How does your game fit the theme?
The dice are joined together, they move together, their sums change the world around them. No dice are left behind. I also thought (since English is not my first language) that when you count the pips on multiple dice was called "joining together" the numbers, but I was mistaken. Woopsies.

Did your team create the vast majority of the music during the 48 hours?

Great game! Loved the music and presentation, everything was very readable which is important for a puzzle game like this. The gameplay is very intensive and for me personally it was a bit hard at times to plan out future moves to get into the right place but given more time I probably would have clicked with it a bit more.

Good job!

Developer

Indeed. Future will bring more levels to space out the difficulty more, and "train" the brain step by step. Initial plan was to have only Big Red in the beginning, and you would "find" the others along your travels. Purple Pete always being the aloof outsider.

Amazing Game, great execution. Need mobile version ASAP

Developer

Good to know :) I think a tablet version would really be something as well :)

That was amazing, super polished, great communication and fun ideas explored!

Also someone did their homework on the puzzle designs :P

Couldn't rate it any less than full, good job

Aw shucks, thank you so much :) can't wait for the review period to be over, got so many more concepts for puzzle maps.

Awesome idea. well polished. The difficulty is pretty high, but thats ok. With more time some tutorial levels could really help. This is definitely something that could be expanded on greatly, so  nice work!

Developer

Thanks :) Indeed, the dif. curve is quite steep, especially when you want to show a lot of loony concepts in so few levels. But glad you liked it.

I think I rolled a seven one time there.. Neat concept for a puzzle game!

Having just now awoken from the Jam post-slumber I can assure you that the dice will in fact never whisper secrets of the universe to you... *ahem* but thanks for playing :)

Wonderful puzzles. Really hard to wrap your head around, but it started to make sense. Really want to see more!

Developer

Glad you had a good time :) I have close to a full booklet of graphpaper filled with strange concepts and special blocks I would love to try out, so no matter how the game fares this jam, I can assure you more levels and thingies will appear once I am allowed back in the fray.

Brilliant. Great visuals! Well done!

Nice clean art style, but the puzzle was a bit confusing at first.

Developer

Yeah, the slope is quite steep. With more time I would love to make more levels teaching the mechanics and ramping up the difficulty more smooth :)

It's visually stunning, but I do think the puzzle is too complicated. I find it difficult to see what options I even have. I can't work towards something, because with every move everything changes. Still a very good result for the Jam!

That was really good :D
