The game feels polished and complete, good job! There are a few games like this in the jam, but I feel like this one properly combines multiple ideas into one quality product.

Interesting idea that when the die is facing upwards you can use that tile. Great job on the poem in the description.  Great Job. :D

Nicely polished game! It's minor, but I liked the little story in the description, it added that extra bit of flair. :)

Also, having keyboard shortcuts to pass levels is a genius idea for a game jam!

really polished and fun game. Having different kind of level locks on the dice is a cool idea and really opens up the design space

The game is really polished and creative. I really like the idea of the key, portal, and flag instead of just numbers. The levels are really difficult but luckily we can pass them with T and Y. Great work.

Nice work! I enjoyed the music and the puzzles were relaxing. Maybe adding the ability to rotate the die in-place would allow the player to strategize a bit more. Cool game!

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the idea!

This game was really fun to me. I really like these types of puzzle games and the artstyle and audio fit right in. Great game :)

Thank you so much! Glad you liked it :)

Nice idea. I feel like the puzzle solving could be made easier in some way. I mostly just move around until I get it right, instead of trying to figure it out. I wish there was some feedback when landing on the right side as well. Cosy little game otherwise. Great job!

Thanks for playing and providing feedback! There's definitely some room for improvement indeed.  I myself bruteforced through some of the levels while playtesting too, which isn't really the point of a puzzle game.

I liked it, but solving levels is basically trial-and-error.

The idea of having your character be a dice is original and works well, but it can be hard to actually "deduce" the solution of a level. I finished most levels by randomly rolling my dice around the map and then trying to go for the exit. I think allowing you to see all the faces of the dice whenever you like instead of only one at a time would've made easier and more intuitive.

Thanks for the comment, I fully agree with you! Showing only one face at a time really does make it difficult, and we should have shown other faces in some way. Great to hear that you still had some fun while playing though! :)

The graphics are good and the animation of the rolling die is very well done. The core concept of the game was explained but it was never explained what the faces on the dice do exactly so after being able to make through the first few levels without understanding it, I came to a level that required me to know what was going on in the game and I couldn't solve it.

The first few levels were meant as an introduction, but were not enough of a tutorial it seems like. Thanks for the kind words and feedback!

Nice concept! The levels are fun to figure out :)

Thanks, good to hear!
