feel superb with really strong feeling poses. (No wonder you keep winning game jams) :)
This level was sadly known to be bugged due to an oversight in the code for levels with checkpoints - which were definitely spaced too far apart (Playtesting was a privilege we couldn't afford lol) - but I'm glad you enjoyed our main mechanic!
Very nice dialogue and artwork - the presentation was great! Could have done with more complex mechanics and more different die to make each fight feel more unique - but playing the game was quite fun!
Very nice graphically - although I wish there were more mechanics based around the dice number. Highscore is a fun idea that I didn't see a lot this jam so good work on including that! :)
I like the art - and the locking mechanic is something I didn't see a lot in this jam is nice. A cool extension of the mechanic would be having to worry about timing of actions in a turn based system - but otherwise really neat and looks good! :)
Would be nice if all the faces of the dice were more clear at once - but otherwise nice simple puzzle game and I'm surprised I didn't see more games with the same mechanic!
Really like the idea - super addicting! Just needs more content and dice-related unique items and effects but otherwise one of the most unique and best games I have played this jam!
Interesting idea of stacking buffs and weapon system - but I felt like the dice rolled too fast during gameplay and lmb for right hand while rmb for left hand wasa little unintuitive. Otherwise really cool mechanics for this jam :)
Very good take on the theme and nice visuals! It's a shame that you didn't get time to add more features or more animation to the interface - as the idea is great but feels kind of simple at times
Glad you enjoyed the game! Having funny combinations of effects was definitely an idea we were going for and I'm glad you found the amount of content interesting. I definitely felt what you mean about the game being slow, perhaps we should have made the dice a bit less bouncy...
The 5th level had a very unfortunate combination of bugs - and the spacing of checkpoints was a symptom of lack of time to playtest. It's especially frustrating knowing that changing a single number in a script could have made the game much more enjoyable for most players :((
REALLY REALLY satisfying - Amazing work with animations. The exlamation mark next to enemies you can damage is a really nice touch and my only criticism is that the indicator for what dice you have queued is small and not in a constant location so it is hard to refer to with eye muscle memory - but other than that the best submission that I have played yet!
Thank you! Hollow knight was definitely one of the bigger inspirations to this game. Unfortunate about the boss - if only we had more time to playtest...
Thank you! I found out about Pikuniku just before starting on this game, and the trailer kept replaying in my head whenever I was searching for ideas so that's probably why the game feels a bit similar lol. Hope you had fun with it! :)
Thank you for the good feedback - the adaptive soundtrack was probably my favourite part to implement as I got to listen to the snazzy music while developing :)
Thanks for the kind words! About the puzzles, a few of them in the clouds area were actually based on unintended solutions to old puzzles which is probably why they felt like they had cheesy solutions - there really are a lot of exploits when your game is based on physics ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Definitely not the first but probably the best ape-related puzzle game I have seen on this jam, the central idea makes for some really fun puzzles - which are also really well designed, good job :)
