As I'm sure you're aware, this isn't the only game out there with this puzzle design, but oh boy did you do some great things with theme and adding in extra puzzle elements. I really liked the aesthetics; it makes a big difference to how the game feels compared to just "dice in a void". Good work!

This is a well made puzzle game with great pixel art, even though I'm terrible at these puzzles.
The music loop was pretty jarring, though.
I really enjoyed your game's aesthetic! The music, backgrounds, and even the way you animated the 2D die rolling impressed me. Great work!
I'm on camera trying your game here if you'd like to see, a timestamp link to your game is in the description!
Super cool puzzle game ! it's a nice twist on the theme , Great art work !! clean gameplay !! Nice entry and good stuff overall !! :))
Great game, the music and graphics are very good! Love that space theme, and those next move indicators are a great plus!
Solid puzzles, but a lot of them can be brute-forced by just rolling in circles until you are oriented correctly to step on a button. The rooms with the dice you could roll around could also benefit from a tile that your die can sit on but the others cannot, so you can get them off of walls and corners without needing to reset.
Best game so far and highest rating too. Not my kinda game though. Not into puzzles but solid game play and I could see myself wanting to try again.
Fun game! I've seen a few games in this jam with the same premise, but this is probably the most polished. Great job!
Very cool idea and quite challenging! The puzzles were well thought out, some nice variation there to keep things interesting.
I thought the music was good. Art style was very simple but effective.
One minor thing I noticed was I was able to move through some of the walls on level 2-1, not sure if that was intentional.
Interesting game, I like using the "roll" as movement of the dice.
I found the roman numerals a bit confusing, could have been easier if they were semi transparent dice or something else.
Good job though, very cool puzzles.
Thanks for playing! That was a concern for us, and it turned into basically a stylistic decision to add the roman numerals, to allow players to see what thte next face was. But yes, if we had more time the next few features to add were ui indicators instead of on die and changing between roman numerals and regular numbers. Thanks for the feedback!
wow, that was really good. while this type of bloxorz/htwins-cube-roll puzzle game has been done to death in the jam, this deserves major credit for providing an intuitive visualization of the dice. at first it's like trying to understand four dimensional space, but then it just becomes brilliantly clever, and was probably the best rendition of this type of game i've seen yet, mainly because of it. i dunno, that aspect just really stood out to me. other than that, gouda level design and atmosphere as well.
