After years of burning coal, came the heat. The last survivors ride on a train, followed by the deadly light of the sun.

Really amazing game design, I played the game all the way to the end. The gameplay was fast-paced and I was engaged the entire time; it really is a work of art. The visuals were also super well done. My only critique is that I thought only the red dice could be fed into the furnaces because of the colors, so maybe making them a little more different would be better. Overall a really great submission!

I believe this is one of the best-designed games I have played in the Jam so far.

Submitted

Wonderful theming, interesting mechanics, overall really well done. Would have liked the gameplay to get mixed up as it went long, but it is a jam and you can only do so much.

Submitted

Amazing!

Submitted

not sure if it's beatable as i got to "one more day" but wow this game is gorgeous

i love how well thought out the mechanics are, great sound design as well.

could use with a bit more help or a tutorial at the beginning tho

Incredible presentation! With a simple premise, easy controls and captivating gameplay. Could not ask for more. This is amazing.

Submitted

Loved the art and music, solid gameplay!

Very chill game. Are the game moments scripted or did everyone die because I was bad???

Submitted

That was so beautifully atmospheric, and you did such a great job with the message. Adored every moment, and this is definitely my favorite game this jam.

Submitted

Amazing game! Loved the aesthetics and chill music.

Submitted

Waow, that is probably the most atmospheric game jam game I have played... very well done

Submitted

Loved the art. The gameplay reminds me a bit of dicey dungeon with the swap increase and split effects

Submitted

Great game, lovely visual, very enjoyable. If I had to find issues it would most likely be the lack of feedback when picking up a die and maybe not knowing the rules on respawning dies.

Submitted

Great game. But a score count would be nice.

Submitted

Great atmosphere! I think you can start with the harder challenges (=2, etc) earlier, the first 3 minutes weren't very interesting. Once it picks up and you need to start using the tools, it's quite fun! Nice job :)

Beautiful art!

Submitted

Really chill game i enjoy the vibe ! 

Submitted

The game has really good balance of relaxing atmosphere and time pressure to keep me playing quite some time. The art is beautiful and the game mechanics is easy to understand, but at the same time it makes you feel smart when you change values on the dice. Also the visualization of how far you are to losing is simple but effective. And occasional "cutscenes" makes the game not just about putting cubes to some slots, but they add depth to the game.

Art and music were both really nice. The whole feel and presentation of the game was great.

Played it multiple time to see if there was a good ending
