Wow this was extremely creative! I definitely tried to think about how to do a game about weighted dice when brainstorming and couldn't come up with anything but this is super clever, I love it! Kudos to the dice rolling on the right hand side, the dice themselves look awesome, the roll works great with the physics (even the reroll on cocked dice, nice job!) and is overall super satisfying. I definitely found the game tough since it all happens fast, even using the midair slowmo was tough (maybe a button to activate slowmo instead and have it be much more slow?) But regardless, really awesome job here!

Developer

Thank you very much! Hmm yes that might work better, we'd have to experiment with it a bit more to get a good feel for it. We had it slower before but it was too floaty - sounds like we overcorrected. Thanks a lot for playing and for all your kind words :)

I really enjoyed it, though i would limit the max velocity you can use, as you can make it real big, bascially bouncing you right in the opposit direction, which is a bit of a cheese

It's a bit of an exploit, isn't it! Yep, that sounds like a good solution to it too. Thanks for playing and for your comment

Very  wild, unique, & creative idea. I think you implemented it very well, especially the physics, even though its a little too hard for me. The presentation looks cool too, the dice is looking good & shiny, love it. Super awesome job!

WOW! I didn't expect it

the art and design are so fun! and the mechanic is unique, hard to grasp but worth it! 

WELL DONE!

This is a great entry! The idea is very interesting and original and I feel like it has a lot of room for expansion, like different dice characters with certain abilities or something. I love how it's dice inside dice rolling dice to cheat on a dice game xD nice job!

Developer(+1)

We made every effort to lean into the theme, it's good to be noticed! Thanks for your comments :)

Brilliant take on the theme! May I just add that the physics for rolling the dice was top-notch!

Really cool idea for a game! Nice execution, nice artstyle! Was fun to play a bit more polishing and its really great, good job!

Submitted(+1)

the art was pretty good but that's about it. the gameplay needs a good amount of polish.

The idea is so crazy! Dice inside dice! Devil! I loved it! Loved the art style and esp. face on a small die. Rolling dice into the box feels very satisfying as well. And music hits hard. Great experience overall!
P.S. Loved that you don’t have to pick individual dice to move in a certain direction and you just allow to move if you have unused turns there. Very convenient, would be a huge pain otherwise

Developer

Thanks for the kind words! Marco and Veridis worked on that part, they did a great job.

I liked the art and premise a lot! Though the physics feel a little off in a way I can't quiiite put my hand on.

Cool game! It's very intuitive and overall really addicting to play. The dice rolls feel very fair too since there are a lot of different ways to reach the coins. Great work!

Developer

Thank you! That was one of my worries and why you have so many movement dice, I'm glad that you got good rolls!

Really interesting core concept! Loved that you could physically roll a bunch of dice. The physics in the loaded die though were very hard to control, and it was really easy to get myself stuck in the corner, even with the slow-mo trick.

Developer

Thanks for playing! While the loaded die physics were supposed to be the main challenge of the game we didn't polish that up our ideal state. I intended to experiment with more feedback and modifying the physics properties to make it feel more intuitive, I'm sure the others had similar ideas too.

Nice concept and good presentation!

Nice concept, and fun and clever title with good controls. I love the grumpy main character. Great job!

Great concept, amazing control, dice roll and choosing direction is smooth. Love it dearly!

Nice GAme!

games that let me roll 10+ dice at once are good ones!!!!!!!!!!

Submitted(+1)

Very neat concept! There are certain spots that are easy to get stuck at during certain board orientations, but otherwise very cool! 

Submitted(+1)

Great Idea, my favourite part was throwing the dice. So satisfying!

This is a nice game! I love the art style and the different dice fore movement mechanics is very clever!

Great Job!
