I've played a lot of games like this, but yours is the most polished one I've seen of all. Very good job! And normally I detest move limits for puzzle games because I feel they discourage exploration and add unnecessary pressure, but in this game I felt the move limit played a subtle but still noticeable and positive role in the puzzles, discouraging aimless rolling around but not feeling intrusive at all, and even preventing a particular solution in the "5 and 4" puzzle (forgot which level was that, but because of the move counter you basically had to get the 4 before the 5).
Also, a very small niggle, but the dice movement could be a bit faster. Still, this didn't take much away from the overall experience.

Roll Of The DiceThanks for playing, also good feedback on the speed, yes should have kept the speed maybe adaptive to the distance traveled :)
The timer is a bit controversial, in later iterations planning to hide it and maybe have a score system based of of it rather than it being a fail condition.
Also saw your game on Mark's stream looks sweet, unfortunately the mac version shows up as damaged for me :/

If the video doesn't work try the following:
- Open Terminal.app
- Navigate to the folder containing my game and use the "cd path_to_the_app_folder" command, e.g. "cd ~/Downloads/" if it is in the Downloads folder
- Run the command xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "Roll Of The Dice.app" (including quotation marks and .app extension)
Sorry if you had to go through so much trouble, I have never used a Mac in my entire life. I should have thought twice about including the Mac build without playtesting it.
Really love the visuals, the audio match the comfy vibes very well. Very well polished, and the dice mechanic is implemented well. Its a very chill & fun puzzle game, great job for your very first game!

Lost or Found: Alien InvasionLove the art style! Also the mouse pointer works way better in an isometric environment as opposed to wasd, so great job!

Kasino KartThe game is very polish and pleasant to play. The puzzles are well designed.
It's very clever to used mouse and pathfinding instead of w/a/s/d like other games do. Moving the camera is a good idea too.
Adding an undo button (undo only 1 action), and a way to speed up the dice could be usefull.
Very solid entry, congrats !

Dicey GhostAwesome art style! Love that it was made by two brothers. I thought it would be easy, but man was it hard. I might not be as good at puzzle games as I thought xD Congrats on your submission :)

Trust the DiceWow amazing job on the art style and overall polish here! I love the art and theme, and you paired music and sfx so nicely with it. Im not the best with these dice rolling puzzle games because I definitely have a hard time understanding how to move it to get the right sides but I started to pick it up. Awesome job!

Tauri Latgale: Lost In The WoodsThis is your first game? Awesome! I loved the puzzle design and the visuals.

InfinidiceI had this exact idea when we were coming up with plans for what to do, but this is executed so much better than what I had in mind! So much polish!
I think the game would really benefit from two quality of life improvements. First, a way to make the dice move faster - it's pretty frustrating to have to wait for the dice to move, especially in big levels.
Second, a way to undo a move if you make a mistake. Sometimes I'd feel like I got so close, but then had to do the whole level again because I messed up one move at the end.
Other than that, really solid entry all around!

Ready To RollThis game is so freaking polished that it's hard to believe it was only made in 48 hours. And the ability to move the camera is a great feature that a lot of other games like this are missing. Great Job!
