A nice twist on the dice puzzle game setup. Especially having the die be able to "murder" the collectable. Definitely an interesting additional challenge when trying to get them without murdering them.
Though I will say the instant reset was a little jarring for the first bit whenever that happened. Not exactly what I was expecting but I figured it out eventually. That reset definitely makes it pretty challenging to try and just attempt something though, which is not really what you want in a puzzle game where the entire loop is "attempt something".
It could be interesting on a side not e as well to have more variety of dice and see what mixups that could cause. Could lead to some interesting setups for sure.
Overall a really interesting base and setup for a puzzle game that could have some very interesting additions. I'm interested to see what else may be added whenever possible.

Die-HunterFantastic puzzle game! I only wish there were more levels and I could hold keys to keep moving.

Dice CombatIt is such a complete little game!
I liked everything! The puzzles, the art, the music, the gameplay and the game time. Look like you managed your dev time very well.
Congrats!

You Against PixiesSmart concept and good execution. The puzzles felt fair, made sense and had some "a-ha" moments (especially puzzle 3). In terms of artstyle, it is certainly simplistic, though in a good way - I live the pallete you used (this one, isn't it?) and both the animations and the sound effects were punchy enough for the game to have that extra oomph. Overall, good entry.

ColorHexA fun puzzle game with a creative use of the theme, I'm always a sucker for good pixel art (if my own game didn't give that away) and your goods great!

Dice Knight 2600Love love love this. So far this has been my favorite game of the jam. You're art is beautiful and I really like your color palette. The mechanic is fun and innovative, and that last level is really smart and tricky! Only piece of feedback I have is that it took me quite a while to figure out level one, but once it clicked I was off and played through the whole thing.
Great work, congrats on submitting and thanks for the wonderful game!

Dice CasterI like this alot, really great puzzle game.
One time I clipped through the wall, but I guess it because I pressed movement keys really fast :D

Shoot The DiceCool game great presentation took a min to figure out how to play but after that I had a great time

Dice RollerThis was a very creative interpretation of the theme! The puzzles were well-designed as well. I wouldn't mind playing more! Played at https://twitch.tv/hedgein <3

Polyhedral PummelingGreat game! Easy to understand concept and very clean visuals and audio.
I personaly felt like puzzles were a bit to easy to figure out. I wonder if this idea as is can be used to create something truly challenging, or perhaps there needs to be some extra mechanic to do so. For example level 6 would be way more challenging if the player was able to move the boxes around and had to place them at certain positions to stop the die rotation.
In any case - very enjoyable game and a creative interpretation of the theme.

Night of The Dead FishermenVery unique use of theme. I love the dice weapon mechanic. I would be interested in seeing an expansion of this game with more levels, mechanics, and maybe enemies. Great job.

Crapshot SaloonPlayed it all the way to completion, fantastic game jam game! Great presentation, great music and a cool mechanic that fits the theme :)

Dickie RollemNice game, the mechanic is worked out well enough, so that you sometimes need to think in different ways of using it, to solve the puzzles.
The art looks cute too!
Overall it's a good demo that you can build upon. Only thing that came across negatively is, that I managed to get stuck in walls, and also managed to completely go out of bounds.
At least there's a restart button : D

Frimbly and the Cave of WondersAn original take on the theme and a really unique idea, and I mean it, haven't seen anything close to similar among many entries I've seen. Right now it's very short and on the easier side, but the core mechanic is very thought out, which makes it enjoyable to figure the puzzles out. Overall a solid entry, you should consider building on it post-jam.

Roll or DieNeat concept!
What I liked?
- Clever usage of the Dice theme, each throw needs to be thought wisely, otherwise a crystal can be broken
- The graphic style is nice
- Breaking crates felt satisfying!
Other comments:
- The Roll SFX is a bit strange for my taste, it didn't feel quite right
Honestly great job! I saw that you felt de-motivated at a moment of the jam, but you can be proud of your work, I had fun!

Roll On Dice - Jam VersionI like how it's actually becomes sophisticated as you go along. The grenade is quite an interesting mechanic.
