Thanks!

I’ve done my fair share of pushing dice around in this jam, but your presentation (making a bit of a world around it) and the addition (pun!) of operators really makes this memorable :D
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

A very nice puzzle game!
It gets really fun when you finally understand how to get the face you want to move any tile around.
I liked the concept, and it would be very easy to expand for a bit more difficulty (new operators, multiple doors, smaller rooms to force you to navigate carefully, etc).
The only thing that bothered me was that the restart button was next to the pull one. I stopped using E alltogether after my 5th accidental reload ^^'
But apart from that, great submission! =)
Thanks for the feedback. You can also pull with Q but after the ratings are done I'm going to make the restart button a hold.

Oh, yes, this is what I meant by "stopped using E", I switched to Q instead.
It's just that Q feels less natural to reach than E (to me at least).
Well done!
Enjoyment: 4/5 (the dice puzzles were entertaining) Creativity: 5/5 (the operator blocks were interesting) Presentation: 4/5 (I wish there was a “are you sure you want to exit” screen, or at least save my progress so I can start from where I left off)
I didn’t take strenuous notes this time as I was too busy playing the puzzles. Good job!
Thanks for the feedback! I did have it saving but by the time we realized it wasn't saving it was already uploaded and I couldn't fix it. I forgot to remove the reset after I was done testing the music.

Ah math, my worst enemy... At least we don't have to do complex algebra here, can you imagine? XD
Wonderfully executed concept, nice graphics and fun gameplay!
Thanks!

Sokoban + dice + arithmetic operation ? My brain is melting and I am level 2 :'(
Love the dice animation.
I love that since the dice operator is only 3 different faces repeat 2 times at opposite face, I could predict exactly what will be the next face with my move.
Maybe do more easy level at the beginning for people like me :p
I'm glad you liked it. It honestly turned out more difficult than we intended lol.

Art looks really good, and I liked how the "operation" die also changed, so there are multiple solutions possible.
Thank You.

Ingenious, it feels like I'm learning not just playing, and brilliantly executed with nice controls and art. One thing I'd love is a die in the corner that I could rotate around to remind myself of the orders of the numbers, since the dice on the levels only show two sides at once.
Thank you for the kind words.
