Very interesting idea! I'm not sure if it's the marathon coding of today, but I found the speed a tad frustrating to get right, so couldn't past the first dungeon. Maybe it's speed differs per machine/browser? Anyway, real creative way and quite interesting; I tried to beat the level for at least 10 times before I gave up.

This was an interesting game. I found the speed of the spinner to be very frustrating and couldn't get past the first dungeon I tried to beat the level about 15 times but then I ended up giving up. The graphics and audio is great though.

Thanks for the feed back! I slowed down the spinner a little bit.

The idea of "start with nothing" is super creative and I like it. But the spinner is too fast that I thought I need to dice randomly which turned out to be wrong.

I like the idea too but the spinner is way way too fast. Once I got the concept I couldn't pass the first level when really trying.

The speed of the spinner was ok in my opinion. Visuals and audio were great! I encountered a bug though: Sometimes, I rolled a 0 (no movement, -1 move and the field I'm standing on was reapplied). Fun little game overall! :)

Fun game, a bit hard and unforgiving, but all in all very nice!

Fun game and cool idea. Love the "die" spinner interpretation.

very different mechanic -- it kind of works but is pretty hard -- maybe some buffs to slow the dice down -- thanks for making it

It definitely takes some practice to get used to the spinner. Other than that the game's concept is pretty unique from what I've seen in the jam! Nice work :thumbsup:

The mechanic is inovator, but it's hard.

I feel like this might be better if the levels were harder to figure out and the distance was easier to choose. By the time I made it to the 3rd level I was tired of the spinner selection. I knew what steps I needed to take, it just took forever to do them.

Great game! Always love to find games in LD that are fun to play by itself, and to which I would probably return after some time just to have fun.

The controls were a bit laggy for me sometimes - either the button push won't register, or it will, but with a noticeable lag. But it doesn't happen too often.
