Loved the game, the visuals were cute and the audio was nice as well. It didn't always want to move the block I wanted to, but besides that I really enjoyed it!
Controls can be a little picky but this is a lovely looking and fun game. Nice one
I like the game. Good job!
Very Confusing! Maybe you should put in a feature letting you switch any dice. Great Job!
Presentation and art is the best
Game feels very polished for such a short period of time. The reroll button was a nice touch to keep the game balanced. One way to maybe open up more strategies could be to add some indicator that tells the player what next dice type is coming. Overall solid game and clear gameplay loop.
Thank you! I think that could be a nice feature.
Nice little game. I like the polish and animations. The mechanics are enjoyable, and the addition of black dice adds a challenge. I did not understand that you couldn't slide upwards that at first, maybe you could've communicated some of the mechanics better? Also I'd suggest adding some sort of indicator to tell how much time is left before a row of blocks is added at the bottom. Cool stuff!
Thanks for the suggestions. I appreciate the Feedback :)
Well presented little arcade puzzler! Love the way the dice bounce when they land!
I appreciate that, thank you so much!
Cool game! I enjoyed playing it a lot. I thought it was pretty challenging, but not in a bad way. Being able to just slide a die over from a few spots away also was quite satisfying, in contrast to the more classic bejeweled way of doing things. I haven't played match 3 games in ages, so that's still my reference :)
The black die reroll button was a nice 'oh damn, save me please' button with a little risk attached to it. Fun!
Haha! I definitely panic roll when it gets towards the top.
It's a match 3 game so it's not that original, but I like the concept.
What a clever game! Being able to re-roll black dice but being unable to move them and having another die drop in makes for a great balance of mechanics. You took an existing concept and gave it a very clever spin, great job!
Thank you so much!
The little bounce on the blocks when they change positions was perfect! dragging to swap wasn't always responsive though
This has to be one of my favorites! The music was perfect and the game itself was so addicting I just wanted to keep playing again and again lol. Would love this as a mobile game for sure!
Super cute and definitely one of my favorite games I've played so far. I love the music and sound effects and everything is super snappy, I love it. I'm a big fan of very simplistic pixel art that you used and I think you did a really great job with it. I think my highest score that I got was 735, not sure how good that is but I thought it was good hehe. My only criticism is that sometimes the clicking is unresponsive, and I lost quite a few times to not being able to move a die that I know will save me from losing. Despite the frustration from that minor bug, I think your game is fantastic and really well designed. Great work!
Thank you so much! I would love to see this on mobile, definitely would need to really get those controls down first though :)
So I've been playing the game a bit more on my PC rather than my laptop before and the game runs a lot better with little to no unresponsiveness. Must have just been my laptop acting up lmao.
Also my high score is climbing pretty high hehe. I will 100% play a mobile version of this.
Pretty, satisfying, nice difficulty and thematic. I really enjoyed this, and it does everything I could want from a Jam game. Do you think you'll continue developing at all? It could do great on mobile
Only thing of note for myself was I felt the die weren't always responsive so I had to try move them a few times to get them to go. Which was confusing at first because of course sometimes you can't move them! Darn black dice.
Anyways. Don't mind me. Imma just try beat my high score now
Haha, glad you like it! I agree that the movement is finicky. Right now it looks to see what you grid position is when you end your click. Probably would be better to just check if you are left or right of your original click position.
Oh, the first match 3 dice game I play! I didn't even think of this type of game when brainstorming haha.
The arts are really on point and it worked perfectly, just missing the highlight on the dice you try to move and some feedback the move is not allowed!
Well done!
Thank you! I think a highlighting the active dice would definitely help.
I think you gave a really cool twist to classic connect-3 games with the black dice, had a blast playing this for a while!
Very cool idea! I love the graphics. Super simple idea executed well!
Very cute little game!
I was a little confused at first, I didn't understand why sometimes the dice would move, and sometimes they wouldn't. Eventually I figured it out. I'm curious why you chose to block the up and down movement. :)
I think the game was way too easy when you could move any direction. I think it would be a great idea to highlight which places you can move when clicking on the dice. Appreciate the feedback!
Controls were weird at first but wow it's an addicting game. Simple art but that gives it charm. Nice!
I agree about the controls. I think they can definitely be refined and made more clear to the player. So glad you like the art!
