I just released a game where I took the companion cube and I slapped a
superpower on each side. It’s a short game where you use this cube to solve puzzles.
But every time you throw it, you activate whatever ability ends up on top.
I made this game in 48 hours for the GMTK 2022 Game Jam alongside Tarodev, so make sure you check his channel out as well :D https://www.youtube.com/c/Tarodev
