Awesome concept! And everything surrounding the idea is great: visuals, audio, gameplay! I could definitely imagine this game being played by thousands of Facebook moms on their phones!

The puzzle is very enjoyable, the graphic is nice, the sound is so fit with the game. Very nice overall !

Cool game! A very interesting spin on the topic, and the gameplay is very intuitive. The fact that we can see a preview of the die is a great touch as well. Overall a really solid game that's a lot of fun to play. Good job!

Simple, yet interesting mechanic. Nice work!

Loved the idea, very unique! Also impressed how you managed to show five sides in a space of a single dice. I wish I’ve thought about that, too! Great game all around

Wow good Stuff !!

Fun game! A new take on the many dice rolling puzzlers.

By the way, a typical d6 is different (has opposite faces add to seven). Your dice works too though :).

Thank you! Yes, this very well might be. Initially, I wanted to randomize the dice as well as the path (due to the time I ended up making both fixed). But thinking again, assigning random numbers to the sides of the dice would have been not correct anyway. :)

  • I appreciate the GIF on the page that explains the game :)
  • You found a nice solution to show sides of a dice
  • Some variation would be nice after a few levels (obstacles / walls, multipliers, or something similar)

Fun game! I really enjoyed it, I just wished there were more levels, and maybe some variations on the mechanics after a while. Congratulations!

Very unique idea. Must have been tough figuring out those levels :D

The presentation is very clean, perfect for a number-styled puzzle game like this.

I get that the number "points" which direction it'll be placed, but that doesn't necessarily feel like rolling... maybe with a different theming besides dice, it would make more sense.

Most of the levels, there's only one direction you can move at any given time, so there's not too much difficulty. I can see a lot of potential though!

The view of the dice was a little bit confusing at first. I thought I was seeing it from above so when moving to the left, I expected the right side to become the new “top”, but it was the other way around.

Interesting gameplay idea. Most of the time, it was maybe a bit too easy, at least after the first two-three moves in each level, it was very clear what the way forward had to be.

I like the color palette and the minimalist look.

The win sound was a maybe a bit scary/noisy/loud idk… but the music, lose and walk sound all fit really well.

Creative take on the puzzle genre. Well done :)

It was a little confusing at first but I managed to beat all levels and enjoyed it. Well done!

Well polished game. I was also confused how to play it. Little tutorial screen in the beginning would help a lot and you can release it right away (+ already suggested a procedural generationa)

Interesting game! It was a bit confusing at first but after a while I managed to understand it anyway. Puzzles are in the right difficulty for me, not too easy, not too hard. Gameplay feels clean and responsive, which helps a lot with the puzzles. Overall very nice!

Cool and intuitive game. I like the visuals and the sound, winning is really satisfying. This could be easily a nice mobile game with some swipe mechanic :)

When I started I didn't really understand what I was doing, but it's pretty intuitive, so I managed anyway! I'm sure this is a collection of premade levels, but if you found a way to make them procedurally this would make for a pretty cool infinite mobile game.
Nicely done!

Developer

Thanks, yes procedurally was the plan, but I ran out of time. I may add it later though.

Really fun puzzle! I would expect the face at the left to be on top when I go right, but it's a detail! The visuals are sweet! The game is polished, it has potential for a small complete commercial game! Great job!

Looks nice, but the controls don't work in my browser

Developer

Did you try the .exe? Arrows or WASD should move the dice.
