In The Walls [GMTK 2022]
After a cat steals your last piece of cheese, it's up to you and your newly acquired magic dice to get it back. Scale the inside of the kitchen wall and take back what it rightfully yours!
Tips:
- In the settings there is a debug option for showing what dice power is currently in effect.
- If you get stuck, you can load the last checkpoint from the menu.
- All controls can be rebound in the settings menu.
- If the dice refuses to respawn, there's a setting option to force it to respawn on your back.
Controls:
- A and D to move left and right
- W to jump
- Click and hold to aim dice
- E to cancel a throw
- "F" to interact
What is Project 2021?
Over the course of this year, I am trying to tell a story between all of my games. While you do not need to play any prior or following games to enjoy this, the lore does build. Can you piece together the story that is being told?

- Out Of Time
- Armor Of God
- Death Percent
- Rouge Royale
- A Name Is Earned
- Last Man Standing
- Joining Forces
- Second Son
- Death Percent 2

Theme:
- The theme of this jam was 'Roll of the Dice'. In this game, you use your dice for combat, timing the attacks carefully to maximize damage. Beware the cat who wields a 20 sides dice of his own.

the doors and blocks are very similar to Joining Forces....
In The Walls ->Joining Forces -> A Drunk Thief's Return???
Highlighting one error in CHROME: Tapped to another tap in Chrome shortly, came back and clipped out of bounce
I like the idea that the player can wait for the dice roll to attack rather than it being completely random. It gives the player more control. The movement and jumping feel good but it's hard to tell which things you can stand on and how much of them you can stand on. I think this is due to a lack of contrast with the background and there being no outline on the area you can stand on. Good job overall.
Nice gameplay and combat, but it would be helpful if you made it more clear as to where the player is supposed to go since the map is very big.
